Employee GPS tracking app for employers

Field staff on your map, with a notice on their phone.

eTracking Staff goes on an employee’s phone so their employer can see where the phone is, on your eTracking Live or eTracking Connect account. The employee agrees to the terms in the app first, a notification shows on the phone whenever location is being shared, and the employee can stop sharing at any time. Use it only on your own employees’ phones.

From install to your map in four steps

The employee sets the app up on their own phone. You ask us to add the phone to your account.

  1. Install and agree

    The employee installs the app, agrees to the terms of use and taps your company’s server.

  2. Read the notice

    They read the location notice and allow location all the time.

  3. Hand over the ID

    They give the device ID to their manager, and it is added in the eTracking portal.

  4. See the phone

    The manager sees the phone’s location on the portal.

Terms first, with a tick box

  • Before anything else, the app shows its terms of use
  • Agree and continue only works once the employee ticks “I have read and agree”
  • The phone records which version was agreed to, and when, and shows it under Settings
  • Read them yourself: eTracking Staff terms of use

One tap picks your server

  • The employee taps the server your company uses, and confirms it
  • eTracking Live, at live.etracking.pk, or eTracking Connect, at connect.etracking.pk
  • No server address or company code to type

The location notice, word for word

The same disclosure your employees see in the app, before any permission is asked.

Location disclosure

eTracking Staff collects location data to let the employer see where the employee is, even when the app is closed or not in use. It sends the location, device ID and battery level to the company's eTracking server. A notification shows on the phone whenever location is being shared, and the employee can stop sharing at any time in the app.

How location data is kept and deleted: eTracking Staff privacy policy. What the employee agrees to: eTracking Staff terms of use.

Shown before any permission

  • The app names the server the location goes to
  • It says a notification shows whenever location is being shared
  • “Not now” goes back to the server choice, and nothing is shared
  • Only after “I understand, continue” does the phone ask for permissions

What the employee sees on the phone

The app shows the employee what it shares, and how to stop. Google Play also warns that a monitoring app is on the phone.

A notification, and a way to stop

  • A notification on the phone whenever location is being shared
  • Tracking won’t run with notifications turned off
  • Whether tracking is on, the phone’s device ID and a link to the privacy policy
  • A Stop sharing button in Settings, which asks once more before it stops
  • You may see that the phone has stopped reporting

Your staff on your eTracking map

The phones appear in the eTracking portal you already use.

Each phone, once we add it

  • You ask E-Tracking to add or remove each employee’s phone, by its device ID
  • The portal gives it the Staff Phone category by itself
  • You see the phone’s location and battery level, and its history
  • A phone that stops sharing stops reporting, and you may see that

Works with eTracking Live and Connect

eTracking Staff sends the phone’s location to the server your company already uses. There is no separate manager app.

eTracking Live

If your company uses eTracking Live, the phones go to live.etracking.pk.

The vehicle tracking app: E-Tracking - Live GPS Tracker.

eTracking Connect

If your company uses eTracking Connect, the phones go to connect.etracking.pk.

About Connect: eTracking Connect.

eTracking Staff is for people’s phones. To track a vehicle, use E-Tracking - Live GPS Tracker instead.
