Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 June 2026

Fleetbooks Ltd respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal data when you use our website, web application, mobile applications, APIs, telematics platform, and related services.

Fleetbooks is a business-to-business fleet tracking, telematics, and fleet management platform. Our customers are usually companies, fleet operators, resellers, logistics businesses, vehicle tracking providers, and other organisations.

Some of the data processed through Fleetbooks may relate to individual users, drivers, employees, contractors, or other people connected with our customers. This may include location, vehicle, driver, telematics, alert, report, and operational data.

1. Who We Are

Fleetbooks is operated by:

Fleetbooks Ltd
Registered Address: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ
Email: info@fleet-books.com
Website: https://fleet-books.com

For account management, website enquiries, support, marketing, billing, platform administration, and our own business records, Fleetbooks Ltd is usually the data controller.

For fleet tracking, vehicle, driver, asset, sensor, telematics, alert, report, and operational data processed on behalf of our customers, Fleetbooks Ltd usually acts as a data processor. In those cases, the customer is normally the data controller, because the customer decides which vehicles, drivers, assets, users, and devices are tracked and why.

If you are a driver, employee, contractor, or end user of one of our customers, you should also refer to that customer's own privacy notice.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • The Fleetbooks website
  • The Fleetbooks web application
  • Fleetbooks mobile applications, when released
  • Fleetbooks APIs
  • Fleetbooks support and communication channels
  • Fleet tracking, telematics, reporting, alerting, and fleet management services provided through our platform

This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy notices of our customers. Where a customer uses Fleetbooks to monitor vehicles, drivers, employees, contractors, or assets, that customer is responsible for providing appropriate privacy information to the affected individuals.

3. Personal Data We Collect

We may use or share aggregated or anonymised information that does not identify individuals for analytics, product improvement, benchmarking, reporting, or commercial purposes.

8. International Customers and Transfers

Fleetbooks is hosted in the United Kingdom.

However, we may serve customers worldwide, and some third-party providers, resellers, support partners, or customers may be located outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will use appropriate safeguards where required by applicable data protection laws. These may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

Customers are responsible for ensuring their use of Fleetbooks complies with the laws applicable to their own organisation, employees, drivers, vehicles, and operations.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required by law, contract, accounting, tax, security, dispute resolution, or regulatory obligations.

For fleet, vehicle, driver, location, telematics, report, and operational data, retention periods are generally determined by the relevant customer or reseller. Customers may decide how long their operational data should be retained, subject to their agreement, configuration, and technical limitations.

Fleetbooks deletes or disables data relating to unused accounts after 90 days, unless a longer period is required for legal, contractual, security, backup, billing, or dispute-resolution purposes.

Typical retention categories include:

These measures include:

  • Customer data separation in a multi-tenant environment
  • Secure hosting practices

No online service can guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a personal data breach that requires notification, we will notify affected customers, users, or regulators where required by law.
