Private /Bussines mode

This feature enables employees to use company vehicles for personal purposes while maintaining compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements. When Private mode is active, the device masks location data and other sensitive information to prevent unauthorized tracking. Business mode restores full data visibility for standard fleet operations.

Private/Business Mode is used in fleet operations where employees may drive company vehicles for both work and personal needs. It helps ensure privacy during personal use by disabling location reporting, while still providing full tracking and operational data during business use.

In the TCT Features section, the Private / Business Mode allows the user to configure when the private mode should activate and deactivate by selecting one of the available feature triggers: a weekly scheduler or an external trigger type. Additionally, the user can define how the system should handle GNSS and odometer data while private mode is active. The feature also supports automatic deactivation of private mode when specific events are detected, such as Unplug, Towing, and other configured triggers.

Prerequisites and Important Settings

• IMPORTANT: After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state will automatically return to the values they had before entering the sleep mode.

Basic Operation

• In the Private/Business window, the user can set the priority level used for sending messages (HIGH or LOW priority).
• The DOUT control function allows indicating the state of Private Mode.When Private Mode is detected as ON, the configured DOUT output will also be switched ON.

DOUT State in Sleep mode

In different sleep modes DOUT behavior as well as Private/Business state are as follows:

Mode	DOUT State	Private/Business State
Online Sleep	Last state before entering sleep	Last state before entering sleep
Deep Sleep	Last state before entering sleep	Last state before entering Deep Sleep
Power Off Sleep	DOUT is OFF	Last state before entering Power Off Sleep

After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state return to the state they were in before entering the sleep mode.

GNSS Data Masking defines how the device will handle location information (GNSS data) while in Private Mode:

• No masking – GNSS information is not hidden.
• GNSS data is sent as zero – In every record sent to the server, the GNSS fields (latitude, longitude, altitude, angle, and number of satellites) are set to “0”.Additionally, GSM Cell ID and GSM Area Code information will not be sent.
• GNSS data is sent as last known good position –The last valid GNSS data (latitude, longitude, altitude) recorded before entering Private Mode is sent in every record.

The following I/O elements are sent as “0”:

• GSM Cell ID (AVL ID 205)
• GSM Area Code (AVL ID 206)
• Private Mode Odometer Stop - when enabled, the device does not accumulate odometer data while Private Mode is active.
• Private Business Deactivation – enables the system to automatically deactivate Private Mode based on selected scenarios.

Available scenarios include: Towing, Unplug, Crash, and Autogeofence. The user can select one, several, or all scenarios from the dropdown menu.

NOTE:
If Trigger type is set to External, the user must press the button or switch again to re enable Private Mode. If Trigger type is set to Weekly Schedule, the user must wait until the next scheduled activation time for Private Mode to be enabled again.

Feature Triggers

This section allows the user to configure the trigger logic that switches the feature between Private Mode and Business Mode.

Trigger Types
1. External
External triggers can be configured using Digital Inputs (DINs). When External is selected, the user can choose a specific DIN for the trigger logic. DIN Mode Options:

• Button Mode

The selected DIN operates as a button.
Private Mode is activated or deactivated when the DIN status changes (triggered on the status transition).

• Switch Mode

The selected DIN operates as a switch.
Private Mode is controlled based on the current DIN value:

• DIN = HIGH → Private Mode enabled
• DIN = LOW → Private Mode disabled

2. Weekly Schedule
A weekly schedule can be configured to automatically enable Private Mode at specific times based on the user defined schedule.

Weekly schedule

• Enables automatic switching between Private Mode and Business Mode based on configured time, date, daylight saving rules, and time zones.
