What Is Consumer Tracking Law?
Companies analyze consumers’ online activities by tracking their behavior. There is no specific consumer tracking law in the U.S. at the federal level; however, Federal Trade Commission Behavioral Advertising Principles recommend that websites disclose data collection policies that are used to create targeted marketing. The legal areas of consumer tracking deal with how websites, analytics companies, advertisers, plug-in providers, and other online services track users via first- and third-party cookies, as well as other methods. Consumers do have the option to use the Do Not Track (DNT) settings available in web browser settings, though companies do not have to legally follow DNT requests. If a company adopts a policy of honoring Do Not Track requests, it is legally required to follow that policy. The FTC also has guidelines for the collection of user location data by mobile apps when the apps are not in use.

What Is Tracking and Monitoring Law?
Tracking and monitoring law is related to the rights of individuals and often addressed through state legislation. Tracking law looks at when and how individuals can be tracked through GPS devices and location services. Employers have the right to track company vehicles through GPS devices but cannot track an employee’s vehicle in many states without employee consent. (A written policy on tracking and monitoring may be required, with the policies stating a business purpose for the activities.) Tracking apps on mobile phones can continue to broadcast an employee’s location even after work hours. That is why companies must ensure they are satisfying employees’ expectations of privacy.
