Data Privacy in Remote Alcohol Monitoring: Who Sees Your Results and How They're Protected

Each BACtrack View test can generate a BAC reading, GPS location, and video record. Account settings and BACtrack's privacy policy determine who can access that information and how it is handled.

Whether you are completing a court-ordered monitoring requirement, navigating a custody arrangement, or holding yourself accountable in recovery, each test builds a record of your compliance. Remote alcohol monitoring data privacy is governed by two separate but related structures: the account-level permissions you configure in BACtrack View, which control who receives your test results, and the BACtrack Privacy Policy, which governs how BACtrack handles, stores, and may share your monitoring data at the company level.

What follows covers both: the access structure that controls who receives your results, and the Privacy Policy terms that govern how BACtrack handles your monitoring data. Every claim cites the BACtrack Privacy Policy (last updated March 12, 2026) or BACtrack's published product documentation.

What Does BACtrack View Actually Collect?

Per the BACtrack Privacy Policy (last updated March 12, 2026), BACtrack View collects six categories of personal data: identifiers, sensitive personal information, biometric information, financial information, internet and network activity, and inferences and profile information. Understanding what enters the system is the foundation for understanding who can access it and how it is protected. BACtrack does not sell personal information collected under any of these categories, though the Privacy Policy does define specific circumstances under which data may be shared with third parties.

Each test submission generates a specific set of records. A timestamped BAC reading establishes the result. A precise GPS location confirms where the test was taken. An HD video recording documents who submitted the test. A breathalyzer activity log entry is added to the monitoring record. These per-test data points correspond to the categories defined in the Privacy Policy.

Identifiers include your name, phone number, email address, postal address, user ID number, customer service correspondence, images and videos associated with your BACtrack View activity, and social media handles.

Sensitive personal information includes your precise geolocation and information collected and analyzed concerning your health.

Biometric information is collected by BACtrack as described in the BACtrack View Biometric Notice (see References). The Privacy Policy does not specify biometric data types in its main text; the Biometric Notice is the authoritative source for that detail.

Internet and network activity covers two distinct sets of data. The first applies to website use: IP address, mobile device identifier, cookie identifier, account user identifiers, browser and device identifiers, device heuristics including operating system, and web pages visited. The second applies to use of the BACtrack View mobile application: device status, logs of breathalyzer activity, and precise geolocation during app use.

Financial information includes credit card and other billing data collected for subscription management.

Inferences and profile information includes product feedback, testimonials, and interest-based profile data.

Who Can Access Your Test Results?

Two separate access structures govern your monitoring data, and they operate at different levels.

The first is the account-level access structure. The default access relationship is centered on the Tester and the Monitor, and additional access depends on how the account or monitoring arrangement is configured. A Tester may have multiple Monitors, and a Monitor may manage multiple Testers. Beyond that default relationship, other parties may receive access depending on what was agreed upon before or at the start of the monitoring arrangement. Per BACtrack View's published guidance: "In a legal situation, disclosure of the test results to other third parties may be a violation of privacy."

The second is BACtrack's company-level data sharing as described in Privacy Policy §3. Per the Privacy Policy, BACtrack does not sell personal information. However, BACtrack may share or transfer data in the following circumstances:

• With organizations affiliated with KHN Solutions LLC, which operates BACtrack
• With Shopify, which provides credit card processing and shopping cart services
• With service providers that support website and product functionality
• With advertising services, per BACtrack's cookie disclosures
• With your consent, including with others to whom you have connected your account
• When required by law enforcement or other legal or regulatory obligation
• To a buyer or potential future buyer of KHN Solutions LLC or BACtrack-related assets

BACtrack may also aggregate or anonymize your information and share it with partners for market research or other business purposes.

The account-level access structure governs who receives your test results within BACtrack View's monitoring system. BACtrack's Privacy Policy governs how the company may use and transfer your underlying data in operating its business. Before finalizing how your monitoring arrangement is configured, reviewing what to consider before setting up remote alcohol monitoring covers the key decisions involved in structuring access from the start.

How the Access Controls Work

The Monitor designation, set by you at account setup, controls who receives real-time test results and the ability to request on-demand tests. Changing who holds the Monitor designation, or adding other parties to your results feed, requires a deliberate account action.

Once the Monitor is designated, their role is defined and functional. They receive real-time test results as you submit them, notifications about testing activity, and the ability to initiate on-demand tests when required. This is the default state of the system: the Tester and their designated Monitor seeing results as they come in.

BACtrack View uses on-camera verification, high-resolution video, and additional device checks to help confirm that the correct person is testing and that the test is not tampered with. These identity and integrity controls work alongside the account-level access structure to defend the reliability of each test result. When a compliant result needs to hold up in court, a checkmark alone invites challenge. Opposing counsel can argue the tester sent a proxy. The combination of video documentation and on-camera verification closes that argument before it starts.

How BACtrack View Protects Your Monitoring Data

Per Privacy Policy §7, BACtrack has implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. BACtrack notes that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute security.

BACtrack may share information with affiliates, Shopify, service providers, advertising services, others you consent to, legal authorities, and buyers or potential buyers of assets, as described in Privacy Policy §3. Sharing outside those defined circumstances is not permitted under the Policy. 

For users in the United Kingdom or European Union, BACtrack uses a variety of legal mechanisms to protect the integrity and security of your information when transferring it to the United States, including requiring data service providers to agree to Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. The Privacy Policy does not enumerate all mechanisms; SCCs are one of several BACtrack View employs to protect your data in international transfers.

What Happens to Your Data When Monitoring Ends?

Security measures govern how data is protected while it exists. Retention policy governs how long it exists. BACtrack View documents both.

Per Privacy Policy §5, BACtrack retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected: to provide services, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable law. The policy does not specify fixed calendar-based retention windows; retention is purpose-bound.

Users may request deletion of personal information, subject to certain exceptions. Requests require identity verification before BACtrack can act. BACtrack requires verification that you are the person whose information is in question before fulfilling any deletion request.

To request data deletion or ask about the retention timeline for your records:

• Email: privacy@bactrack.com
• Phone: (415) 693-9756

What Privacy Rights Do You Have as a User?

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to know, access, delete, correct, limit certain use of sensitive data, opt out of certain processing, and contact a supervisory authority. Not all rights are available to all users. The BACtrack Privacy Policy (§4) describes which rights apply and how to exercise them.

• Right to know what personal information BACtrack collects, from which sources, for which purposes, and with which categories of third parties
• Right to access and portability: receive a copy of your personal information in a portable format
• Right to delete personal information BACtrack has collected, subject to certain legal exceptions
• Right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information
• Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information: BACtrack restricts its use of sensitive personal information to purposes permitted under California law, and accordingly states it does not provide this opt-out right under the CCPA
• Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, and of any processing for decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects
• Right to contact a supervisory authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated

Per Privacy Policy §4, BACtrack does not use automated decision-making technology as that concept is defined under California privacy law. This statement applies specifically to California; the Policy does not extend this position to other jurisdictions.

Washington state residents: BACtrack maintains a separate Washington Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice covering your rights with respect to consumer health data.

To exercise any of these rights:

• US residents, email: privacy@bactrack.com
• US residents, phone: (415) 693-9756
• UK and EU residents, email: DPO@BACtrack.com

Rights requests are handled by BACtrack's privacy team. Identity verification applies to all requests.

When BACtrack View Fits Your Situation

In legal, custody, and recovery contexts, the stakes attached to monitoring data are real. Who sees your results is determined by your account setup, not by passive default. What BACtrack does with your underlying data is governed by documented policy terms you can verify and exercise rights against. Both structures are configurable and auditable before monitoring begins. The BACtrack View Privacy Policy (updated March 12, 2026) is the authoritative source for both questions.
