Can employers legally ask you to provide your make, model, and tags of your vehicle?

Wouldn't this be a privacy concern/issue?

Can employers legally ask you to provide your make, model, and tags of your vehicle?
It depends what they need the info for. It might be for parking enforcement, to make sure only employees are parking in their lot.





Just ask why.
Reply:I don't know about the legality of it but the company I work for does have a database that they can match the tag number too if there is an accident in the parking garage. This makes it easier for them to find the owner of a damaged vehicle.
Reply:There are many legitimate reasons to want to know this, most importantly may be to keep from towing your vehicle out of the parking lot!





It is no more a violation of privacy than them wanting to know your birthday. They don't really need it, but it may come in handy someday.
Reply:I believe if it is a job where you will be using your own vehicle.
Reply:Yes they can. Suppose someone looks out in the parking lot and sees a car being towed away. Suppose it's yours, wouldn't you appreciate it if they'd find you and tell you about it?


No, I guess it's none of their business which car is yours, and why should they worry about it. """ NOT MY CAR! WHO GIVES A F###!???"""
Reply:Yes they certainly can especially if you use it for work purposes, park it on your employer's property or near your employer's property then of course they can ask for these details, I am taking tag to mean to mean its number plate or license plate. It allows them to identify whose vehicles are on their property, whose vehicles have been parked illegally etc, it also allows them to make sure that their property is only being used to park legitimate vehicles.
Reply:Often, it's to record that vehicle as being approved to park in your company's parking lot or garage. Similarly, hotels usually ask for your vehicle information when you check in.








If your company doesn't have a private lot, then I'd be more inclined to question it.
Reply:This might be for your own safety. If there is a strange car in the employee parking lot, they want to make sure you aren't going to be hurt by someone else's actions.
Reply:Privacy issue?


The make of your car is written on it as the makers "branding" to advertise their vehicle every time you drive it.


The color is blatantly obvious - there is no expectation of privacy of the color of your car.


Plate # - same thing.....it is out there for the world to see at all times.





None of those things are private. Most companies just want to know who's car is parked on their property.
Reply:not if its a job that requires you to use you personal vehicle for you job,
Reply:employers can ask especially if you use your car in your job. I have also heard of companies that track cars in their parking lot and they will tow cars that do not belong to employees.
Reply:Not if you are parking in their privacy space.
