GPS Tracking

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Company is based in Minnesota, my "branch" is in North Dakota, but I work on both sides of the border.

Hope this is the right spot? Didn't see much that really pertained to it...

Anyway, recently we got new phones at work, and there have been rumors of GPS tracking, directly from my Supervisor(who has no control over it either), and I have seen evidence that it exists with the program we use on our phones. My question is this: Do they have to tell us they are potentially doing this or is there no such "law" for that? It seems weird they would just start doing it without even telling anyone about it, and sort of "wrong", too? I really have nothing to hide with it, but if this is the case, I don't plan to employed there much longer.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: Just for the record, my co-worker and I had the GPS disabled on our phones so the battery will last the whole day, and just about 20 mins ago, the guy in charge of the phones just logged into my phone remotely and I SAW him enable the GPS on my phone while I was watching it.

Yes, they can put GPS on their phones.

I understand they can, and obviously the phones have it built in, but do they have to disclose anything to the employees before they actually track them?
