Yesterday I spoke of the case of the sale of information traffic TomTom to Dutch police, data that is used to place radars in places where drivers stepped over it because the accelerator pedal. In this situation we have made contact with TomTom Spain and the headquarters in the Netherlands that clarify us some aspects of this policy, basically with the purpose of knowing if it is a practice that takes place in Spain or whether it is intended to make at any time.

TomTom has confirmed to Engadget in Spain has not sold the information to any authority of traffic, which in our country would be the DGT, which is why in Spain not have been able to use statistics for the placement of radar on this path.

On what has happened in the Netherlands, we wanted to know If those data that sold authorities was made monitor to view the final use of the same, i.e. If TomTom was concerned with the use that the institutions which sold the data that supplied you your drivers made them. Since only the Netherlands they have replied that from now on they will take more precautions. There is that.
