Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah

I work for a company who provides me with a car allowance as I am a traveling salesman. So I'm responsible for my insurance, purchasing the car etc. and then I am reimbursed basically 71% of the cost of the vehicle and for my gas. So the vehicle is for personal and private use as I own it. The company now wants to give me a GPS tracking device so they can track my movements and montior my mileage. Is this legal? does it violate some privacy rights?
