# Introduction

To automatically record a trip when the application runs in background, the DriveKit SDK must be allowed to access the phone's sensors.

Access to this data is allowed by iOS and Android under certain conditions. It is essential to inform the user and ask him to grant the required permissions to allow the application to access the data measured by the smartphone's sensors.

To help you collect consent from your users, the DriveKit SDK provides a graphical component, Permissions Utils, which displays the appropriate requests after the installation of the application.

The Permissions Utils component also contains a diagnosis functionality that alerts the user if the smartphone settings are not properly set up and guides the user to solve the detected issue.

We recommend you to test this component in the [DriveKit Demo App](/master.md#the-drivekit-demo-app) before you integrate it in your application.
