    II. Privacy Policy – RE_drive App

    We would like to inform you how your personal data will be processed and we will inform you of your rights under data protection law.

    Who is responsible for processing your data?

    Your personal data i.e. any information which identifies you, or which can be identified as relating to you personally, will be collected and used by

    Munich Re Service GmbH
    Königinstrasse 107
    80802 München, Germany

    Tel.: +49 (89) 38 91- 22 55
    Fax: +49 (89) 39 91 7 22 55

    Email: contact@munichre.com

    If you have any questions about this information, you may contact us by post to “Global Consulting” at the above address.

    What data and sources do we use? 

    Information you give us:
    When you download, activate and use the App (or contact us in respect of the App), we may collect any or all of the following information about you:

    • Personal details (name, email, country, company)

    Data we collect automatically: 

    When you install and run the App, we may collect any or all of the following technical data:

    • Device Identifiers (the internet protocol address used to connect your device to the internet, your log-in information, browser type and version, regional settings, operating system and platform);
    • data about your use of the App (e.g. frequency, duration) ;
    • specific location information and direction (we use GPS technology to determine your current location);
    • data about your driving behaviour (current speed, duration of journey, acceleration, braking and cornering);
    • data on mobile phone usage while driving (i.e. information about when you make and receive phone calls and send and receive text messages on your device). We do not have access to the content of phone calls, text messages or any other app on this phone. 

    Please note that the App only starts recording information when you are travelling at a minimum speed and will stop recording when your journey ends. Further, please note the following:

    • We do not record you 24/7
    • Location access is only used by The Floow to guarantee the core functionality of the RE_drive App by generating driver and journey scores
    • Location access by The Floow is thus, directly related to providing and improving the core features of the App 
    • Location data is not used for any type of advertising purposes.

    Further, note that the App collects data for all kinds of journeys independent of the mode of transportation. Meaning the App also collects data whilst you are not driving with a car but using a different mode of transportation such as train, bike, plane, boat or whilst walking. As said, the App starts recording all journeys automatically if and only if a minimum speed is detected and stops once the journey ends. The App discerns your movement and tags your journey with its anticipated mode of transportation, e.g. driver, train, bike, etc. You can change the mode of transportation within the RE_drive app within 72 hour after the trip was conducted if the anticipated mode of transportation was not correctly tagged. 

    All of your journey data will be collected and retained by the App, whether you are a driver or passenger. Passenger journeys, however, can be excluded from your diving scores by tagging your journey. 

    The data that is collected will be sent to our technology supplier’s server, that is to The Floow, and The Floow will use the information to provide you feedback on your driving style. This information will be used to build up a profile of how, where, and when your car is driven and the level of your mobile phone distraction during those journey times. This information will be combined to form a driving score based on your driving behaviour. 

    The Floow will also send a daily summary of your data to us. This includes, but is not limited to, your profile information, a daily list of journeys conducted together with the corresponding journey scores, as well as your latest driver score and subscores.

    What cookies are and how we use them: 

    Cookies are small data files which we place on your device. We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the App. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use the App and also helps us to improve the App. 

    On the one hand, we use cookies that are necessary for technical reasons when you visit our App and want to use the functions we offer. On the other hand, we use cookies in order to be able to make statistical evaluations of the reach of our App. 

    Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies, for example those for statistical analysis, remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. In detail, these are the following cookies.

    More information about our cookies is available on the registration screen.

    You can activate or deactivate optional cookies on the registration screen.

    For what purposes, and on what legal basis, will your data be processed?

The App addresses interested parties and potential customers. We are selling telematic services to primary insurance companies. We use the RE_drive App as a marketing tool.

    Munich Re Service GmbH will have access to and use your personal data for administrative purposes. This is to check if the app and registration is working properly and to provide you with our services. Additionally, we will use your personal data in order to administer our user data base 

    Furthermore, we do an analysis of the overall App usage, such as frequency, usage over time and duration. Additionally, we will use your contact and location data to create a user profile in order to better evaluate business opportunities and (potential) customers.

    The Floow:
    Our subprocessor The Floow will use the journey data form the RE_drive App for assessing your individual driving behaviour and to provide you with driving scores that are reflective of your driving behaviour. Additionally, our technology provider will use personal data for communications that relate to your App participation (such as the sending of a welcome email) 

    In detail The Floow will use your journey data for the purposes below:

    • Road and vehicle usage including for road safety issues, real time traffic flow, environmental impacts such as idle time at junctions, journey times, distances and speeds, and the analysis of junctions and the risk they represent;
    • Driving behaviour analysis and profiling including determining what constitutes safe and dangerous driving and the typical behaviours of various segments of the population;
    • Analysis of the causes of, and forces involved in, collisions and other road incidents; and,

    We process your personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all other applicable national laws.

    The data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (performance of a contract) insofar as the data processing is necessary to perform the End User Licence Agreement and to provide you with your driving score.

    The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) of the GDPR) insofar as we consolidate your contact and device data with the telematics data. That is both data sets will not be separated but processed together 

    The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) of the GDPR) with regard to the anonymisation of your data at the end of the storage period. We will use the anonymized data for further business purposes.

    Cookies:

We have a legitimate interest in making the App available on the App store . At the same time, this does not conflict with any interests of the user, as the user has an interest when visiting our App that the App delivers the desired information to him or her without technical hindrances. 

    Who receives your data and how is it being used?

    When you give us your information, it will be shared with our external technology provider The Floow as well as within Munich Re as outlined in the following. 

    External technology provider:

    Munich Re Service GmbH has engaged The Floow Limited, The Floow Campus, Wicker Lane, Sheffield, S3 8HQ, to perform the telematics services for this App (subprocessor). The Floow itself has engaged a hosting provider where your data will be stored (Amazon Web Services).

    How do we transmit data to countries outside Europe?

    Your data will generally not be transferred outside Europe. All service providers mentioned above are located in EU/EWR or in a country which the European Commission has assessed an adequate level of data protection.

    If we need to transfer personal data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or allow access from outside of the EEA, e.g. in connection with maintenance and assistance services, we will do so only if the European Commission has confirmed that the respective country’s level of data protection is sufficient, or if data protection is otherwise sufficiently guaranteed (for example, through binding, in-house data protection provisions, or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses).

    How long do we store your data?

    The data we collect will be stored and kept for as long as your App remains active. If the App was not active and / or did not collect data for six (6) months, The Floow counts you as an inactive user and your data will be deleted or anonymized without undue delay from The Floow's systems. We continually review the personal data delivered from The Floow to us on a monthly basis and inform The Floow about required deletion. On Munich Re's side, from the summarized data we receive daily from the Floow we delete or anonymize personal data of all incoming files on a daily basis. After we deleted or anonymized your personal data, it is not possible for us to link your journeys with your personal data.
