Allianz p.l.c. is committed to protecting your privacy.

Allianz p.l.c. is referred to in this document as “Allianz”, “we”, and “us” or “our”. Allianz is the Data Controller for Data Protection purposes, with the individual Allianz customer/ policy holder being the Data Subject. 

This Fair Processing Notice is supplemental to the Fair Processing Notice provided to you in our Terms and Conditions and Policy documents. It gives you more detailed information about how we handle, manage and respect any personal information that we process in the context of our Allianz Family Car offer initiative (“Personal data”). 

1. What personal data do we collect?

In the context of the Allianz Family Car offer initiative we collect the following data:

  • Full Name
  • Location/Tracking Data  
  • Email Address 

2. How we collect your personal information

We collect the data directly from you, from the policyholder and from the Allianz Safe Driver app. 

End user registers their personal data on the Allianz Safe Driver app and this will generate a user account linked to the specific email address provided.

What is the Safe Driver App?

The Safe Driver App is a free to download App which is intended to record, monitor, collect and track Data about Your driving behaviour. The information collected by the Safe Driver App about Your driving behaviour will be used to calculate Your Driving Score whilst Your Allianz insurance cover is in force. The information collected by the Safe Driver App includes Data, along with braking and acceleration patterns, speed, distance, GPS co-ordinates, route travelled and time of day. 

The app monitors driving behaviour and scores based on four driving factors:

  • Braking: frequent harsh braking increases the risk of an accident. Avoid harsh braking by driving with anticipation. Your braking style contributes 35% to your overall driving score.
  • Acceleration: avoid harsh acceleration by driving with anticipation. Your acceleration style contributes 25% to your overall driving score.
  • Speeding: Speeding is a common cause of accidents. Exceeding the speed limit leads to a negative rating. Respecting speed limits contributes 15% to your overall driving score.
  • When and where you drive: Driving in heavy traffic or on rough roads often results in harsh braking. Day, time and type of road contribute 25% to your overall driving score.

Telematics Platform 

The Allianz Telematics Platform (ATP) communicates with the app installed in end user's telephone receiving and processing the registered data. 

Data- As mentioned, the data is collected from your Mobile Device by the Safe Driver App and is related to your driving behaviour. This includes, but is not limited to time, date, device model, Operating System version, battery level, GPS co-ordinates, gyroscope, distance travelled and accelerometer information.

Driving Score – A score ranging from 1-100 (one to one hundred) is calculated based on the analysis of your driving behaviour as recorded by the Safe Driver App using an algorithm. The overall Driving score is built up over time to provide a picture of your driving behaviour. Individual Identifiers that correlate data and drivers, including information on location, speed or driving events, may thus be personal data. This has implications for operators such as Allianz, as individuals have extended rights over their personal data. 

3. Lawful Basis for Processing
