Use of the telematics device

It is very important that you read this section so that you understand how we and our technology and analytics suppliers will collect and use the data gathered by the telematics device.

If you no longer have your car which has a telematics device, you must ensure that you inform Churchill immediately and before the new keeper takes possession, in order to stop future collection of data. If this does not happen, you must inform the new keeper of the vehicle that a telematics device has been installed and that telematics data will still be collected. Please go to section ‘What we expect from you’ to find out how to remove the device.

We cannot accept liability for damage to your car caused by your installation of a self installed telematics device.

You should also read the “Your personal information” section in your policy booklet, which contains important information relating to the details that you provide to us. Your policy booklet and these Terms and Conditions will apply to the data that we will collect from you, and explain how we will use it.

What Data is captured by the telematics device?

Once the telematics device has been activated, it will record and analyse data about the driving behaviour of you and anyone who drives your car. We and our suppliers will collect, process and store this information securely, ensuring that it is protected in line with industry best practice and our legal and regulatory requirements.

The telematics device will capture and send your specific location, direction and current speed amongst other factors to the supplier’s server and we will use the information to understand road type, road speed and other conditions relating to your journey. This information will be used to build up a profile of how, where and when your car is driven. In addition to the above, the self-installed device will also collect vehicle diagnostics data.

How will we use the data collected from the telematics device?

We will use the data from the telematics device, for the purpose of assessing individuals’ driving behaviour and to provide insurance policies which are reflective of driving behaviour as well as other rating factors.

Your data may be used for the following purposes:

To help us to understand safe driving behaviours, which we will use to develop underwriting of our motor insurance policies and to inform our development of similar products, services and systems;
To help to determine or corroborate the circumstances of a claim, loss or theft;
To help prevent and detect fraud;
To tailor your premium at renewal.

When you give us your information, it may be shared within U K Insurance Limited, and suppliers.

We will only do this:

Where you have provided your agreement;
If we are permitted or required by law to disclose the information, such as to our regulators or if we are issued with a court order.

We may transfer rights and obligations under this agreement. We may share anonymous data received from telematics devices with the general public and other third parties. If we choose to do this, we will not release any information which identifies you.

How will our suppliers use telematics data?

The information collected by the telematics device will also be used by our analytics suppliers for research and analytical purposes both during the active period of the telematics device, and after your use of the telematics device has ceased. Any information that our analytics supplier shares with third parties will be made anonymous and will not contain any of your personal information. This will prevent data or results being directly linked to you.

Our technology suppliers will use your personal data for the purpose of sending out the telematics device or installing the telematics device only.

Unless you stop using the telematics device, our analytics supplier will continue to use any ongoing data collected for the purposes below and you will be able to access your driving data for as long the telematics device is active.

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 UK population;
