Personal information we collect and how we use it
We will use personal information collected from you as part of the registration process:-
- to provide you with access to MyAviva
- for commercial reasons but never at the expense of your privacy rights
The personal information we collect and use will include name, date of birth, email address and post code. We need this information to: verify your identity and to prevent incidences of fraud and financial crime in accordance with our legal duty.
In-app tracking permissions and location data
MyDrive is a feature of the MyAviva App, which monitors and scores how you drive. If you use MyDrive, as part of the activation process you'll need to enable several in-app tracking permissions so MyDrive can record your journeys and monitor your driving behaviours.
These permissions may be phrased differently depending on the type of device you are using. Some devices call these permissions "Location Services" and "Motion and Fitness", whereas other devices call these permissions "Location Services" and "Activity Recognition". In some cases, you will also have to enable "Phone Activity" (so that we can detect distracted driving events) and switch off "Battery Optimisation" (so MyDrive can run in the background to detect journeys).
For MyDrive to work properly, these permissions must always be on. If you disable any of these permissions, we'll notify you with in-app alerts. Whilst these permissions must be enabled at all times, we'll only record information about your location, motion and phone activity when MyDrive believes you're driving.
For information on what data is collected using MyDrive and how it will be used, please see the Aviva MyDrive Privacy Policy.
