smartphone operating system (Apple: iOS, Google: Android).
The Application may collect
and assess Primary Data related with driving activity (including Location data)
to enable the automatic Trip recording even when the Application is closed or
not in use. Specifically,
the Application is activated by data received from the Android and iOS
operating systems to verify if the User is in a driving status. This process is
called “Driving Detection”. If the Application verifies that the User is in
driving status, then the recording of Primary Data begins. Otherwise, data
collection is interrupted, until the next time that the Application is
activated. In case that the User is not in a driving status the data collected
during “Driving Detection” is not sent to the O7PLATFORM and is finally deleted
from the smartphone device. Only
the Primary Data that is recorded during a Trip is sent to the O7PLATFORM.

3. The purposes of
collecting, storing and processing of Your data in the O7PLATFORM.
The purposes of
collecting and processing of Your data (including the Primary Data and the data
that is sent by the Company to OSeven for each User that do not include any
personal data) in the O7PLATFORM are the following:
·
The registration and sign in of the Users in the
Application, the assignment of their data in the O7PLATFORM, the calculation of
the Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data and the calculation of the Reward

risky driving behaviours for each User. This is a coaching feature that helps
the Users to focus on areas that they have the highest frequency of risky
driving behaviours.
·
Mapping the risk of different sections of the road
network as a whole and for different types of risk considering data from all
the Users.
·
The determination of the status of the User (driver
of the vehicle or passenger in any other vehicle) per Trip.
·
The development, evaluation and optimization of the
map matching algorithms, and algorithms for the calculation of speed, course
and travelled distance.
OSeven shall receive and
retain the data of the Trips that the Users were not the driver of the vehicle
for the following purposes: (i) transparency to the Users, (ii) to provide to
the Users the option to access and modify their data and (iii) optimization of
the reliability of the results provided to the Users.
Following the assessment
of the above, the “Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data” and “Reward Data”
which correspond to Your actual driving behaviour are calculated by OSeven and
then the score is extracted, as described herein the Personal Data Privacy
Policy.
4. Extraction of
“Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data” and “Reward Data”
