We are Trigen Limited, trading as RoadHow. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This notice sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect will be processed by us. Please read this privacy notice carefully to understand our views and practices and your rights regarding your personal data. By visiting www.roadhow.co.uk the RoadHow App, or RoadHow Rewards (“our site”), by using our services, or by otherwise providing us with your personal information, it will be processed as described in this notice.

What information do we collect from you?

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.

We will collect and process the following data about you:

  • Information you give us through using our site or RoadHow App. This is information about you that you give us by filling in forms on our site (for example, during the RoadHow App registration process or the RoadHow Premium sign-up process) or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. The information you give us may include your name, address, email address and phone number, financial information (such as payment card details), age, contact list information, vehicle data, previous road traffic convictions (including speeding offences), a scanned copy of your driving licence, and information relating to your driving ability.

    This also includes any personal data which you choose to post via our social network or forum and this personal data will be visible to other users of the RoadHow App, so please be careful before you decide to post any of your or a third-party’s personal data and do not ever post any sensitive or potentially harmful personal data.

  • Information we automatically collect from your use of our site or RoadHow App. With regard to each of your visits to our site or RoadHow App we will automatically collect the following information:

    • technical information, such as the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet, the whereabouts from which you connected to our service, your internet service provider (ISP), and what type of device you are using to access our service;

    • location data through your use of the RoadHow App (this can be turned off at any time in the RoadHow App).

  • Information we collect throughout our relationship. This is information such as facial images and video captured by our facial recognition software, which operates via your webcam or phone camera, when you undertake our online training courses (RoadHow Course/s), and data taken from RoadHow Course results relating to where you excel or need improvement in terms of driving ability (Driver Profile). Your Driver Profile is a form of profiling and will be calculated using an algorithm and will be based on your previous RoadHow Course results. If you are a RoadHow Premium user, you will be able to see your Driver Profile. If you disagree with any aspect of your Driver Profile, please let us know using the details provided under the ‘Contact Us’ section. Your Driver Profile will be made up of the following real-time cumulative condensed scores:

    • RoadRating - representing your collated scores across all RoadHow Courses taken.

    • Willingness to Learn - representing your willingness to learn from any mistakes you have made and how often you are prepared to spend time improving your knowledge.

    • Strengths and Weaknesses - individual scores representing your collated strengths and weaknesses for each RoadHow Course taken.

    • Manipulation Index - representing your attempts – if any – to try to manipulate the RoadHow Courses, RoadHow App, or our site to dishonestly improve your Driver Profile (this measure is to identify attempted fraud and cheating).

      Please note that RoadHow will never make fully automated decisions based on your Driver Profile. However, if you are a RoadHow Premium user there will be circumstances where this data is shared with your car insurance provider (Insurer) or another third-party insurer (please see ‘Why do we collect this information’ for details on when this might happen), your Insurer or another third-party insurer may use it to make automated decisions that affect you (for example, when deciding whether to offer you a contract of insurance or a particular incentive). Please refer to your Insurer’s, or relevant third-party insurer’s, privacy notice for further information on this.

  • Information we collect when you call us. If you call us, we will automatically collect the phone number used to call us.

  • Information we receive from other sources. RoadHow allows you to sign up and log in to the RoadHow App using accounts you create with third-party products and services, such as Facebook, Google, or Apple (collectively, “Third-Party Accounts”). If you access the Services with Third-Party Accounts we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, profile information and preferences. This information is collected by the Third-Party Account provider and is provided to RoadHow under their privacy policies. You can generally control the information that we receive from these sources using the privacy controls in your Third-Party Account.

  • Providing us with your details online. This is information with which you may choose to provide us, using the www.roadhow.co.uk/user-profile/edit page on our site or the equivalent page in the RoadHow App. It includes your name, address, telephone number, email address and preferences for receiving emails from us. Please let us know if any of this information changes so we can keep our records up to date.

Why do we collect this information?

We process your personal information for the following reasons:

    • Pursuant to a contract in order to:

      • process information at your request to take steps to enter into a contract;

      • provide you with our services, which include providing the RoadHow Courses, developing your Driver Profile and, in the case of RoadHow Premium users only, sharing information (such as your RoadHow Course results and your Driver Profile) with your Insurer pursuant to a contract of insurance that you have with RoadHow or your Insurer, or are being offered by your Insurer. For example, your contract of insurance may require you to undertake RoadHow Courses to enable your Insurer to evaluate your driving performance and offer you incentives accordingly;

      • Process payments;

      • maintain business and service continuity;

      • send service communications so that you receive a full and functional service and so we can perform our obligations to you. These may be sent by email or push notifications via the RoadHow App. These will include notifications about changes to our service and reminders to complete RoadHow Courses in order to maximise incentives offered by your Insurer. These service communications will not constitute marketing and we will not ask for your consent for these communications.

        Failure to provide certain personal data to us may result in us not being able to carry out the actions referred to above or your Insurer not being able to offer you certain contractual benefits related to RoadHow.

    • On the basis of your consent:

      • where we rely on your consent for processing, this will always be brought to your attention when the information is collected from you and you will have the option to withhold your consent;

      • you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. See the ‘What are your rights?’ section below for more information.

      • From time to time RoadHow will market its services, and the services of carefully chosen RoadHow Partners, to you on the basis of your consent as follows:

        • we will contact you with direct electronic marketing communications (for example, emails or RoadHow App push notifications) that advertise RoadHow’s services and other similar services unless you choose to opt out (which you can do at any time via the RoadHow App or our site);

        • we will only contact you with direct electronic marketing communications that advertise the goods and services of our carefully chosen RoadHow Partners if you have explicitly consented to receive those communications from those specific third parties. These communications will always be relevant to RoadHow and your driving experience and they will always be sent by us - the RoadHow Partners will not have access to your personal data for these purposes.

        Please note that the our site may also advertise the goods and services of our carefully chosen RoadHow Partners via ‘in-site marketing’ (for example, in-app banners). This marketing will not be targeted to you and will not be based on your consent.

    • In our legitimate interests of providing the best service and improving and growing our business, we will process information in order to:

      • provide the RoadHow App social network and forum;

      • provide you with a personalised service;

      • improve our products and services;

      • keep the RoadHow App, our site and systems safe and secure;

      • protect against fraudulent use of your subscription account;

      • understand our customer base and purchasing trends;

      • defend against or exercise legal claims and investigate complaints; and

      • understand the effectiveness of our marketing.

We will carry out analytics to improve our services as set out above.

If you are a RoadHow Premium user, we may also share your Driver Profile with third-party car insurers to enable them to better forecast their future liability and to price their insurance products to you more accurately and competitively. For RoadHow Premium users, it means that insurance policies are priced more fairly, with the lowest-risk individuals paying less for their insurance. This sharing will take place if a third-party insurer is preparing a quotation.

You have the right to object to processing carried out for our legitimate interests. See the ‘What are your rights?’ section below for more information.

  • To comply with legal requirements relating to:

    • the provision of services;

    • data protection;

    • health and safety;

    • anti-money laundering;

    • fraud investigations;

    • assisting law enforcement; and

    • any other legal obligations placed on us from time to time.

How long do we keep hold of your information?

We will keep information about you for a maximum of 6 years after the end of our relationship with you unless obligations to our regulators require otherwise or we are required to remove such data from our records.
