What information does Surance.Io CyberMan collect?

Your phone number - When you first download Surance.Io CyberMan we ask you to provide your phone number as to verify. You, as the owner of the phone number is sent a time-sensitive numerical code via an SMS message which you then type back into the application to prove your identity.

As such, the provision of this information is a necessary condition of you accessing the functionality of Surance.Io CyberMan. If you choose to use Surance.Io CyberMan or participate in any activity through Surance.Io CyberMan, then we will also use this information to effect that purchase. In that event, this information will be used for the insurance-related purposes as shown in our standard Privacy Statement.

2. What information does Surance.Io CyberMan collect and access when it is in use and why?

When you sign up for Surance.io CyberMan, it is clearly indicated that Surance.io CyberMan requires access to certain information. The type of information, the reasons why Surance.io CyberMan requires access to them and the time at which the information is accessed are set out below:

Device Information – Surance.io CyberMan functions by collecting precise location data about your trip when you drive. This is to enable Surance.io CyberMan to detect your acceleration, cornering, speed, braking  and other measurements which make for safe driving. It is, therefore, necessary for permission to be given through the permission system of your mobile operating system for Surance.io CyberMan to be used for its main purpose of assessing your performance.

Network/Wifi states – Surance.io  CyberMan collects the location information in real-time whilst you are connected via your mobile operator’s network or Wifi. However, if that connection is interrupted, the information is stored locally in your mobile phone until a connection is available. It is, therefore, necessary for permission to be given for Surance.io CyberMan to access your home network or Wifi information through your mobile operating system so that Surance.io CyberMan can assess your device(s) score.

 

 

Important information about platform permissions

Most mobile platforms have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your permission and platforms provide different permission systems for gaining your consent. The iOS platform alerts you the first time Surance.io CyberMan wants access to a particular function (usually the first time you use that function) and asks you to give permission for that function to be used at that point. Android devices will notify you of all the permissions Surance.io CyberMan may need for all functions when you first register for the app and your use of the app constitutes your consent. The above explanations, we hope, gives you full details of the functionalities which Surance.io CyberMan needs access to, why and when it will use them.

 

 

3. Which third parties we may transfer your data to?

Information collected through Surance.io CyberMan is stored on cloud servers run by a third party cloud hosting provider. The information is also downloaded to SURANCE.IO which utilizes shared service hubs run by SURANCE.IO affiliate or third party cloud hosting companies for data storage and management. On-going application support for Surance.io CyberMan is provided by a third-party software service provider with whom surance.io contracts, who in providing such support requires access to the data collected through Surance.io CyberMan.

For the above third parties to have the data access required, data collected through Surance.io CyberMan is transferred to places outside of (where the cloud data centres and Surance.io data centres are based and where the service providers are based).
