Personal Information

We collect and use personal information about you so that we can provide you with access to MyAviva online, including via the MyAviva mobile application (the "MyAviva App") or the MyAviva online web-portal (the "MyAviva Portal") (together, we refer to these as "MyAviva"). MyAviva is where you can view and manage your policy documents in one place. This notice explains the most important aspects of how we use your information but you can get more information about the terms we use and view our full privacy policy at www.aviva.co.uk/privacypolicy or request a copy by writing to us at Aviva, Freepost, Mailing Exclusion Team, Unit 5, Wanlip Road Ind Est, Syston, Leicester, LE7 1PD

The data controller responsible for this personal information is Aviva Insurance Limited.

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.
