3. The purpose of collecting 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:

1. The registration of the Users, the assignment of their data in the O7PLATFORM, the calculation of the Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data and the calculation of the Reward Data and to ensure the proper functioning of the Application and O7PLATFORM for the Users.
2. To provide technical support to the Users, if and when this is requested.
3. To perform statistical analysis and to optimize the models and algorithms (indicatively the driving behaviour models and the machine learning algorithms) in the O7PLATFORM, also improving the provided services to the Users.

Specifically, regarding data which pertain to the longitude and latitude of the GPS, these are stored and kept in O7PLATFORM mainly for the following purposes:

1. The representation of each Trip and the risk related driving events (indicatively harsh brakes, harsh accelerations, mobile phone use while driving, speed limit violations) on a map for each Trip. This is a coaching feature that helps the Users to identify their weak points and improve their driving behaviour.
2. The visualization of road sections with frequent 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.
3. 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.
4. The determination of the status of the User (driver of the vehicle or passenger in any other vehicle) per Trip.
5. 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 in this Personal Data Privacy Policy.

4. Extraction of “Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data” and “Reward Data”

The Driving Behaviour and Vehicle Use Data is the data of the User derived from the Primary Data via processing in the O7PLATFORM and/or the Application using advanced mathematical algorithms and/or machine learning algorithms, as well as advanced driving behaviour models.
