3.3 When using our Services

3.3.1 Roles and responsibilities

Veturilo is the “Data Processor” for all personal data you provide to us, when using our Services, or that the Veturilo App collects for the provision of the Services. This means that these personal data is collected on the Customer’s/Account Owner’s behalf for his/her own purposes, that Customer/Account Owner is solely responsible for the legality of these purposes and the necessity of the processing to serve these purposes, and that the Customer/Account Owner is the Data Controller of personal data processed, while using the Services. Therefore the Customer/Account Owner is responsible to satisfy the requests of the data subjects, whose personal data is processed through the Veturilo App, for example the personal data of the driver. Additionally the Customer/Account Owner is responsible to inform the drivers (and any other person whose personal data is processed by usage of the Veturilo App) about the scope, the purpose, the duration and the means of the processing, and to acquire the consent of the data subjects (drivers/employees etc.) whose personal data is being processed through the Veturilo App. Veturilo executes a Data Processing Addendum with the Customer/Account Owner as an integral part of the Subscription Services Agreement, whereby also the security measures implemented by Veturilo and Veturilo App are described.

Veturilo may also use traffic and behavioral data in aggregated and anonymous form collected by the Veturilo App to improve the Services.

Attention: If the Customer/Account Owner is an employer, then the employees must be aware that the information Veturilo App collects about them, the vehicle, and their driving behavior will be available to their employer, including their vehicle location and its use and manner of operation (including but not limited to trip distances, acceleration, deceleration, turning, speed and revolutions per minute).

If Customer has allowed the use of the Services by a Customer ‘s employee, contractor, agent or any other individual or affiliate legal entity and affiliates’ employees, contractors, agents or other individuals by generating new user’s accounts, then, before signing in to their new account, Users of the Veturilo App will have to acknowledge that they have read and understood the Privacy Policy of the Veturilo App. However, Customer remains fully responsible to inform the Users about the scope, the purposes, the duration and the means of the processing through the Veturilo App.

3.3.2 Types of personal data processed

We collect the type of your vehicle and the driver’s name for the operation of the Services. Optionally, you may also provide us with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Once you have downloaded the Veturilo App and you have installed the OBD II device provided by us by plugging it into your vehicle’s OBD II port, the OBD II device collects data from your vehicle’s brain-box (ECU) and sends it to the cloud via a SIM card. Data — such as vehicle speed, fuel levels, RPM, battery level, trip distance, and much more — are sent to the cloud, namely to our third party cloud provider, at regular intervals. The OBD II device collects information about your vehicle’s use, operation, location, performance, speed (for calculating miles driven and for providing driving tips), braking and other driving behavior information (also for driving tips), diagnostic codes, and maintenance status. Location status is reported periodically, every 30 seconds. In this way Customer/Account Owner knows the exact spot of the vehicles, whether they are travelling or are parked. Alerts are reported in real time. Save snapshots of their current status and share their location. Customer/Account Owner can track the mileage, complete with log history, get historical data per trip with behavioral indicators and malfunction alerts, and see the routes on the map.

Veturilo App produces alerts and notifications, in real time, concerning

  • driving behaviors such as hard braking, fast accelerations, sharp turns, speed or RPM
  • for crucial and minor events related to the vehicle’s status such as battery power, fuel levels and more,
  • for unexpected external events
  • for crucial malfunctions concerning your vehicles (DTC). Veturilo App sends an alert whenever a dashboard indicator light turns on, in order for you or your mechanic to assess the problem.
  • towing and OBD removal alerts.

Use the Business trip indicator for deductible expenses

We keep the above personal data for the duration of the Subscription Services Agreement. In the meantime you may delete any personal data stored in the Veturilo App by clicking the available deletion buttons in the dashboard of the Veturilo App. After termination of the agreement, you may choose to either have the data stored in the Account deleted or returned to you.

4. Security

Either we collect personal data as Data Controllers or as Data Processors, we take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the integrity, accessibility and confidentiality of personal data. These measures are physical and environmental security measures, as well as IT security measures, including but not limited to the use of updated anti-virus and firewalls, safe protocols, user authentication processes, encryption, data separation, vulnerability and penetration tests etc. We also have in place specific procedures for incident management and a Data Breach Policy.

5. Sharing your Data – International Data Transfer
