Ökuvísir Terms and Conditions

Ökuvísir is an insurance program in vehicle insurance where policyholders at Vátryggingafélag Íslands hf., reg. no. 690689-2009, Ármúli 3, 108 Reykjavik, tel. +354 560 5000 (hereinafter "VIS") get access to a custom app (hereinafter the "app") and a telematics device (hereinafter the "telematics device") which incentivise them to drive well, giving policyholders the opportunity to influence the premiums they pay for compulsory vehicle insurance and comprehensive vehicle insurance (hereinafter the "insurance"; the insurance program is hereinafter referred to as "Ökuvísir"). The goal of Ökuvísir is to increase traffic safety and reduce traffic accidents.

Through the app and the telematics device, VIS will collect various information about the driving behaviour of the policyholder and other users of the insured vehicle (hereinafter the "vehicle") and calculate the driving rating according to how safe their driving is. The driving rating of the vehicle will affect the price paid for vehicle insurance. The policyholder and/or other users of the vehicle therefore influence how much the policyholder pays for the insurance depending on how safely the vehicle is driven and the kilometres driven. In the app, the policyholder and/or other users have access to information about their driving behaviour, their journeys on a map, tips on how they can improve their driving and incentives to drive well, among other things. The policyholder and/or other users can also submit comments and objections regarding the assessment of their driving, which VIS will process and respond to.

  1. Terms and conditions

    1.1. Ökuvísir consists of an app that the policyholder needs to install in his/her smart device, a telematics device that the policyholder needs to install in the insured vehicle, and the vehicle insurance of the insured vehicle. The app and the telematics device are subject to these terms and conditions, which the policyholder and/or other users agree to when logging in and using the app.

    1.2. The Ökuvísir app can be tried for 14 days free of charge before a decision is made to purchase vehicle insurance through the app.

    1.3. Policyholders who choose to insure their vehicle through Ökuvísir get access to and use of the app and the telematics device free of charge for themselves and other users of the vehicle.

    1.4. A prerequisite for being able to conclude and perform an agreement for Ökuvísir is that decisions on premiums and the issuance of insurance are made through automatic decision-making, including with the creation of a personal profile. Automatic decision-making on the issuance of insurance is based on information on possible defaults and disputes regarding insurance claims against VIS, and automatic decision-making on prices is based on the base premium and variable factors that can reduce the base premium. Variable factors are determined by information on the driving rating and the kilometres driven over a period of one month. Policyholders can always request further information about the results of the automatic decision-making, object to it and have an employee of VIS review or re-evaluate it by contacting us at vis@vis.is or by calling 560 5000.

    1.5. The Company's insurance terms for compulsory vehicle insurance and comprehensive vehicle insurance as current at any given time apply to Ökuvísir and are considered part of these terms and conditions. Ökuvísir is also subject to the Ökuvísir Privacy Policy, the Company's common terms and its general terms and conditions, which can be found on the VIS website, www.vis.is, together with the terms of the insurance itself.
  2. Information about the service provider

    2.1. Ökuvísir is an insurance program offered by VIS and the telematics device and the app are the property of VIS. VIS operates in accordance with Act No. 100/2016 on Insurance Activities, and is authorised and regulated by the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority in accordance with Act No. 87/1998 on Official Supervision of Financial Activities.
  3. Activation and identification

    3.1. Users log in to the app using electronic ID. Log-ins are valid for 30 days. If users log out of the app, they need to log in again in the same way.
  4. Security

    4.1. Information about the journeys of the policyholder and/or other users of the insured vehicle is stored in the smart devices of the policyholder and those users who have access to the app, in the internal systems of VIS and with Cambridge Mobile Telematics (hereinafter "CMT" or the "service provider"), a service provider of VIS. CMT provides services in the field of telecommunications and information technology and measurements in the app and the telematics device are based on CMT's technical solution. CMT receives and stores measurements from the policyholder's phone and the telematics device using pseudonymisation and calculates the driving rating.

    4.2. Information stored in a smart device is protected by the security measures available on that device. VIS stores information on the driving rating, kilometres driven and raw data. All raw data is encrypted and stored by means of pseudonymisation in the internal systems of VIS. Data stored in the service provider's internal systems and all communications between the internal systems and mobile phones are also encrypted and stored by means of pseudonymisation.

    4.3. In order to be able to provide the services available in Ökuvísir, it is necessary to process various types of personal data. Further information on the handling, storage and processing of personal data and rights under the Icelandic Data Protection Act, e.g. the right to access such data, can be found in the Ökuvísir Privacy Policy.
