    Quick Verdict

    Best for: Aviva customers comfortable with driving telemetry

    Not For: You prefer not to share driving behaviour data

    What It Means For You

    Driving behaviour, trips, and diagnostic data are collected and shared with telematics and analytics services. Firebase and Mapbox receive usage and location telemetry. User data is used to assess how they drive, which may affect their insurance.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.

    Positive Security Features

    • No specific positive security practices were identified in this version of the app.

    Areas for Improvement

    • The app could be clearer about how driving behaviour is scored and how those scores affect insurance premiums.
    • Some data is stored on the device in a way that other apps could potentially read if the device is not adequately protected.
    • Providing clearer in-app controls, including the ability to review or request deletion of driving history, would give users greater confidence in managing their data.
