Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2022

Automile Inc and affiliates (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operate websites, including without limitation www.automile.com, www.automile.se and any related URLs, mobile or localized versions and related domains/sub-domains ("Sites") and provide a Service (“Service”) that requires us to collect some information from our users. This document outlines how we process your personal information when you for example visit our Sites, use the Service, or ask us for help through support request. It further explains the measures we take to protect our users’ data privacy. If you have any concerns about providing your data to us, or how we process it according to this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Sites or our Service.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy only concerns the processing of personal information for which Automile is the data controller, i.e. where we have decided the means and purposes of the processing of personal information. Our processing of personal information as a data processor is not covered. For more information about our responsibilities and undertakings in relation thereto, please refer to our Terms of Use.

Keeping Your Data Secure

Protecting your data starts with our Automile hardware devices (“Hardware”). When data is transmitted from the Hardware to our cloud service we use best-in-class 256-bit wireless encryption. All data collected by our Hardware is securely hosted on our servers, but is owned by you. You can access this data through our web interface, smartphone apps and developer API. If at any point you decide to stop using Automile, simply contact us and we will permanently delete your data from our servers.

Automile will not sell, rent, or lease any personal data that could identify a specific individual to any third party. We may from time to time create and/or use aggregated or statistical anonymous data internally to improve or propose new features to our service. This data will never contain any information that could personally identify any of our users, and any use will meet both data privacy laws and our own Terms of Use.

What Data Does Automile Collect and for What Use, and What is the Legal Basis for it?

Automile collects data about you and your vehicle to provide our Service through our Hardware and using our Apps. This includes vehicle data gathered with our Hardware, personal information you provide as a user of our web interface or mobile applications, or when you send us an e-mail or submit a job application, information gathered while visiting our Sites, and personal information required for the processing of payments.

We will handle your personal information in order to comply with the contractual obligations we have under our agreement with you. We may also rely on our legitimate interest to handle your personal information (such as for administrative purposes, service improvement or to maintain a high level of security) or we will handle it as required by law.

Vehicle Data

Once connected to your vehicle, our device collects information about your vehicle, which is securely transmitted to our cloud service. Information collected by the Automile Box includes fuel consumption, GPS location, vehicle diagnostic information, and triple axis motion detection. This information enables us to provide you with insights, as well as accurate and fully tax-compliant mileage logs.

Personal Information

We collect personal information on our web interface and mobile applications, when you visit our Sites or request our help, apply for a job or communicate with us via social media, like user names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and mailing addresses. We will only collect personal identification information from you if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will use this information to provide you with information, products and or Service that you request from us, to assess your eligibility for initial employment, or to carry out our obligations arising from any agreements entered into between us. This processing is necessary also to serve our legitimate interest. You may at any time decline to supply personal information, except that it may prevent you from engaging in certain features of our Service.

Automile takes comprehensive measures to ensure our platform, our customers, and their user data are safe from all cyber security threats. All communication through our web interface uses SSL/TLS for server authentication and data encryption. Even so, we cannot guarantee that a data breach will never occur. Any personally identifying information you elect to share on our web interface or in our mobile applications as a user will be at your own discretion.

How Long do We Keep the Data?

We maintain information about you for as long as we provide services to you, and as long it is required for us to perform any related business activities. After your information is no longer necessary for our business purposes, we will destroy the information unless we have agreed with you that we should keep the information, or a court or administrative order is made to preserve the information, or if it is otherwise stipulated by law.
