Privacy Policy

This privacy notice explains how Sensata Technologies, Inc. and its group companies (“Sensata Group”) use personal data generated by its Sensata INSIGHTS business.

Sensata INSIGHTS provides technology and data to help companies maximize the ‘Internet of Things’ ecosystem with end-to-end solutions that span video and vehicle telematics, connected asset management devices and software platforms for applying analytics and machine learning.

Data generated by in-vehicle and video telematics services

Some of our technology services generate information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal data”), for example, when we provide vehicle telematics services to commercial fleet managers. In general, where this personal data is generated as part of a service we provide, we do not make any decisions about how this personal data is used. That is determined by our customers, and we act entirely under their instructions. If you work for an organisation that uses Sensata INSIGHTS and want to know more about any personal data it generates about you, the best place to start is by asking your organisation for more information.

The one exception to this is that we sometimes use data generated by our customers’ use of Sensata INSIGHTS (“Insights Data”) for product improvement and development, and that information may include personal data. This notice explains how we use personal data in these circumstances. We only do this where we have permission from our customers to use Insights Data for these purposes.

Data generated by portal users

Sensata manages access to and use of the Sensata INSIGHTS portal (the “Application”) to view data generated by our in-vehicle and video telematics services. Sensata is the data controller of any personal data which arises out of use of the Application (“Application Data”).

What personal data do we process?

Our in-vehicle and video telematics services may collect the following types of information, which in some cases may be linked directly or indirectly to individuals:

• Driver identifiers such as vehicle number plate and driver name
• Device information and identifiers, e.g., IP address, cookie IDs, device type, advertising and app identifiers
• User login details, e.g., name, email, contact number, organisation details
• VIN and vehicle serial number
• Technology information, e.g., username, password, browsing activity, advertisements viewed, search terms, content viewed, logs
• Video footage of outside and inside vehicle data
• GPS location data
• Vehicle diagnostic data
• Telemetry, e.g., speed, direction of travel, location or event snapshot/photo
• Driver facial reactions and movements
• If any passengers are present, then such passenger video

Data generated by use of the Application

If you wish to use the Application, we will ask for your business contact details, including name, organisation and email address. We use this personal data to issue and manage access credentials.

When you use the Application, we may collect, use and store information about your device and use of the Application, such as your user ID, IP address, how often you access the application, and the actions you take in the Application.

What are the sources of personal data?

We collect personal data from the in-vehicle and video telematics services provided to our customers, where we have the permission of our customers to do this.

We also collect information from the use of the Application by our customers.

What do we use personal data for?

We use Insights Data to help improve our services, for example, by allowing our artificial intelligence systems to get better at identifying certain types of safety events, or to develop new products and services. It’s not always possible, but where we can, we remove direct identifiers which make it possible to link data to individual drivers. We never use Insights Data to make decisions about you as an identifiable individual — we’re only interested in the information in the context of our products/in what the information tells us about our products.

We use Application Data to manage user credentials and access to the Application, to maintain security logs, and to understand how to make the Insights portal easier to use and navigate and improve.

For EU users

Our lawful basis for using INSIGHTS data is our legitimate interest in improving and developing our products and services.

Data transfers
