OSCAR Go Privacy Policy
Location and Journey Data
Where you use the OSCAR Go mobile application and choose to use the Journey Log functionality, we collect and process location and journey information from your mobile device.
Information we collect
During an active Journey Log journey, OSCAR Go may collect:
- your device location, including precise location where permitted;
- location points forming the route travelled;
- journey start and end information;
- journey distance;
- information used to determine the accuracy of the recorded journey; and
- information associated with the journey for business mileage and fleet administration purposes.
Background location
When a Journey Log journey is active, OSCAR Go may continue to access and collect your location while the application is running in the background. This is necessary to record the journey accurately if you use other applications or your device screen is turned off during the journey.
OSCAR Go does not continuously track your location independently of the Journey Log feature.
Location collection stops when:
- you select Stop, which ends the journey and location tracking;
- you select Pause, which suspends location collection while keeping the journey available for you to resume; or
- OSCAR Go is closed by removing the application from your device’s recent applications, which stops the location tracking service.
Location tracking will recommence only where the Journey Log functionality is subsequently resumed or a new journey is started, subject to the location permissions you have granted to OSCAR Go.
Why we use this information
Location and journey information is used to:
- provide the OSCAR Go Journey Log service;
- calculate journey distances;
- enable the recording and classification of business mileage;
- support mileage reimbursement and administration where applicable;
- provide fleet and mileage reporting;
- support our customer’s management of its vehicle fleet; and
- maintain the accuracy and integrity of journey records.
We do not use Journey Log location information for advertising or unrelated marketing purposes.
How your information is shared
Journey and mileage information is transmitted to and processed by IFM as part of the OSCAR fleet management service.
Relevant journey and mileage information may also be made available to the organisation responsible for your vehicle or fleet, such as your employer, fleet operator or authorised fleet administrator, where this is necessary for fleet management, business mileage administration, reporting or related purposes.
We do not sell your location data.
Your control over location tracking
You remain in control of Journey Log tracking. You can stop or pause an active journey from within OSCAR Go and can control the application’s location permissions through your mobile device settings.
Restricting or withdrawing location permission may prevent Journey Log from operating correctly.
Data security and retention
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect location and journey information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
Journey and location information is retained only for as long as is necessary for the fleet management, mileage administration, contractual, regulatory and legal purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with our data retention requirements.
Further information about your data protection rights, how we protect personal information and how to contact us is provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
