- able to enroll without sharing info for non-UBIP purposes.
- able to opt-in to use of personal info for non-UBIP purposes (rather than opt-out)
- insurers should facilitate use of personal UBIP data to transfer to another insurer’s UBIP.
- driver and insurer obligations (consent form); driver = install and use device; Insurer = use info only to calc discount
- promotional materials clear, fair and not misleading
-

- How is info used,
- Who may have access,
- When could info be disclosed to others
- Customer rights wrt. info
-
Complaints, Inquiries and Customer Support

-
UBIP Costs and the Impact on Insurer Expenses
- To encourage participation, insurers should cover all enrollment costs incl
- device installation
- ongoing operation / maintenance
- May treat start-up as part of R&D and not allocate, but over time ongoing op costs will need to be allocated to p.h.
-
Reasonability of UBIP assumptions and the provision of adequate support
- Which consumer behaviours are measured (acceleration),
- How is this data measured (frequency) and normalized (averaged)
- Loss data that supports rating.
