Snapshot® Privacy Statement

Snapshot allows you to get a personalized vehicle insurance rate based on how you drive. While we still take into account traditional factors in providing your quote or determining your rate, like the type of vehicle you drive and previous accidents or traffic violations, Snapshot also considers your actual driving behavior.

Participating in a Snapshot program is completely voluntary. Let us know if you have any questions or comments about Snapshot.

Data Sources

You can choose to provide data for the Snapshot program to us from one of these 3 sources:

  • Our Snapshot device, which plugs into your vehicle (the “Device”)
  • The Snapshot mobile app, which collects data using a smartphone application (the “App”) or
  • Other sources, such as technology built into or added to your vehicle, or a mobile app supplied by another party (collectively, “Third-Party Sources”)

In all cases, Snapshot data is encrypted when transmitted to us.

Please select the source that applies to you to learn more:

The Device

Device Data Received

The Snapshot device plugs into the Onboard Diagnostic port of your car and records vehicle speed and time of day, when the device is plugged in and unplugged from the vehicle, and the Vehicle Identification Number. It may also record G-force and vehicle location using GPS. Other information such as trip duration, miles driven, and rates of acceleration and braking is derived from the data provided.

How We Use the Device Data

Snapshot focuses on how safely, how much, and when you drive. We treat personally identifiable Snapshot data as Application Information under our Privacy Policy.

We use the data we receive to calculate your Snapshot score, which, along with other traditional rating factors, determines your insurance quote, the rate you will pay when your policy renews, or pricing for a future policy.

We may also use the data we receive for purposes such as:

  • Underwriting, including verification of information provided by you or with your consent
  • Rating, including verification of information provided by you or with your consent
  • Resolving insurance claims. This may include, without limitation, detecting whether an automobile incident or accident (“accident”) may have occurred and offering assistance to you at the scene, validating the circumstances of the accident, such as date and time of loss and crash location, making liability and coverage determinations, conducting investigations of policy and/or claims fraud and material misrepresentations, and using the data for any potential subrogation or litigation involving the claim
  • Research and development
  • Providing you with reports on your driving behavior

After driving data is sent to us from a Device, it is deleted from the Device.

We limit access to the data we receive and use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect it and your privacy.

If you are a Progressive policyholder, you'll be able to review reports on your driving habits produced from Snapshot data we receive through the Device by logging in to your policy on www.progressive.com, https://www.progressiveagent.com, or the Progressive app.

When We May Disclose the Device Data to Others

We may share personally identifiable Snapshot data with third parties to service your insurance policy, detect or prevent fraud, perform research, market our or our affiliates’ products and services to you, or as required or permitted by law. For example, we may disclose such data:

  • When we determine that we're legally required to provide the data, such as in response to a subpoena in a civil lawsuit or by police when investigating the cause of an accident
  • To a state department of insurance to support renewal rates
  • To service providers who are contractually required to maintain its confidentiality
  • To assist in resolving insurance claims, including sharing data in litigation or with other insurers for subrogation purposes involving the claim

You may limit some of the marketing of our or our affiliates’ products and services to you by calling us at 1-844-582-5040. Your choice will apply to all people listed on your policy.

We may share de-personalized Snapshot data more broadly. De-personalizing the data means that we remove personally identifiable information so that the data cannot be associated with a particular individual.

The App

App Data Received

The App records driving data, mobile phone information, and App analytics information.

  • Driving data includes information such as vehicle speed and location using GPS, time information, and data from the phone’s sensors such as magnetometer, gyroscope, barometer, proximity, and accelerometer. Other information, such as trip duration, and rates of acceleration and braking, phone usage, whether your phone use is hands-free, and trip classification, is derived from the speed, location, time, and sensor information. Because the App is not connected to your vehicle, it will collect the driving information of any vehicle you occupy, even as a passenger.
  • Mobile phone information includes Wi-Fi status, whether your screen is locked, whether you are calling or otherwise using your phone, motion activity or activity recognition, whether the phone is connected to a Bluetooth® device, date/time stamp, and operating system data available to the App. The App does not record the content of your communications, the identity of the person with whom you are communicating, or the app(s) you are using.
  • App analytics information includes how often you use the App, which mobile screens you have viewed in the App, which referring/exit pages you have entered and left in the App, aggregated App usage, App performance data, and other App activity.

How We Use App Data

Snapshot focuses on how safely, how much, and when you drive. Personally identifiable Snapshot data is treated as Application Information under our Privacy Policy.

We use the data we receive to calculate your Snapshot score, which, along with other traditional rating factors, determines your insurance quote, the rate you will pay when your policy renews, or pricing for a future policy.

We may also use the data we receive for purposes such as:

  • Underwriting, including verification of information provided by you or with your consent.
  • Rating, including verification of information provided by you or with your consent.

  • Research and development.
  • Providing you with reports on your driving behavior.

We limit access to the data we receive and use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect it and your privacy.

App analytics information is used to help us understand how you interact with the App, so that we can continue to improve the user experience.

If you are a Progressive policyholder, you'll be able to review reports on your driving habits produced from Snapshot data we receive through the App by logging in to your policy on www.progressive.com, https://www.progressiveagent.com, the Progressive app, or the App.

When We May Disclose App Data to Others

Data from Partners

We may work with third parties to install cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, software development kits (SDK), and other similar technologies within the App. The data collected through these technologies include your device time zone, device operating system, device model and carrier, screen size, processor cores, total and remaining disk space, device and advertising identifiers and device opt-out settings. We use the data collected through these technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

Some of these third parties may be able to associate the data collected through these technologies with other information they already have about you (ex. your interests, actions and connections) to provide ads or offers personalized for you. We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s ("DAA's") Mobile Environment principles. You may limit the extent to which third parties use data obtained through these technologies to provide you personalized ads or offers by downloading the DAA's AppChoices app or through the privacy or advertising settings on your device.

Third-Party Sources

Third-Party Sources Data Received

For Third-Party Sources that collect your driving data through technology built into or added to your vehicle, your driving data, which includes vehicle speed, time information and odometer readings, is collected by others and provided to us with your consent. For Third-Party Sources that collect your driving data through a mobile app supplied by another party, the other party will provide to us driving information, mobile phone information and app analytics information, similar to that described above in connection with the App. Other information, such as trip duration, miles driven, phone usage, trip classification, and rates of acceleration and braking, is derived from the data provided.

We may share personally identifiable Snapshot data with third parties to service your insurance policy, detect or prevent fraud, perform research, market our or our affiliates’ products and services to you, or as required or permitted by law. For example, we may disclose such data:

  • When we determine that we're legally required to provide the data, such as in response to a subpoena in a civil lawsuit or by police when investigating the cause of an accident
  • To a state department of insurance to support renewal rates
  • To service providers who are contractually required to maintain its confidentiality

You may limit some of the marketing of our or our affiliates’ products and services to you by calling us at 1-844-582-5040. Your choice will apply to all people listed on your policy.

We may share de-personalized Snapshot data more broadly. De-personalizing the data means that we remove personally identifiable information so that the data cannot be associated with a particular individual.

Accident Response

The Accident Response feature is designed to use the sensors in your phone to detect a motor vehicle collision (“Event”). Participation in Accident Response is completely voluntary and conditioned on your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions . To participate in Accident Response, you must download the App, complete the registration process, and keep all required App permissions enabled while driving.

Data Collected

Once downloaded, the App will run in the background and collect and analyze driving and phone sensor data (“Accident Response Data”), which will be uploaded to Progressive. Accident Response Data includes vehicle speed and location using GPS, time and date information, phone usage and settings, data from the phone’s sensors, your responses to contacts initiated through the Accident Response program, and other information necessary to enable or support the Accident Response program.

Mobile phone and App analytics information is also collected. Mobile phone information includes Wi-Fi status, whether your screen is locked, whether you are calling or otherwise using your phone, motion activity or activity recognition, whether the phone is connected to a Bluetooth® device, and operating system data available to the App. The App does not record the content of your communications or the identity of the person with whom you are communicating, or other app(s) you are using.

App analytics information includes how often you use the App, which mobile screens you have viewed in the App, which referring/exit pages you have entered and left in the App, aggregated App usage, App performance data, and other App activity.

The App may collect the vehicle information described above about any vehicle you occupy, even as a passenger.

How We Use Data

We use Accident Response Data to help detect your involvement in an Event. We use the App’s detection of an Event to initiate a communication to you to confirm the Event and determine whether you require an ambulance or tow service. We may use the location of your device to dispatch emergency assistance.

We use Accident Response Data, including location information, to assist in resolving a claim. This may include, but is not necessarily limited to, validating the circumstances of the accident, such as date and time of loss and crash location; making liability and coverage determinations; conducting investigations of policy claims and/or claims of fraud and material misrepresentation, including verifying information you have previously provided to us; and any potential subrogation or litigation involving the claim.

If an Event is detected and an ambulance is dispatched, we will automatically open a claim under your policy. If an Event is detected and a tow is dispatched, we will automatically open a claim unless you pay for that tow out of pocket at the time service is rendered. The dispatching of emergency services and/or a tow by us shall not be deemed a determination of coverage under your policy.

We also use App analytics information to help us understand how you interact with the App, so that we can continue to improve the user experience.

We may also use information collected or derived from the App for:

  • Underwriting and rating purposes, including verification of information provided by you or with your consent
  • Servicing your insurance policy
  • Research and development
  • Providing you with reports on your driving behavior.
  • Marketing our or our affiliates’ products and services to you.

We limit access to the information collected or derived from the App and use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to help protect it and your privacy.

When We May Disclose the App Data to Others

We may disclose Accident Response Data with our service providers to provide and administer the Accident Response program and to process and resolve a claim involving an Event. If we dispatch emergency assistance, we may disclose the fact that you may be involved in an Event and your device location with emergency personnel. We may also be required to disclose Accident Response Data to others if legally obligated to respond to a subpoena or otherwise required by law.

We may also share information collected or derived from the App to detect or prevent fraud, perform research, or market our or our affiliates’ products and services to you. You may limit some of the marketing of our or our affiliates’ products and services to you by calling us at 1-844-582-5040. Your choice will apply to all people listed on your policy.

We may share de-personalized Accident Response Data more broadly. De-personalizing the data means that we remove personally identifiable information so that the data cannot be associated with a particular individual.
