What information do we ask you to provide directly to us and why?
You will note that we collect your e-mail address, first name and vehicle registration number when you first register for AIG On the Go and ask you to complete certain information in the “Personal Information” section of the app. The reason we ask you to provide certain information is as follows:
- Your e-mail address - When you first download AIG On the Go, we ask you to provide your e-mail address, which we use to generate a password for you. Without you providing this information, you will not be able to start using AIG On the Go. We also use your email address to communicate with you on queries you have on, or to provide you with information in relation to AIG On the Go and other services on AIG On the Go. Further (unless you have exercised your right to “opt out” of receiving promotional material), we may use this to contact you to market our insurance products and services and/or inform or enroll you in contests and other similar promotions.
- Your first name – We collect your first name which will be the name displayed on AIG On the Go with your score which will both be visible to other users of AIG On the Go. You need to provide this in order to use AIG On the Go.
- Vehicle registration number – We collect this information for eligibility and identification purposes. You are only eligible to use AIG On the Go if you are a licensed driver with a vehicle registered to your name which has also been provided to AIG Singapore when you signed up for AIG On the Go. As such, the provision of this information is a necessary condition of you accessing the functionality of AIG On the Go. If you choose to purchase insurance from us or enter any competition through AIG On the Go, then we will also use this information to effect that purchase or to register you for the competition. In the event of insurance purchase, this information will be used for the insurance related purposes as shown in our Privacy Policy at www.aig.sg/privacy.
What information does AIG On the Go collect and access when it is in use and why?
When you sign up for AIG On the Go, it is clearly indicated that AIG On the Go requires access to certain information. The type of information, the reasons why AIG On the Go requires access to them and the time at which the information is accessed are set out below:
- Location Information – AIG On the Go functions by collecting precise location data about your trip when you drive. This is to enable AIG On the Go to detect your acceleration, cornering, speed, braking and other measurements which make for safe driving. It is therefore necessary for permission to be given through the permission system of your mobile operating system for AIG On the Go to be used for its main purpose of assessing your performance as a driver. The On the Go app continues to collect your location data (GPS location) while it is running in the background. This enables the On the Go app to collect the relevant information necessary for the app to function as intended while you use other apps such as navigation apps or where you are not actively using your mobile phone. On the Go automatically recognizes driving behaviour: location (GPS sensor) is used while you are not driving to indicate movement of your mobile phone. The movement, if greater than a preset distance, is one of the indicators that a drive has started. The drive is recorded automatically. For these features and the On the Go app to function as intended as described above, you should allow the ‘Always’ Location permission, if requested.
- Sensors Motion Detection – To record the safety measurements of your driving (accelerating, cornering, speed, braking), AIG On the Go needs to access the activity recognition functionality of your mobile phone’s operating system. It is therefore necessary for you to allow such access to AIG On the Go through your mobile operating system in order to assess your safety performance as a driver.
- Network/Wifi states – AIG On the Go collects the location information in real time whilst you are connected via your mobile operator’s network or Wifi. However, if that connection is interrupted, the information is stored locally in your mobile phone until a connection is available. It is therefore necessary for permission to be given for AIG On the Go to access your network or Wifi information through your mobile operating system to obtain the information collected by the app and stored in your mobile phone so that AIG On the Go can assess your driving performance.
- Contacts Information – AIG On the Go provides you with the functionality to invite friends in your contacts list to register for AIG On the Go. If you wish to do this, however, it is necessary for you to permit access to the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile phone platform. We will only use such information if you use the “invite friends” function.

Android devices will notify you of all the permissions AIG On the Go may need for all functions when you first register for the app and your use of the app constitutes your consent.
