For Sagicor Drive to function accurately, the following settings and permissions are required:

 

  • Background App Refresh/ App Running: This setting allows the app to log your driving history while it's running in the background on your phone.

     

  • Location:

This setting allows the app to use your phone’s GPS sensor to detect and log your location and sense motion.

 

  • Data:

    The app uses your phone’s data to enhance the accuracy of detecting your location.

     

  • Battery Saver Mode:

For the app to effectively function, battery/ power saver mode must be disabled.

 

You can voluntarily opt out of the program by choosing the “Delete My Account” option in the Settings section of the Sagicor Drive app.

Sagicor Drive will detect movement of a certain speed and distance to identify when a trip starts.

Yes, Sagicor Drive will work as is, if you continue to have data plan access in that country. These trips, however, will automatically log your trip status as “Passenger” and will not contribute to your driving score and discount.

Your driving score is a value aggregated across your trips and is derived from six driving behaviors that the grey line, to identify it differently from the accurately recorded portion of the map which is normally displayed as a blue line.


 

There are at least four reasons why some trips could be missing:
- First, settings required to detect trips may have been changed. Make sure that the settings on your
phone match those mentioned in the Recommended Settings.

- Second, whenever prompted, make sure the Location Service permission is set to “Always Allow”.
Only this permission will make the app detect and record trips even when app is closed.

- Third, there could be a delay in refreshing your trip history due to internet connectivity issues. Give it a
few minutes and check again.

- Fourth, unreliable information. Your proximity to high-rise buildings, cell phone jammers, low battery
or being in dead spots may cause this.


Trips older than 30 days will be locked permanently to maintain data integrity and possible manipulation.

Sometimes motion detection is delayed and there is a loss of map data from where you were (this can be due to low battery, or poor cell service). To minimize this issue, Sagicor Drive attempts to estimate your actual path, and the estimated portion of the map is shown as a grey line, to identify it differently from the accurately recorded portion of the map which is normally displayed as a blue line.

Sagicor will not track your location. Sagicor Drive uses your phone’s GPS and location to determine your speed and driving habits such as hard braking. This initiative focuses solely on issuing rewards for good driving not on tracking. Access to driving habits data is reserved strictly for the Sagicor Drive administrative team as well as the app’s development team.

Sagicor Drive will use the information collected in the following ways:

  • To rate your driving to then generate a driving score
  • To calculate your discount
  • To calculate your monthly reward points
  • To generate driving tips
  • To assess if you've won a badge or a monthly challenge
  • Show you your trip path
 

  1. Your data is securely stored in a private environment hosted on AWS. We have restricted access to your data to the Sagicor Drive administrative team as well as the app’s development team.
