Insurers and insurance intermediaries sell and market insurance online and utilize social media to promote their products and evaluate consumer behavior. Historically, insurance companies have been significant collectors and users of customer-related information; the age of “Big Data” has greatly accelerated both the types of information collected and how it is used, creating new opportunities for developing, underwriting, and marketing insurance products. However, the online or cyber world similarly creates new challenges for regulators and risks to consumers, including the complexity of underwriting and risk classifications, multiple distribution channels that cross regulatory boundaries and are increasingly global in reach, and consumer privacy and ownership of data. These new realities in turn implicate the growing risk of cyber or data breaches and the ability of third parties to illegally access and utilize the immense amounts of confidential information insurers and other institutions now routinely collect.

This paper assess the legal challenges arising from the use of telematics technology in the insurance sector. Telematics technology allows insurers to obtain information on location, kilometres travelled and other driving patterns of an individual policyholder. Ultimately, this will allow car insurers to use risk factors related to an individual policyholder to determine the premium for motor vehicle liability insurance. For all its possible benefits, telematics insurance poses significant privacy and data protection risks, revolving around two questions: first, whether insurers can collect certain data on driver’s habits and behaviour; second, how this data is used (and processed) by the insurers. The paper will rely on a legal analysis of the legislative texts on which data protection and privacy are based in Europe and will be supported by a review of the relevant academic literature, research reports and other policy documents, industry publications and media materials. Part One will introduce telematics insurance focusing on the insurance sector in the European Union. Part Two addresses in more detail the main legal challenges posed by telematics insurance, data protection and privacy. Part Three points out other challenges facing telematics insurance, including data ownership and indirect discrimination. In conclusion, this paper looks ahead to possible insurance sector responses and policy goals.

The influence of big data affects all aspects of life, including insurance. With car insurance, companies have the ability to go beyond the traditional driving history and current usage questions to customize policies for each holder, especially with the introduction of monitoring technology that is either installed directly into the car or accessed via cell phone. Most consumers who are interested in usage-based insurance coverage are willing to sacrifice any concerns with data security for the trade off of financial savings, but car insurance companies must be aware of the ethics of their actions and work to protect user data. Erie Insurance Company is specifically analyzed in this article as an example.
