Research is suggesting that once the consumer is satisfied that their data is being stored and used in a safe and secure manner, there will be a tipping point for uptake of usage based insurance products in Canada.

Post this

(PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Panellists have been selected to debate the contentious issue of data ownership and storage to give an all-round perspective on usage based insurance in Canada. The panel will feature Alex Veilleux, Chief Product Manager – UBI from insurer Desjardins; Vincent Pavero, Director, Products & Innovation from telematics service provider iMetrik, Fred Carter, Senior Policy & Technology Advisor at the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner; and Gil Zvulony, Barrister & Solicitor at law firm Zvulony & Co. The session will be moderated by Adam Mayers, Personal Finance Editor, Toronto Star.

Jack Palmer, Project Director at Telematics Update, commented, “This panel session is sure to be one of the most enlightening of the whole conference. Research is suggesting that once the consumer is satisfied that their data is being stored and used in a safe and secure manner, there will be a tipping point for uptake of usage based insurance products in Canada. The panel is set to discuss what challenges need to be overcome before this is made reality.”

The panel session overview can be seen below -

Educating Consumers on Privacy, Data Usage and Insurance Telematics
One of the central challenges to UBI uptake is dispelling privacy concerns. Discover key considerations that need to be addressed when managing a UBI product.

• Break down the technology. Understand how data is utilized from device to the data centre and create a secure system that allays consumer fears surrounding the robustness of UBI products
• Develop a transparent and accountable UBI framework, embodied by clear terms and conditions, that gives clear answers to questions surrounding data ownership, usage and storage to build trust amongst consumers
• Determine how future privacy debates will be shaped by advances in connected car technology so that insurers and TSPs can prepare for new customer acceptance challenges
• Fred Carter, Senior Policy & Technology Advisor to the Commissioner, Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario
• Alex Veilleux, Chief Product Manager UBI, Desjardins
• Vincent Pavero, Director, Products & Innovation, iMetrik
• Gil Zvulony, Barrister & Solicitor, Zvulony & Co. pc
• Moderator - Adam Mayers, Personal Finance Editor, Toronto Star

With interest in UBI growing quickly there has been no better time to discuss how the auto-insurance ecosystem comes together with telematics service providers to produce the insurance products that consumers want. For the first time, Canadian-specific trends and challenges surrounding consumer uptake, privacy concerns and broker outreach will be addressed and delegates will have the chance to meet other influential parts of the value chain such as C-level execs from mobile network operators, data aggregators and of course, regulators.
