re: Apps like Life 360, Gas Buddy, & MyRadar sell your driving data to insurance companies

How does Life360 know if I’m driving or in an Uber?
Statement from Life360:
quote:
"Life360 does not share personally identifiable driving data with insurance companies to influence our members' insurance premiums unless a member explicitly requests that we do so. We require specific, opt-in consent before sharing a member's personal driving data for personalized insurance quotes," the spokesperson said. "There may be companies that share data with insurance companies without the driver's full knowledge or affirmative consent, but Life360 is not one of those."
The bolded part is there for a reason. They might not being sending data that can be linked back to you personally, but anonymized/aggregated data could still be shared.

I have a better one for them, I just give them my driving data and it lowers my insurance rates because I work from home and my wife's round trip to work is 7 miles 4 days per week 
I guess I get not wanting to share that data if you drive like an a-hole, but I don't, so I don't have an issue with it.

My insurance is lower than my wife because I only put 5000 miles per yr on my vehicle while she put about 8k-10k.
And I drive like a bat out of hell lol

It also tracks what times you drive. If you drive during rush hour or late at night that can be a ding.

So if I load the app on an iPad with a data plan that rarely leaves the house I can lower my insurance rates?
