You will receive a welcome email on the day you actively enroll in the TD MyAdvantage program. The email provides information about where to get the app and what information is required to activate it. You will need either an iPhone or Android^TM device. The app is optimized for the last three major versions of iOS and Android^TM operating systems. Please note the app is not compatible with tablets.

You have installed and activated the App at least 120 days before your Policy renewal documents are processed by TD Insurance

AND

You have recorded a minimum of 1,000 driven kms on the app prior to your Policy renewal documents being processed by TD Insurance.

The app analyzes and measures your actual driving habits to create an average driving score. This score will be used to provide any applicable discounts on a portion of your future premium. ^† The safer your driving habits the more you could save. Premiums are otherwise subject to change in the normal course of insurance business operations and the discounts will be applied against those changes, if applicable.

For each trip, the app collects and analyzes data based on Time of day, Acceleration, Braking, Speed and Cornering.

Your Acceleration score is determined by how frequently you accelerate rapidly. Rapid acceleration considers how quickly and by how much you increase your speed.

Your Braking score is determined by how frequently you hard brake. Hard braking considers how quickly and by how much you decrease your speed.

We know braking hard may be required at times. The score is calculated over the average of several trips so one occurrence in one trip should not have a significant impact on your score. The most important thing is your safety! Learn more about how accidents impact your car insurance rates.

Your Speeding score is determined by respecting the speed limit and driving at a safe speed compared to the posted speed limit.

Your Cornering score is determined by how fast the car is turning and the amount of "force" that throws drivers and passengers sideways.

Your Average score is based on a 12-month rolling average of your driving scores. Thus, depending on the number of trips you take, a single trip may not have a significant impact on your score.

Trip Summary on the app will show you a map where the main events such as hard braking, speeding, cornering and acceleration are identified. Use the legend to analyze your trip. Remember that it doesn’t show every detail of a trip only the most significant events are displayed on the map.

Please note: Trips covering a very short distance will not appear in the app and will not be considered in the calculation of your score.

No. The TD MyAdvantage program is personalized to the driver.

No. Each driver has a unique identification number and the app cannot be registered on two devices at the same time.

We consider time of day because driving at night can be more dangerous due to reduced visibility and fatigue. When possible, we encourage daytime driving.

11pm – 4am on weekdays

11pm – 5am on weekends

If you are driving during these times, your overall score may be affected.

The app will function regardless of where you are situated in the world as long as your location services are enabled, your phone is turned on and you have access to a cellular network.

• GPS data (location information);

• Confirmation of when the app is being turned on and off

We may use specific personal information (like your name, email address and postal code) to perform certain support activities, such as for authentication purposes when downloading, installing and troubleshooting the app.

For every trip, the app collects and securely transmits your data (i.e., hard braking, speeding, cornering and accelerating) for analysis and calculation of your driving score. Your driving data is then securely transmitted to the app to display scores. We will not use your driving data for any other purpose without your consent.

Yes. Data will be collected with each trip.

No. You don't need a mobile data plan, but you do need at least access to WiFi. Your driving data is collected using your phone's sensors and GPS. If you do not have a mobile data plan, your trip information will be uploaded once you connect to a WiFi network, such as through your home, work, in your vehicle or other WiFi location. We expect data consumption to be similar to other apps that use GPS.

Please note: The TD MyAdvantage app is free to download; however, standard wireless carrier data rates may apply.

The effect varies from one phone model to another. However, battery consumption will be similar to any other app using GPS features. If your phone's battery level is below 15%, the app will not start (or will automatically stop recording) if you're driving. The reason for this is that we don't want the app to drain your phone's entire battery by recording trips. Remember to make sure your phone is switched on and the battery is charged enough so that trip data can be collected.

You need either an iPhone or Android^TM device. The app is optimized for the last 3 major versions of iOS and Android^TM operating systems. Please note the app is not compatible with tablets and Blackberry operating systems (OS).

Please note that after 14 days, if the trips are not validated, the km's and score will not be attributed.
