Personal data and privacy policy

a. What data is collected and why?

La Fabrique des Mobilités Québec and its partner Coop Carbone are responsible for processing user data. The data as well as the application will be hosted on secure servers of Digital Océan. La Fabrique des Mobilités Québec has contractually ensured that its partners ensure the security of the data collected by means of the Application.

The Application may constitute one or more files comprising information provided voluntarily by the user or else retrieved through the operating system of the user’s smartphone. The legal basis on which the processing of personal data is based is a contractual relationship. La Fabrique des Mobilités Québec undertakes to request and / or collect only the data necessary for the project aimed at understanding new travel habits and the provision of the services offered in accordance with principle 5 of the digital data charter (Digital sobriety ; Make reasoned and reasonable use of the data).

The data collected by means of the Application and processed by FabMob and its partners, as well as the purposes of this processing are described below:

Purpose 1: identification of the user to find his data in the database.

Single user token;
User creation timestamp;
Associated operating system;
Unique device identifier.

Purpose 2: visualization of traces of mobility by the user or the beta-tester with an estimate of his carbon footprint.

Geographic positions of the telephone.

Purpose 3: cleaning and correction of mobility traces so that the user can view them.

Geographic positions of the telephone.
Speeds detected by the operating system of the telephone
Modes of transport detected by the operating system of the telephone

The aforementioned data must be collected in order to be able to benefit from the services offered by the Application, namely the visualization of its traces of mobility and the ” estimate of the carbon footprint linked to its journeys. No data processing gives rise to automated individual decision-making or profiling.

If the user does not want this data to be communicated to the server, he is then unable to use the Application.

The following data is collected on an optional basis, and stored locally on the Application:

Purpose 4: estimation of certain personalized metrics based on physical characteristics (optional collection)

Gender, height, weight, age (the collection of this data is not not mandatory to use the Application)

b. How is the collected data used?

The raw data is stored on the user’s smartphone and continuously sent to a server which performs nightly processing to improve the data. These improvements consist of a processing in 8 steps:

the position and speed data of the GPS are collected in the application (phone side) by querying the smartphone OS, then:

sent (asynchronously) to the server for processing in deferred time (every night) in a processing pipeline:
recovery of app data already recorded in the database;
division into trips: after 5 ‘of immobility (configurable threshold), it is considered that this is another trip;
cutting into sections;
smoothing of sections: correction of potential GPS errors
cleaning / temporal resampling of samples
detection of the movement mode: the mode is detected as a function of the speed, and, for public transport, only by relying on the proximity of the start and end of the journey (section) and of a public transport stop (public transport stops are found on the OpenStreetMap database queried by the overpass API)
verification of active modes: the mobile app allows the user to inform about an incident and correct the mode, or complete the reason for a trip.

The server hosting the Application as well as the data collected: TOR1 is located in Toronto, Canada, at the company Digital Ocean.

No use for commercial purposes of this personal data is made by La Fabrique des Mobilités Québec and its partners (Coop Carbone and Savoir Faire Linux).

To guarantee the right to privacy (preserve privacy and prevent surveillance) in accordance with principle 1 of the digital data charter, no individual processing of data will be carried out.

The analyzes will be carried out on aggregated data.

The Data visible in the “Dashboard” tab and corresponds to the indicators for each user of the application for a period defined by the User.

This data is not the subject of a specific database and is calculated on the fly for direct display in the users’ application. These are the following indicators:

total number of kilometers by mode of travel,
number of trips by mode of travel,
total duration of trips by mode of travel,
speed by mode of travel

c. Data retention

If the user deletes the Application, the data stored on the Application are immediately deleted and the data associated with his token (geographical positions, speeds, journeys) in the server are saved unless the user requests the deletion of their data.

The data stored locally on the Application (gender, height, weight, age) are kept in the Application until the Application is deleted.

The user can request the deletion of his data stored on the server (geographical positions, speeds, journeys) at any time.

FabMob keeps the personal data collected for the time necessary to perform the analyzes described herein, a maximum of 12 months following their collection. The data are then anonymized or aggregated and ceases to be associated with identifiable individuals.

d. What ensures data security?

Data protection In accordance with the digital data charter (principle 3: Cybersecurity; Protecting personal data), all user data is hosted in Canada, on facilities operated by Digital Ocean. Digital Ocean claims to comply with Canadian legislation on the protection of personal data. All the elements relating to Digital Ocean’s security and compliance are available on this page: https://www.digitalocean.com/trust/resources/

The Application infrastructure is managed by La Fabrique des Mobilités Quebec (https://fabmobqc.ca/).

e. How to exercise your rights regarding personal data?

In application of the provisions of the digital data charter (principle 4: Consent; Guarantee full citizen control over the digital footprint), the user benefits in particular from:

To exercise these rights, simply send an e-mail to info@fabmobqc.ca.

f. Data obtained via a questionnaire

Periodically, when specific analyzes are carried out by FabMob and its partners, personal data is collected via a questionnaire.

This data is associated with your account for the duration of such an analysis, but will not be subject to individual processing, and will only be used to identify trends or compile statistics within the framework of a particular analysis. .

The questionnaire as well as the data collected through it will be hosted and stored on the website of the Fabrique des mobilités Québec, which is itself hosted on secure servers operated by Godaddy, some of which may be located outside of Quebec. .

The data obtained through the questionnaire will be deleted once the particular analysis is completed.

g. Purpose of the data collected

As part of a project whose objectives are to understand new travel habits, and to set up a governance of shared data, the data collected for the purposes of this project will be intended to be shared in the Jalon library. https://jalonmtl.services/. And this by respecting the principles of the digital data charter.

Data anonymization is necessary before it can be made accessible on the Jalon MTL library, to benefit the mobility ecosystem of Montreal and Quebec.

Anonymization will aim to transform personal data through non-reversible algorithms in order to remove any association with an identifiable individual, while allowing them to remain exploitable for processing for statistical purposes. In other terms this practice will therefore consist of using techniques to make it impossible to identify individuals while retaining sufficient information to use.
