Responsibility

The data controller is the Ministry in charge of Transport.
The analysis and processing of technical logs for evaluation are the responsibility of the Gustave Eiffel University (UGE).

Purpose of Processing

The main purpose of the processing is as follows: to enhance road safety for vehicle drivers by enabling:

  • the reception of information and alerts from the French C-ITS architecture;
  • reporting of incidents and events in a collaborative mode by vehicle drivers.

For this purpose, the following data is collected by the application and relayed to road managers:

  • road network speed, allowing the manager to assess congestion levels on their network and to activate appropriate traffic measures (information to users, diversions, etc.);
  • events voluntarily declared by the user such as "I saw an accident," "I saw an animal on the road," "I saw a person on the road," "the road is blocked," "there is an obstacle on the road."

Declared events are integrated into the C-ITS ecosystem, just like the events reported by vehicles.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Users can at any time exercise their right to withdraw consent by uninstalling the application.

Processing of Personal Data

The personal data collected and processed by the application for these purposes alone are as follows:

1. The speed and position of the smartphone

This application collects location data to enable real-time notification by the manager of events on the road in the form of alerts, even when the application is closed or not in use (in the background).

These data are relayed to road managers anonymously using randomly changed identifiers. They are retained until data aggregation from multiple sources, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. The resulting calculation, namely average speed or average travel time, along with the number of vehicles used for this calculation, are kept for several years by road managers.

These data are accessible to the road managers listed on the service map of this website: coopits.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/carte-interactive-des-services/New window

2. Anonymous logs of the application's technical operation.

These data are used only for the purposes of evaluating and improving the Coopits application: technical evaluation, ergonomic improvement, accident impact assessment, usability and use of the application, etc.

These data will be retained until the end of the InDiD project, namely December 2024.

These data will only be accessible to research institutes and universities, partners of the ministry:

  • CEREMA
  • Gustave Eiffel University (UGE)
  • University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA)
  • Telecom ParisTech
  • Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne University (UCA)
  • Institute of Mines Telecom (IMT)
  • University of the Hauts de France (UPHF)
  • Bordeaux INP
  • GIE RE PR Lab (Renault and Peugeot Accidentology Laboratory Institute)
