Data Privacy is respected and reinforced:
• Data collection and exploitation must be in line with
legal requirements (GDPR, Privacy, Loi Evin…)
• Security must be hacker-proof. It’s a major concern for
customers and a real threats.
• Data management must be transparent: Like Ad-
blockers, Consumer distrust of the commercial
exploitation of data may give rise to different forms of
IoT or Data-blockers.

Customers perceive IOTs as a source of benefits
and not a threat:
Mass adoption of IoT (on voluntarist basis) will be
possible if IoT are marketed like “good for those who
do more” and not like “bad for those who don’t respect
the rules”.
Barriers to adoption:
• Awareness
• Lack of perceived value
• Price
• Concerns about privacy & security

IoTs are integrated in a (new) customer centric
relationship model.
IoTs, mobile apps and online applications are offering more
contact points between insurers and customers.
Those opportunities must be exploited and integrated all along
the customer life cycle.
IoT must be used not only to propose personalized tariffs, but
also to trigger real time business decision

into corporate culture
Personalization of risk assessment must be transformed
into concrete (and profitable) new products and services.

• Pay how you drive (use)
• Micro insurance and contextual / slice offering

ecosystems.
