Frequently asked questions

What types of user data points does Roam.ai's Insights API gather and analyze?

The Insights API will let you gather the home and work location of a user, as well as a list of points of interest. These include restaurants, gyms, parks, etc.

How long does Roam.ai's Insights API need to collect data before generating actionable insights?

The API needs approximately 7 days of data collection, depending on how regular / irregular the moving patterns of a user are. If they are often switching locations and do not have predictable home and work locations it may take longer. That said, consistent movement patterns after 7 days will produce an output of insights.

How does the privacy mechanism work in Roam.ai's Insights API?

Roam is fully GDPR compliant. That means, all data that is collected is anonymized and encrypted. Although we collect home and work locations, we do not collect personal information such as the name, age, or contact details of a user. We also do not sell or communicate any of the data we collect with external parties.

What is the data retention policy for the Insights API?

We offer completely customizable data retention periods. By default our data retention policy is set at a maximum of 60 days, but we can go as low as 15 days for the Insights API. The reason for this minimum is in order to make sure the Insights API still has enough data to function.
Which database does the Insights API utilize for storing Points of Interest (POIs)?
We are currently using Open Street Maps (OSM) data for our POIs.
