Why we collect your personal information

We use your information quite simply at your request to deal with your enquiry and to provide you with a quotation. If you provide personal information about someone else, for example if an enquiry is made for yourself and a partner, you must do so with the permission of the other person. The personal information about the other person will be used in the ways as described in this privacy notice.

You don’t have to give us any of your personal information, but if we are collecting your data to fulfil our contract with you and it’s necessary to enter into a contract, we will be unable to provide our services if you choose not to provide your information.

Please note: If you decide to progress with an application for insurance through a relevant and associated third party, the information you have provided to us, together with any further information requested by them and supplied by you, will be held by them for the purposes set out in their privacy notice.

We will not share, sell, loan or lease your personal information to any other third party except those relevant, or needed, to provide the products or services you have requested – your information is passed securely to the following categories of companies:

We do not routinely transfer personal information outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). However, a product or service may be administered from a country outside Europe. If this is the case, we put a contract in place to ensure that your information is adequately protected, secure and any transfer of personal information outside of the EEA will comply with local data protection regulation.

Keeping your information

We’ll hold on to your information for at least as long as is needed to be able to provide our services to you. After this point we review the data that we hold to decide whether we need to keep hold of your information any longer, for example to deal with a complaint or for any legal reasons that may arise from a complaint being made.

We may also hold your information for administrative, management forecasting and planning and statistical purposes, in which case, we will limit what we keep where possible to minimise risk and safeguard personal information.
