How will we use the information you give us?
Before we process your application for an insurance policy, we undertake checks for the purposes of preventing fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. These checks require us to process personal information about you and any named persons on your insurance policy. We will only use your information on the basis that it is necessary to administer your insurance contract or help you make a claim. Where we need to pass information to other firms, it will only be for that purpose. These firms will be Insurers, other insurance brokers, price comparison sites, fraud prevention agencies and firms handling claims. It includes finance providers and firms that process or administer our records.
When we contact you, it will either be for the above reason, or because we have a legitimate interest in marketing related products. For any other marketing it will only be with your consent and you will be able to withdraw your consent or unsubscribe easily at any time.
When we and fraud prevention agencies process your personal data, we do so on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify identity in order to protect our business and insurers to comply with laws that apply to us. Such processing is also a contractual requirement of the service you will be provided.
We, and fraud prevention agencies may also enable law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal data to detect, investigate and prevent fraud or crime.
Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal data for different period of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held for a period of up to 6 years. If we or a fraud prevention agency determine that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to provide you an insurance policy, cancel or void. A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies and may result in others refusing to provide you services, financing or employment. If you have further questions, please contact us on the details above.
