WHO YOU ARE.

You are anyone whose personal information we collect including anyone:
When requesting an insurance quote, you should only provide details of named drivers if you have their permission to do so, including any sensitive personal data, and you should make them aware of this Fair Use Notice. By providing their details you are confirming to us that that is the case.

DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU.

Data You Provide

We collect the data that you give us when we provide you with a quote or when you make an insurance claim or use an accident aftercare service and any other time that we speak to you or you contact us.

The data we collect from you for an insurance quote and in the handling of any claims may include sensitive personal data relating to any convictions you have or that are pending and details of certain medical conditions.

We record telephone calls with you and these call recordings also form part of your personal data.

We also store information about your contacts with us such as the time, length and source of calls, the IP address that you use to access our website, whether you have read or replied to an email we send you; all this data helps us improve our service, detect fraud and resolve complaints when they arise. Our websites may use cookies (small text files) to track and record your activity and to allow us to personalise our websites and enhance your experience of them.

On occasions, you may ask your retailer to provide us with all or some of this data to help you set up a quote, free driveaway covernote or policy. Where you ask the retailer to do this we treat this as data that you have provided to us and we consider that the retailer has been acting on your behalf in providing us that data.

Data We Collect from Others

As part of providing an insurance quote and administrating a policy including handling a claim we or the insurers and product providers we use may collect data from third parties about you including

HOW WE USE YOUR DATA.

We will use your data to fulfil requests you make of us and to meet the requirements of any contract we enter with you or any promotion we provide to you.

For instance
Additionally, we will process your data to fulfil our legitimate interests where they are not overridden by your interests. This includes:
Additionally, should your vehicle manufacturer appoint another company to provide their branded motor insurance in our place, and where you have an active branded motor insurance policy then we will provide your data to that company solely for the purpose of them providing you with a branded motor Insurance renewal quote.

You can ask us not to process the data in any of these ways and we will consider your request fairly (see your rights to object to processing of your data below)

ADDITIONAL DATA PERMISSIONS

We, or the insurers that we deal with, may provide your data to certain third parties in relation to the services that you request from us or that are covered by an insurance contract or promotion you have participated in.

These include

TRANSFER OF DATA OUTSIDE OF THE UK AND THE EU.

We use servers located in the UK to store your personal information or elsewhere in the EU where it is protected by laws equivalent to those in the UK.

Some of our suppliers and insurers from whom we source insurance quotes may transfer your personal information outside the EU, where this is the case our contracts with such suppliers require them to provide equivalent levels of protection for your personal information as it would have anywhere in the EU.

HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

Where you do not enter into an insurance contract with us we will delete or anonymise your data during the third year after you last provided it to us or updated it unless there is a reason to hold it for longer, such as you made a complaint that was not resolved quickly.

Where you enter into an insurance contract, including a Covernote, arranged by us we will need to hold your data for the period that a third party is entitled to notify a claim under that policy which can be brought many years after the event, however we will pseudo anonymise your data in the third year after the expiry of your policy. That means it will be held in our systems in such a way that your data cannot be identified except by reference to a separately held and secured data file.

YOUR RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You as someone whose personal data we process have certain rights as to how we process it; namely:

The right to be informed

You are entitled to be informed in a transparent manner about the processing of your data and that is what we have set out in this Fair Use Notice. If you have any questions about how your data is processed then please contact us on 0800 326 5463 and we will try to answer your questions.

The right of access

You are entitled to know what data we are processing and to receive a copy of it. You can request this from us at any time. This is known as a Subject Access Request and in normal circumstances we cannot charge you for providing you with a copy of your personal data that we process. We will normally provide you with a copy of your data within one month of receiving your request.

The right to rectification

You are entitled to have corrected any incorrect or incomplete information that we hold on you.

The right to be forgotten

You are entitled to request that we delete your personal data where we no longer have a legal basis for processing it. We will delete your data if you request that we do so and if:

The right to restrict processing

You are entitled to request that we restrict the processing of data so that we only store your data and not process it further and we shall comply where one of the following applies:

The right to object

You are entitled to object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests beyond that which is strictly necessary in relation to a contract you have entered in to. If you make such a request we will either agree to your request or let you know any reason we have for not agreeing to it.

Where we have passed your data to another party and you make a request to exercise your rights in relation to that data we will endeavour to pass on your request to all such third parties who will be similarly obliged to treat your request in accordance with your rights as a data subject.

YOUR RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER.
