How we use your personal data and who we share it with
We may use the personal data we hold about you for the purposes of providing insurance, handling claims and any other related purposes (this may include underwriting decisions made via automated means), research or statistical purposes. We will also use your data to safeguard against fraud and money laundering and to meet our general legal or regulatory obligations.

Sensitive personal data

Some of the personal information, such as information relating to health or criminal convictions, may be required by us for the specific purposes of underwriting or as part of the claims handling process. The provision of such data is conditional for us to be able to provide insurance or manage a claim. Such data will only be used for the specific purposes set out in our notice.

Disclosure of your personal data

We may disclose your personal data to third parties involved in providing products or services to us, or to service providers who perform services on our behalf. These may include, where necessary, affinity partners, brokers, agents, third party administrators, reinsurers, other insurance intermediaries, insurance reference bureaus, credit agencies, medical service providers, fraud detection agencies, loss adjusters, external law firms, external auditors and accountants, regulatory authorities, and as may be required by law.

International transfers of data

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, processed, and stored at, a destination outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). We currently transfer personal data outside of the UK and EEA to the USA and Israel. Where we transfer your personal data outside of the UK and EEA, we will take all steps necessary to ensure that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy notice and the Legislation.

Your data will not be retained for longer than is necessary and will be managed in accordance with our data retention policy. In most cases the retention period will be for a period of seven (7) years following the expiry of the insurance contract, or our business relationship with you, unless we are required to retain the data for a longer period due to business, legal or regulatory requirements.
