Website Privacy Policy

The Data We Collect

The data we collect, including any personal and sensitive data, will only be contractual information necessary solely to provide a quotation and policy. It will be shared with Insurers and other bodies involved in arranging and administering your insurance only for that purpose, and if you refuse to provide any of the information requested, we will be unable to quote or offer cover.

What We Do With the Information We Gather

Internal Use

• Internal record keeping.
• To improve our products and services.
• To contact you about your insurance arrangements.

Marketing & Research

• With your consent, we may send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting.
• From time to time, we may contact you by email, phone, or mail for market research purposes.

Website Customisation

We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

How We Use Artificial Intelligence Tools

To help us deliver our services efficiently, we sometimes use trusted artificial intelligence (AI) tools (such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Business). These tools can help us analyse information or draft documents, but they are always used under strict security and privacy controls.

Data Controller & Processor Roles

We remain the Data Controller. OpenAI acts only as our Data Processor and processes data solely on our instructions under a binding Data Processing Addendum.

Model Training

Your data is not used to train AI models. Any personal information entered is processed only to provide the service and is not added to OpenAI’s general training data.

Security Protections

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and OpenAI is independently audited against recognised security standards.

Retention

AI providers only retain data for as long as necessary to deliver the service, then delete it in line with strict schedules.

International Transfers

If data is processed outside the UK/EEA, this is protected by approved legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses with UK addendum).

Data Minimisation

We only input the information strictly necessary and never for purposes incompatible with your insurance arrangements.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

International Transfers & Safeguards

Your information may be passed to countries outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”). For example, this may happen if any of our servers or service providers are located outside these areas. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK/EEA. If we transfer your information outside the UK/EEA, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place so that your personal data continues to be protected.
