Transfer

We will not transfer your data outside of the United Kingdom without seeking your prior written consent. We take responsibility for the security of information in our possession. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information in transit to us electronically as transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure or under our control.

How Long We Will Keep Your Information 

We will keep your information for as long as is reasonably necessary. This is dependent upon the nature of the information provided.  

All personal data that is disposed of by us will be carried out in a secure manner. Paper based files will be securely shredded; electronic copies of information will be permanently deleted from our system.

If you Choose Not to Give Personal Information

We may need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you.

If you choose not to give us this personal information, it may delay or prevent us from meeting our obligations or doing business with you. It may also mean that we cannot perform services needed to run your accounts or policies. It could mean that we cancel a product you buy from us.

How do we keep your Personal Data secure? 

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you.  The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.  

Marketing

We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and offers. This is what we mean when we talk about “marketing”.

The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us and data we collect when you use our services or purchase products from us. 

We study this to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products and offers may be relevant for you.

We can only use your personal information to send you marketing messages if we have either your consent or a “legitimate interest”. That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time and unsubscribing.

We must stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes as soon as we receive an objection from you.

Whatever you choose, you will still receive statements and other important information about your customer account with us.

We may ask you to confirm or update your choices, if you purchase any new products with us in future. We will also ask you to do this if there are changes in the law, regulation or the structure of our business.
