It may be necessary for us to share your personal data with financial and regulatory organisations (e.g. the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office) or law enforcement agencies (including courts) in order to assist them with enquiries, investigations or proceedings and ensure our compliance with our regulatory and legal requirements.

​

We will only keep your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the relevant purposes set out in this privacy policy or when we are obliged to do so in order to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The amount of time we retain your data for depends on the nature of the personal data and what we require it for. When your personal data is no longer required, we will ensure it is securely deleted.

You have a number of rights relating to personal information about you that we hold in our records:

​

The right to rectification

​

You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data rectified. If you believe this might be the case, please contact us and we will update or remove any information found to be incorrect or incomplete.

​

The right to erasure

​

If you haven't bought a policy with us, you can ask us to delete your information. We need to keep some information in certain circumstances for the detection and prevention of fraud, to check the accuracy of any information we've provided (like quotes for example) or in case of any future disputes.

In those cases, we'll retain the minimum information needed in the circumstances. To do this, we keep your conversation history, name, date of birth, any legal terms you've agreed to and a copy of the quotes we've issued.

​

The right to restrict processing

​

You have a right to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means you can limit the way we use your data and is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data. For example, we could securely and temporarily store your data in another system if you contest its accuracy and we need to verify it.

​

The right to data portability

​

You have a right to get a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide your data in a standard portable format. If you have any trouble understanding the data, let us know and we will help.

We won't usually charge a fee for providing that information but may do in certain circumstances. For example, if you make repetitive requests for information, we may charge a small fee or refuse your request.

 

The right to object to processing
