The Information we collect

How we use this information and the legal basis for processing

We will only process information that is necessary for the purpose for which it has been collected. The legal basis of processing will vary depending the type of service you have requested, and we have listed some examples of our processing activities below;

1.     Administering quotes and policies (as is necessary for performance of a contract between you and us and/or as is necessary for our legitimate interests);

4.     Undertaking market research and statistical analysis, including analysing your use of our website. This allows us to develop new, or improve existing, products and services (as is necessary for our legitimate interests). 

How do we share this information?

We do not sell your information to third parties. We will only share the information that is necessary for the third party to perform the processing activity it was provided for, such as;

How long do we keep your information for?

We will not hold your personal information for any longer than is necessary. If you are a customer or otherwise have a relationship with us, we will hold personal information about you for a longer period than if we have obtained your details in connection with a prospective relationship.
