In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and related UK data protection legislation,  we are committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of the information that you provide to  us. 

This Notice is designed to help you understand what kind of information we collect in connection  with our products and services and how we will process and use this information. In the course of  providing you with products and services we will collect and process information that is commonly  known as personal data. 

Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples include  an individual’s name, age, address, date of birth, their gender and contact details. 

Personal data may contain information which is known as special categories of personal data. This  may be information relating to an individual’s health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious  or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic and biometric data, or data relating to or  sexual orientation. 

Personal data may also contain data relating to criminal convictions and offences. 

For the purposes of safeguarding and processing criminal conviction and offence data responsibly,  this data is treated in the same manner as special categories of personal data, where we are legally  required to comply with specific data processing requirements. 

In order for us to arrange and administer insurance for you we will collect and process personal data  about you. We will also collect your personal data where you request information about our services,  customer events, promotions and campaigns. 

We may also need to collect personal data relating to others in order to arrange and administer  insurance. In most circumstances, you will provide us with this information. Where you disclose the  personal data of others, you must ensure you are entitled to do so.

You may provide us with personal data when completing online quote or contact forms, when you  contact us via the telephone, when writing to us directly via post, email or SMS or where we provide  you with paper-based forms for completion or we complete a form in conjunction with you. 

We will share your personal data within our business and with business partners. This is normal  practice within the insurance industry where it is necessary to share information in order to place,  quantify and underwrite risks, to assess overall risk exposure and to process claims. It is also  necessary to determine the premium payable and to administer our business. 

We also share personal data with authorised third parties, this is necessary where we are required to  do so by law, where we need to administer our business, to quote for, source, place and administer  your insurances, including arranging insurance premium finance, to perform underwriting activities  and to process claims. Some examples follow: 

• Insurers

• Other Insurance Brokers

• Telematic Device Providers

• Underwriters

• Premium finance providers

• Credit reference agencies

• Debt recovery agencies

• Claims handling companies

• Loss adjusters

• Reinsurers

• Regulators

With your consent we may also share your personal data within our group of businesses to offer you  products and services that may be of interest to you. This includes other businesses falling under the Well Dunn Group (Holdings) Ltd., of which we are a part.

We will collect your personal data when you visit our website, where we will collect your unique online  electronic identifier; this is commonly known as an IP address. 

We may also record your visit to our website via online tracking software using JavaScript. Users are  selected at random for this visualisation behavioural monitoring for the purpose of generating an  exceptional user experience on our website. 

We will also collect electronic personal data when you first visit our website where we will place a  small text file that is commonly known as a cookie on your computer. Cookies are used to identify  visitors and to simplify accessibility, and to monitor visitor behaviour when viewing website content,  navigating our website and when using features. For more information, please see our Cookie  Policy. 

We may record your communications with us when contacting our customer service, complaints and  other customer focused functions. We may also collect personal data through the use of telematics or  similar locational tracking services, where you have agreed to the use of this particular service. 

Where we collect data directly from you, we are considered to be the controller of that data  i.e., we are the data controller. Where we use third parties to process your data, these parties are  known as processors of your personal data. Where there are other parties involved in underwriting or  administering your insurance they may also process your data in which circumstance we will be a  joint data controller of your personal data. 

A data ‘controller’ means the individual or organisation which, alone or jointly with others, determines  the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. 

A data ‘processor’ means the individual or organisation which processes personal data on behalf of  the controller. 

As a provider of insurance services, we will process the following categories of data:

• Personal data such as an individual’s name, address, date of birth, gender, contact details and details of historic claims

• Special categories of personal data such as health and details on historic claims resulting in injury (physical and physiological)

• Data relating to criminal convictions and offences such as details of driving offences or insurance fraud

If you object to the collection, sharing and use of your personal data we may be unable to provide you  with our products and services. 

For the purposes of meeting the Data Protection Act 2018 territorial scope requirements, the United  Kingdom is identified as the named territory where the processing of personal data takes place. 

If you require more information about our insurance processes or further details on how we collect personal data and with whom we share data with, please contact our Compliance Team by e mailing compliance@insurancerevolution.co.uk 

We will use your personal data for the performance of our contract with you, to quote for and provide you with insurance products and services, to process claims and renewals, to administer your policy  and our business, to respond to any requests from you about services we provide and to process  complaints. We will also use your personal data to manage your account, perform statistical analysis  on the data we collect, for financial planning and business forecasting purposes and to develop new  and market existing products and services. 

We will use the special category and criminal conviction data we collect about you for the  performance of our contract with you which is deemed to be necessary for reasons of substantial  public interest. This allows us to quote for and provide you with insurance products and services, to  process claims and renewals and to administer your policy. 

In purchasing our products and services you should understand that you are forming a contract  with us. If you contact us for a quote via our website or directly, or request details on the services we provide, we consider ourselves as having a legitimate business interest to provide you with further information about our services, including in circumstances where a policy is not taken up with ourselves in the first instance.

In some situations, we may request your consent to market our products and services to you, to  share your data or to transfer your data outside the UK and European Economic Area.  Where we require consent, your rights and what you are consenting to will be clearly communicated  to you. Where you provide consent, you can withdraw this at any time by contacting our Compliance  Team by e-mailing compliance@insurancerevolution.co.uk 

You should be aware that we use automated decision making (services/tools and techniques) to  check for customer suitability to our products, for example we might perform a credit search to check  an individual’s solvency and credit rating. We also analyse data to identify products and services that  customers may be interested in; this is commonly known as profiling. You have the right to object to  the use of profiling activities and the use of automated decision making (services/tools and  techniques). 

Please contact our Compliance Team if you object to the use of, or you have any questions relating  to the use of, your data, the retention of your personal data or the use of profiling and automated  decision-making services/tools and techniques. You can opt out of receiving marketing services by e-mailing marketing@insurancerevolution.co.uk 

We will retain your personal data at the end of any contractual agreement for a period of 7 years. We  will retain special category and criminal conviction data for a period of 18 months after your policy with  us ends. Where you have requested a quote, we will retain your personal data for 7 years, where you  have contacted us for details of our services and products, we will retain your personal data for 18 months. Where you or law enforcement agencies inform us about any active investigation or potential  criminal prosecution, we will comply with legal requirements when retaining this data. 

The retaining of data is necessary where required for contractual, legal or regulatory purposes or for  our legitimate business interests for statistical analysis (profiling) and product development and  marketing purposes. 

Sometimes we may need to retain your data for longer, for example if we are representing you or  defending ourselves in a legal dispute or as required by law or where evidence exists that a future  claim may occur. 

We may send limited data to selected employees of our business and third parties based outside the UK to countries where data protection laws may not provide the same level of protection as the European Economic Area. This is necessary for  the purposes of administering our business. We will take steps to ensure your data is adequately protected such as entering into ‘standard data protection clauses’. Such parties are not permitted to use your personal data for any other purpose than for what has been agreed with us. These parties  are also required to safeguard your personal data through the use of appropriate technical and  organisational data security measures and are prohibited from disclosing or sharing your data with  other third parties without our prior authorisation, or unless as required by law. 

Please contact our Compliance Team for a list of countries and organisations your personal data is  transferred to. 

Individuals are provided with legal rights governing the use of their personal data. These grant  individuals the right to understand what personal data relating to them is held, for what purpose, how  it is collected and used, with whom it is shared, where it is located, to object to its processing, to have  the data corrected if inaccurate, to take copies of the data and to place restrictions on its processing.  Individuals can also request the deletion of their personal data. 

These rights are known as Individual Rights under the Data Protection Act 2018. The following list  details these rights: 

• The right to be informed about the personal data being processed;

• The right of access to your personal data;

• The right to object to the processing of your personal data;

• The right to restrict the processing of your personal data;

• The right to rectification of your personal data;

• The right to erasure of your personal data;

• The right to data portability (to receive an electronic copy of your personal data);

• Rights relating to automated decision-making including profiling.

Individuals can exercise their Individual Rights at any time. As mandated by law we will not charge a  fee to process these requests, however if your request is considered to be repetitive, wholly  unfounded and/or excessive, we are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee. 

In exercising your Individual Rights, you should understand that in some situations we may be unable  to fully meet your request, for example if you make a request for us to delete all your personal  data, we may be required to retain some data for taxation, prevention of crime and for regulatory and  other statutory purposes. 

You should understand that when exercising your rights, a substantial public or vital interest may take  precedence over any request you make. In addition, where these interests apply, we are required by  law to grant access to this data for law enforcement, legal and/or health related matters.

The flow of data within the insurance sector is complex and we ask you to keep this in mind when exercising your ‘rights of access’ to your information. Where we may be reliant on other organisations  to help satisfy your request this may impact on timescales. 

If you require further information on your Individual Rights or you wish to exercise your Individual Rights, please contact our Compliance Team by e-mailing complaints@insurancerevolution.co.uk or  by writing to Complaints Team, Well Dunn Limited, Unit 5, Blantyre Street, Manchester M15 4JJ. 

We will take all appropriate technical and organisational steps to protect the confidentiality, integrity,  availability and authenticity of your data, including when sharing your data within our business and  authorised third parties.
