PRIVACY POLICY / プライバシーポリシー
We regard the privacy of you as very important.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, use, share, retain and safeguard your personal data and which rights you have in this respect. “Personal information” is information that can identify you as an individual.
Whilst it does not include information about companies, it does include information we collect about company directors, officers, employees, sole traders and members of partnerships. If you provide other people’s details to us, you must have obtained their consent to our using their data and provide this notice to them.
We will process your personal data in line with:
- The UK’s updated Data Protection Act 2018, which was initially the UK’s enactment of the EU GDPR
- The UK retained provisions of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (‘UK GDPR’) (retained by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018)
- Regulations based on wider EU legislation such as the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (EC Directive) 2003 (PECR) and future updates.
- Wider guidance from the Information Commissioners Office – www.ico.org.uk

Where we need your consent, we will ask you for it separately. You do not have to give your consent and you may withdraw your consent at any time. However, if you do not give your consent, or you withdraw your consent, this may affect our ability to provide the insurance cover from which you benefit and may prevent us from providing cover for you or handling your claims.
