Why should you read this document?
During the course of dealing with us, we will ask you to provide us with detailed personal
information relating to your business and your employees. This may include information in respect
of their existing circumstances, financial situation and, in some cases, their health and family health
history (Personal Data). This document is important as it allows us to explain to you what we will
need to do with this Personal Data, and the various rights you and your employees have in relation
to Your Personal Data.
What do we mean by “Your Personal Data”?
Your Personal Data means any information that describes or relates to you or your employees’
personal circumstances. The Personal Data may identify each individual directly, for example their
name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number. The Personal Data may also identify them
indirectly, for example, employment situation, physical and mental health history, or any other
information that could be associated with their cultural or social identity.
In the context of providing you with assistance in relation to your insurance requirements the
Personal Data may include:
• Title, names, date of birth, gender, nationality, civil/marital status, contact details, addresses and
documents that are necessary to verify your identity
• Employment and remuneration information, (including salary/bonus schemes/overtime/sick pay/other benefits), employment history
• Bank account details, family circumstances and details of dependents
• Health status and history, details of treatment and prognosis, medical reports (further details are
provided below specifically regarding the processing we may undertake in relation to this type of
information)
• Any pre-existing insurance products and the terms and conditions relating to these
The basis upon which our Firm will deal with Your Personal Data
When we speak with you about your insurance requirements, we do so on the basis that both parties
are entering a contract for the supply of services.
In order to perform that contract, and to arrange the products you require, we have the right to use
Your Personal Data for the purposes detailed below.
Alternatively, either in the course of initial discussions with you or when the contract between us has
come to an end for whatever reason, we have the right to use Your Personal Data provided it is in our
legitimate business interest to do so and your rights are not affected. For example, we may need to respond to requests from insurance providers and our Compliance Service Provider relating to the
advice we have given to you, or to contact you to seek feedback on the service you received.
On occasion, we will use Your Personal data for contractual responsibilities we may owe our regulator
The Financial Conduct Authority, or for wider compliance with any legal or regulatory obligation to
which we might be subject. In such circumstances, we would be processing Your Personal Data in
order to meet a legal, compliance or other regulatory obligation to which we are subject.
The basis upon which we will process certain parts of Your Personal Data
Where you ask us to assist you with your insurance, in particular life insurance and insurance that may
assist you in the event of an accident or illness, we will ask you information about your ethnic origin,
your health and medical history (Your Special Data). We will record and use Your Special Data in order
to make enquiries of insurance providers in relation to insurance products that may meet your needs
and to provide you with advice regarding the suitability of any product that may be available to you.
If you have parental responsibility for children under the age of 13, it is also very likely that we will
record information on our systems that relates to those children and potentially, to their Special Data.
The arrangement of certain types of insurance may involve disclosure by you to us of information
relating to historic or current criminal convictions or offences (together “Criminal Disclosures”). This
is relevant to insurance related activities such as underwriting, claims and fraud management.
We will use special Data and any Criminal Disclosures in the same way as Your Personal Data generally,
as set out in this Privacy Notice.
Information on Special Category Data and Criminal Disclosures must be capable of being exchanged
freely between insurance intermediaries such as our Firm, and insurance providers, to enable
customers to secure the important insurance protection that their needs require.
How do we collect Your Personal Data?
We will collect and record Your Personal Data from a variety of sources, but mainly directly from you.
You will usually provide information during our initial meetings or conversations with you to establish
your circumstances and needs and preferences in relation to insurance. You will provide information
to us verbally and in writing, including email.
We may also obtain some information from third parties, for example, credit checks, information from
your employer, and searches of information in the public domain such as the voters roll. If we use
technology solutions to assist in the collection of Your Personal Data for example software that can
verify your credit status. We will only do this if we have consent from you for us or our nominated
processor to access your information in this manner. With regards to electronic ID checks we would
not require your consent but will inform you of how such software operates and the purpose for which it is used.
What happens to Your Personal Data when it is disclosed to us?
In the course of handling Your Personal Data, we will:
• Record and store Your Personal Data in our paper files, mobile devices and on our computer
systems (email, hard drives, and cloud facilities). This information can only be accessed by
employees and consultants within our Firm and only when it is necessary to provide our service
to you and to perform any administration tasks associated with or incidental to that service
• Submit Your Personal Data to Insurance Product providers / Product providers, both in paper
form and on-line via a secure portal. The provision of this information to a third party is essential
in allowing us to progress any enquiry or application made on your behalf and to deal with any
additional questions or administrative issues that lenders and providers may raise.
• Use Your Personal Data for the purposes of responding to any queries you may have in relation
to any insurance policy you may take out, or to inform you of any developments in relation to
those products and/or polices of which we might become aware
Sharing Your Personal Data
From time to time Your Personal Data will be shared with:
• Insurance providers and/or Product providers
• Third parties who we believe will be able to assist us with your enquiry or application, or who
are able to support your needs as identified. These third parties will include but may not be
limited to, our Compliance Advisers, Insurance/Product specialists, providers of legal services
(in each case where we believe this to be required due to your circumstances).
In each case, your Personal Data will only be shared for the purposes set out in this customer privacy
notice, i.e. to progress your insurance enquiry and to provide you with our professional services.
Please note that this sharing of Your Personal Data does not entitle such third parties to send you
marketing or promotional messages: it is shared to ensure we can adequately fulfil our responsibilities
to you, and as otherwise set out in this Customer Privacy Notice.
Depending on the Insurance product and Insurer chosen, it may involve Your Personal Data being
transferred outside of the European Economic Area.
Security and retention of Your Personal Data
Your privacy is important to us and we will keep Your Personal Data secure in accordance with our
legal responsibilities. We will take reasonable steps to safeguard Your Personal Data against it being
accessed unlawfully or maliciously by a third party.
We also expect you to take reasonable steps to safeguard your own privacy when transferring
information to us, such as not sending confidential information over unprotected email, ensuring
email attachments are password protected or encrypted and only using secure methods of postage
when original documentation is being sent to us.
Your Personal Data will be retained by us either electronically or in paper format for a minimum of six
years, or in instances whereby we have legal right to such information we will retain records
indefinitely.

You can:
• request copies of Your Personal Data that is under our control

• ask us to correct, delete or require us to restrict or stop using Your Personal Data (details as
