Information we collect about you

When you contact us for an insurance quotation we collect the relevant information needed by an insurer to calculate the premium and understand and arrange insurance to meet your needs, and also arrange premium finance where applicable. The information varies dependant on the risk to be insured. It may be necessary to collect sensitive personal data, and/or we may need information (including sensitive personal data) about other members of your household or family (including children) who may also be included as a beneficiary on your policy.

Where this involves passing information to us relating to children you acknowledge that in doing so you are the responsible parent or guardian of the child and are providing explicit consent for us to use this information specifically to fulfil the insurance cover and services requested.

We collect this information

Information is collected during our meetings, telephone conversations, letters, e-mails with you and through the completion of proposal forms and fact finds or via online submission forms.

We store your personal data

• Electronically on our Acturis system

How will your information be used and who might it be shared with

The information we collect will be passed to insurers to enable them to calculate a competitive insurance quotation to meet your requirements and/or handle a claim you are making under the policy.

In order to obtain the most appropriate policy it may be necessary to pass your information to other insurance intermediaries who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Information provided by you may be put onto a register of claims and shared with other insurers to prevent fraudulent claims.

We may share your data with other third parties in order to meet our legal or regulatory requirements. This includes statutory bodies and third parties who request information about you that they need to help prevent or detect crime and fraud or organisations who are responsible for tax or where we are required to give this information under an order of the court or legislation.

Should you wish to pay your premium by instalments we may pass your information to a premium finance provider however, this will not be done without discussing payment options with you first. When applying or taking out credit we will share your data with lenders. Coverdrone Limited, or the lenders, may carry out anti-money laundering checks and credit underwriting to assess creditworthiness and affordability to meet regulatory or business obligations. Credit checks may include a search of your records (for limited companies this may include directors and the organisation itself) at a credit reference agency. This type of search will leave a footprint that other lenders will be able to see but not the outcome of the search. The type of search made should not have a detrimental effect on the credit rating of an individual.
