You have the right to have your data transmitted directly to another data controller where technically feasible.
You have the right to restrict data processing, where this does not conflict with our contractual obligations, where;
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold
- The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data
- We no longer need the data for processing, but the data is required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
- You have objected to the processing of your data pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds for processing override your objection

The data you provide to us will be used by us (or our trusted service providers acting on our behalf) for the following purposes:
- Quotation: Your data will be used to provide you with the best quote with our trusted partners in relation to the insurance services you are requesting a quotation for.
- Policy administration: Your data will be used for the set up, renewal, and administration of your policy for lawful purposes.
- To ensure our insurers and credit providers have the necessary facts to assess your insurance risk, verify your identity, to help prevent fraud and to provide you with their best premium and payment options, they may obtain information from third parties at quotation and renewal and in certain circumstances where policy amendments are requested. This information includes a quotation search from a credit referencing agency. This search will appear on your credit report and will be visible to other credit providers. It will be clear that this is a quotation rather than a credit application by you to pay by monthly instalments.
- We may use scoring methods to assess this application. This information may also be used for debt tracing and the prevention of money laundering as well as the management of your account. Alternatively, we may ask you to provide physical forms of identification.
- Customer Services: Should you need to query, amend or cancel a policy you have taken up with us, we will use your personal data to assist you with the action or enquiry you are contacting us for.

- To contact you in any way (including mail, email, telephone, text or multimedia messages) about products and services offered by us and/or carefully selected partners unless you have previously asked us not to do so. You can opt-out of receiving such information at any time by contacting us.
- Profiling: We will pass your data to Fast Stats for profiling, on the basis of legitimate interests, in order to help us tailor products that will suit your needs. To opt out of data profiling, please email [email protected]
- To show you advertising showcasing our products and services that we think will be of interest to you when you visit other sites around the internet. To help us ensure that you see the most relevant advertisements possible via non-identifiable tracking via services including Google Analytics remarketing, demographics and interest retargeting and Facebook custom audiences.

Telematics
If you have a telematics device, as part of your policy you are required to fit, activate and keep charged a telematics device that will monitor your vehicle and how it is driven.
The data received from your device is used, together with data collected from other 3rd party data sources, to:
- Determine an accurate renewal premium based on how the vehicle is driven.
- Calculate mileage driven against the mileage endorsed on your policy – we will contact you if this is exceeded.
- Confirm that you are operating your device in compliance with your terms
- Validate that the underwriting details given are in accordance with your Statement of Fact.
- Cancel your policy if the vehicle is not driven in accordance with the highway code
- Advise you of adverse weather events that may impact road conditions
- Send notifications and information to help you remain compliant with the terms of your policy
- Help understand the circumstances of any accident or claim, loss or theft and help determine fault
- Help prevent and detect fraud
- Perform statistical analysis to assist us in product assessment and future development
Information recorded from your telematics device will be assessed automatically to generate your driving Fluxscore. This Fluxscore will be based upon a review of your location, direction of travel, time of day, speed and overall journey. This data will be assessed against our internal models of driver behaviour to generate your Fluxscore. You may review your journeys and see how much money you have saved on your renewal via your FluxScore app.
The telematics Smartbox does not identify who is driving the vehicle but telematics data and our assessments of driving behaviour may be linked to an individual, for example when we discuss driving feedback with the policyholder, and in the event of a claim.
If you allow your vehicle to be driven by others during the period of insurance we may discuss with you driver behaviours determined from the telematics data which relate to another driver.
Open Source Data – Information about you or other drivers that is public accessible such as the electoral roll, court judgments, insolvency registers, internet search engines, news articles and sources licensed under the Open Government.
Information submitted for a quotation may be retained by us for a period of 24 months from the date of quotation. Policyholder information will be held for a period of at least 6 years after the ending of the client/insurer relationship.
Quotation data received from aggregators is stored in a separate database on a separate server and stored for a maximum period of 90 days. Any quotation data received from aggregators that is replicated across to our call centre database for any reason is retained on that database for a period of 30 days and then deleted.
All call recordings will be retained for a period of at least 6 years. All emails and documents received will be retained for a period of at least 6 years.
Over the years we have successfully negotiated large discounts for our customers and have only been able to do this because of the quality of the business we provide to our insurer partners. It is vital that we protect these discounts, enabling us to continue offering our customers fantastic prices on great products.
This additional paperwork does generate more work for you and for us, but ultimately our customers benefit from our stringent quality control of new policies. It allows us to accurately underwrite a policy and provide correct cover and pricing, particularly should new information come to light which we were previously unaware of.
A few minutes of your time sending us the documents requested will allow us to continue offering some of the most competitive rates found anywhere in the UK insurance market.

Share information about you with other organisations and public bodies including the Police check and/or file your details with fraud prevention agencies and databases and, if you give us false or inaccurate information
and we suspect fraud, we will record this with ourselves, these agencies and databases. We and other organisations may also search these agencies and databases to:
Help make decisions about the provision and administration of insurance, credit and related services for you and members of your household trace debtors or beneficiaries, recover debt, prevent fraud and to manage your accounts or insurance policies check your identity to prevent money laundering.
Undertake credit searches, additional fraud searches, and other information that is publically available (such as social media). We can supply on request further details of the databases we access or contribute to.
