Privacy and Cookies Policy

Alarminsure (“us”) is data controller of your information and takes its responsibilities regarding privacy and security of customer information very seriously. This policy explains how we use information about our customers and how we protect your privacy.

By your using this web site and/or supplying information on it, you confirm that you agree to the collection and/or use of your personal information by us in accordance with this privacy policy.

Personal Information

We know privacy is important to you and so we promise to use your information in accordance with this privacy policy.

We will only request information from you which is necessary for the evaluation of your application for insurance and, if such application is accepted by us, for the creation, operation and administration of your insurance policy. Any personal information you provide to us including your (and any other person’s for who you are seeking to arrange insurance) name, address, date of birth, telephone number and e-mail address, will not be used by us or released, sold, or rented to any entities or individuals outside of Security Industries Specialist Services except as set out in this privacy policy.

We hold personal data on security systems designed to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data.

We will hold up to-date accurate information about you, as a client, which you can check by contacting us.  If your information is incorrect or incomplete we will amend your information as soon as possible on your instruction.

To protect your privacy and security, Alarminsure may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or making the requested alterations.

We will not transfer your data outside the EU. Your insurers and/or their third party agents may pass data outside the EU and if so, we will seek their confirmation that this is adequately protected.

Use of Personal Information

We will use the information we collect from you to enable:

  • the preparation and provision of quotations for insurance (including medical screening)
  •  the sale and administration of insurance policies including the sending of renewal notices.
  •  claims handling and administration;
  •  system administration.
  •  the measurement and assessment of customer statistics; and
  •  us or other subsidiary companies to offer you other products or services tailored to your needs and which we think may be of interest to you – unless you have opted out of such use – see below.

Disclosure Of Personal Information

We will not disclose any of your information outside our group (being, us, or subsidiaries, or holding companies and their subsidiaries) except: with your consent; or

  •  to insurance companies, underwriters, medical screening providers and service providers for the purposes of evaluating your application for insurance, underwriting and for claims assessment and handling purposes; or
  •  to credit reference and fraud prevention agencies for the purposes of identity verification. Such organisations may record, disclose and use that information to lenders and insurers who may use that information for debt tracing and for the prevention of fraud and the prevention of money laundering; or
  •  to persons who act as our agents or other service providers in connection with the issue of your insurance policy and the operation and administration (including claims handling) of that policy; or
  •  to anyone whom we may transfer our rights and duties under any agreement we may have with you; or
  •  where we are required or permitted to do so by law.

Data Protection

In accordance with Data Protection legislation, including General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we are advising you that any personal and/or sensitive data requested from you will be stored securely and will only be used in order to manage the contract of business, including insurance requirements, we are arranging for you where we have a legal obligation in handling your data. We may also have a legitimate interest in handling your data when dealing with third parties, such as your insurers. This information will only be made available to third parties, such as insurers or their claims handling agents, in order to further manage and service your insurance policy.

We will retain your information for a period of time which is necessary to ensure no further liability, such as any insurance claims, exists. This period will normally be 7 years from expiry of the policy but may be extended for certain types of business.

The types of data vary but typically include name, address, email address, telephone number and date of birth. Other details may be needed depending on the type of insurance required.

For certain types of business we may require sensitive information from you in order to arrange your insurance requirements or service any claims, for example, medical records, which may involve passing such information to insurers or their claims handling agents. If required we will seek your consent to this.

We will not transfer your data outside the EU. Your insurers and/or their third party agents may pass data outside the EU and if so, we will seek their confirmation that this is adequately protected.

You have the right to:-

  •  See a copy of the personal information we hold about you, free of charge
  •  Ask us to delete any of your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for continuing to hold it.
  •  To have any inaccurate or misleading data corrected or deleted
  •  Restrict the processing of your data
  •  Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office if you are unhappy with the manner in which we store or handle your data.

If you provide data to us about other people you must provide this notice to them before you pass their data to us. You must obtain their consent if this includes sensitive data such as health or criminal record data.

If at any time you wish to know what information we hold on you, or have any queries relating to the above, please contact us.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

When you request a quotation or apply to purchase an insurance policy online (where applicable on our websites) we use secure socket layer technology (SSL) that encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.

We also follow security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which has been given to us, to provide an adequate level of security for that information.

It is important to remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
