Information Security and Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23.05.2022 www.activeinsurance.co.uk ('Website') is provided by Anthony William Lennon, trading as Active Insurance Services

('we'/'us'/'our'). In doing so, we may be in a position to receive and process personal information relating to

you. As the controller of this information, we're providing this Privacy Notice ('Notice') to explain our approach

to personal information. This Notice forms part of our Web Site Terms Of Use, which governs the use of this

Website.

We intend only to process personal information fairly and transparently as required by data protection law

including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In particular, before obtaining information from

you (including through use of cookies) we intend to alert you to this Notice, let you know how we intend to

process the information (including through use of cookies) and (unless processing is necessary for at least

one of the 5 reasons outlined in clause 2 below) we'll only process the information if you consent to that

processing. The GDPR also defines certain 'special categories' of personal information that's considered

more sensitive. These categories require a higher level of protection, as explained below.

Of course, you may browse parts of this Website without providing any information about yourself and

without accepting cookies. In that case, it's unlikely we'll possess and process any information relating to

you.

We'll start this Notice by setting out the conditions we must satisfy before processing your data. However,

you may wish to start with this table at clause 5, which summarises what we intend to collect, or this table at

clause 9.5, which summarises our use of cookies. The Notice also explains some of the security measures

we take to protect your personal information, and tells you certain things we will or won't do. You should read

this Notice in conjunction with the Web Site Terms Of Use.

Sometimes, when you take a new service or product from us, or discuss taking a new service or product but

decide against it, we might wish to provide you with further information about similar services or products by

email or other written electronic communication. In that situation, we'll always give you the opportunity to

refuse to receive that further information and you can change your mind at any point (opt-out) by contacting

our Data Protection Officer (DPO) as set in clause 1.3. We'll endeavour to remind you of your right to opt-out

on each occasion that we provide such information.

2. When we're allowed to collect information from you

purpose or purposes that we will have specified.

2.2 The processing is necessary for the performance a contract that we have with you.

2.4 The processing is necessary to protect someone's life.

2.5 The processing is necessary for performance of a task that's in the public interest.

2.6 The processing is necessary for our or another's legitimate interest - but in this case, we'll balance

those interests against your interests.

3. How to consent

3.1 At the point of collecting the information, we'll endeavour to explain how we intend to use the

information and which of these purposes apply. If we rely on consent, we'll provide you with the

opportunity to tell us that you're happy to provide the information.

3.2 If at any point in time you change your mind and decide that you don't consent, please let us know

and we'll endeavour to stop processing your information in the specified manner, or we'll delete

your data if there is no continuing reason for possessing it.

3.3 If you don't consent to a particular bit of processing, we'll endeavour to ensure that the Website

and our service continue to operate without the need for that information.

4. Sensitive information

4.1 Certain information we collect may be considered to be in a special category of personal

information. In particular, it may relate to your health.

4.2 If we do collect such information as specified in clause 4.1, we'll also ensure that one of the

additional reasons for processing outlined in Article 9 of the GDPR applies.

4.3 It's likely that we'll need to process information relating to criminal convictions or offences or

related security measures. If we do so, we'll make sure we comply with the extra conditions set

out in the GDPR and supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018. This will normally be where

5.3 If you refuse to provide information requested, then if that information is necessary for a service

we provide to you we may need to stop providing that service.

5.4 At the time of collecting information, by whichever method is used, we'll endeavour to alert you

and inform you about our purposes and legal basis for processing that information, as well as

whether we intend to share the information with anyone else or send it outside of the European

Economic Area. If at any point you think we've invited you to provide information without

explaining why, feel free to object and ask for our reasons.

6. Using your personal information

6.1 Data protection, privacy and security are important to us, and we shall only use your personal

information for specified purposes and shall not keep such personal information longer than is

necessary to fulfil these purposes. The following are examples of such purposes. We have also

indicated below which GDPR justification applies, however it will depend on the circumstances of

each case. At the time of collecting we will provide further information, and you may always ask for

further information from us.

6.1.1 To help us to identify you when you contact us. This will normally be necessary for the

performance our contract.

6.1.2 To help us to identify accounts, services and/or products which you could have from us

or selected partners from time to time. We may do this by automatic means using a

scoring system, which uses the personal information you've provided and/or any

information we hold about you and personal information from third party agencies

(including credit reference agencies). We will only use your information for this purpose

if you agree to it.

6.1.3 To help us to administer and to contact you about improved administration of any

accounts, services and products we have provided before, do provide now or will or

may provide in the future. This will often be necessary, but sometimes the

improvements will not be necessary in which case we will ask whether you agree.

6.1.4 To allow us to carry out marketing analysis and customer profiling (including with

transactional information), conduct research, including creating statistical and testing

information. This will sometimes require that you consent, but will sometimes be exempt

as market research.

6.1.5 To help to prevent and detect fraud or loss. This will only be done in certain

circumstances when we consider it necessary or the law requires it.

6.1.6 To allow us to contact you by written electronic means (such as email, text or

multimedia messages) about products and services offered by us where:

6.1.6.1 these products are similar to those you have already purchased from us,

6.1.6.2 you were given the opportunity to opt out of being contacted by us at the

time your personal information was originally collected by us and at the

time of our subsequent communications with you, and

6.1.6.3 you have not opted out of us contacting you.

6.1.7 To allow us to contact you in any way (including mail, email, telephone, visit, text or

multimedia messages) about products and services offered by us and selected partners

where you have expressly consented to us doing so.

6.1.8 We may monitor and record communications with you (including phone conversations

and emails) for quality assurance and compliance.

6.1.8.1 Before doing that, we will always tell you of our intentions and of the

specific purpose in making the recording. Sometimes such recordings will

be necessary to comply with the law. Alternatively, sometimes the recording

will be necessary for our legitimate interest, but in that case we'll only

record the call if our interest outweighs yours. This will depend on all the

circumstances, in particular the importance of the information and whether

we can obtain the information another way that's less intrusive.

6.1.8.2 If we think the recording would be useful for us but that it's not necessary

we'll ask whether you consent to the recording, and will provide an option

for you to tell us that you consent. In those situations, if you don't consent,

the call will either automatically end or will not be recorded.

6.1.9 When it's required by law, we'll check your details with fraud prevention agencies. If you

provide false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we intend to record this.

6.2 We will not disclose your personal information to any third party except in accordance with this

Notice, and in particular in these circumstances:

6.2.1 They will be processing the data on our behalf as a data processor (where we'll be the

data controller). In that situation, we'll always have a contract with the data processor as

set out in the GDPR. This contract provides significant restrictions as to how the data

processor operates so that you can be confident your data is protected to the same

degree as provided in this Notice.

6.2.2 Sometimes it might be necessary to share data with another data controller. Before

doing that we'll always tell you. Note that if we receive information about you from a

third party, then as soon as reasonably practicable afterwards we'll let you know; that's

required by the GDPR.

Data and who we share it with:

Software and System Providers including but not limited to:

SSP Limited

BriefYourMarket, Reapit Software, Sage, Iam-Sold

Website Hosts and analytics platform providers including but limited to:

BriefYourMarket, Google Analytics

6.2.3 Alternatively, sometimes we might consider it to be in your interest to send your

information to a third party. If that's the case, we'll always ask whether you agree before

sending.

6.3 Where you give us personal information on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have

provided them with the information set out in this Notice and that they have not objected to such

use of their personal information.

6.4 In connection with any transaction which we enter into with you:

6.4.1 We may carry out one or more credit checks where you have given us your express

consent.

6.4.2 We may carry out one or more fraud prevention checks with licensed fraud prevention

agencies.

6.4.3 We and they may keep a record of the search. Information held about you by these

agencies may be linked to records relating to other people living at the same address

with whom you are financially linked. These records may also be taken into account in

credit and fraud prevention checks. Information from your application and payment

details of your account will be recorded with one or more of these agencies and may be

shared with other organisations to help make credit and insurance decisions about you

and members of your household with whom you are financially linked and for debt

collection and fraud prevention. This includes those who have moved house and who

have missed payments.

6.4.4 If you provide false or inaccurate information to us and we suspect fraud, we will record

this and may share it with other people and organisations. We, and other credit and

insurance organisations, may also use technology to detect and prevent fraud.

6.4.5 If you need details of those credit agencies and fraud prevention agencies from which

we obtain and with which we record information about you, please write to our Data

Protection Officer as detailed in clause 1.3.

6.4.6 We may need to transmit the payment and delivery information provided by you during

the order process for the purpose of obtaining authorisation from your bank.

6.5 We may allow other people and organisations to use personal information we hold about you in

the following circumstances:

6.5.1 If we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired or are in the process of being

acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us, about our

customers, will be one of the transferred assets.

6.5.2 If we have been legitimately asked to provide information for legal or regulatory

purposes or as part of legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.

6.5.3 We may employ companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf and we

may disclose your personal information to these parties for the purposes set out above,

for example, for fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email,

removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing

assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links) and

providing customer service. Those parties will be bound by strict contractual provisions

with us and will only have access to personal information needed to perform their

functions, and they may not use it for any other purpose. Further, they must process the

personal information in accordance with this Notice and as permitted by the GDPR.

From time to time, these other people and organisations to whom we may pass your

personal information may be outside the European Economic Area. We will take all

steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely

and in accordance with this Notice and the GDPR.

7. Protecting information

7.1 We have strict security measures to protect personal information.

7.2 We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets

Layer (SSL) software to encrypt information you input.

7.3 We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of

course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during

order processing.

7.4 We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection,

storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures

mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information

to you.

7.5 It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your

computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

8. The internet

mind.

8.2 Please remember that communications over the internet, such as emails and webmails

(messages sent through a website), are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your

nature of the internet. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of

personal information that is beyond our control.
