- We are required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and

4. How we protect your personal data when sending it abroad
We operate as a global business and hence your personal data will be transferred across geographical borders to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. The laws that apply to the country where the data is transferred may not be equivalent to that in your local jurisdiction (or in the jurisdiction in which we provide the services). Transfers of personal data will be subject to suitable safeguards where appropriate to ensure they have an adequate level of protection e.g. the use of Standard Contractual Clauses.
Please contact us using the details provided under the Contacting Us section if you would like further information regarding the steps we take to protect your personal data when sending it abroad.
▲ Back to Top5. Marketing activities
From time to time we may provide you with information about our products or services or those of our partners that we think will be of interest to you. We may send you this information by email, post or we may contact you by telephone.
We ensure that our marketing activities comply with all applicable legal requirements. In some cases, this may mean that we ask for your consent in advance of sending you marketing materials.
You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time. For example, you can click on the "unsubscribe" link in our marketing emails to unsubscribe from those emails. Alternatively, please contact us using the details provided under the Contacting Us section. In such circumstances, we will continue to send you service-related communications where necessary.
▲ Back to Top6. Profiling and automated decision making
Insurance market participants benchmark insured, beneficiary and claimant attributes and insured event likelihoods in order to determine insurance limits, insurance premiums and fraud patterns. This means that we may compile and analyse data in respect of insureds, beneficiaries and claimants to model such likelihoods. In doing so, we may use personal and commercial data in order to create the models and/or match that data against the models (profiling) to determine both the risk and the premium price based on similar exposures and risks. We also use this information to help us advise insurance companies about the typical levels of insurance coverage that our clients may have in place.
We do not make decisions solely based on automated decision making which produce legal effects or similarly significantly impacts you.
▲ Back to Top7. How long we keep your personal data
We will only keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.
When we no longer need your personal data, we de-identify or aggregate the data (in which case we may retain this de-identified or aggregated data for analytics purposes) or securely destroy it. Please note that anonymised data is not treated as personal data under this Privacy Notice.
We have a detailed retention policy that governs how long we hold different types of information. Please contact us using the details provided under the Contacting Us section for further information regarding how long we keep your personal data.

- Our physical servers are located in secure locations, which can only be accessed by authorised personnel; and

There may be cases where we may not be able to comply with your request (such as where this would conflict with our obligation to comply with other regulatory and/or legal requirements). We will tell you the reason if we cannot comply with your request and we will always respond to any request you make. This will not affect any other legal rights or remedies that you have.
We would always encourage you to contact us if you have any concerns with how we use your personal data and we will do our best to resolve your concerns. Where you feel that we have not addressed your concerns, please contact us using the details provided in the Contacting Us section.

- For requests for access to categories of personal information, we will verify your request to a “reasonable degree of certainty.” This may include matching at least two data points that you would need to provide with data points we maintain about you and that we have determined to be reliable for the purposes of verification.
- For requests for specific pieces of personal information (portability request), we will verify your request to a “reasonably high degree of certainty.” This may include matching at least three data points that you would need to provide with the data points we maintain about you and that we have determined to be reliable for the purposes of verification. We will also require you to submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.
- For requests to delete, we will verify your request to a “reasonable degree” or a “reasonably high degree of certainty” depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm to the consumer posed by unauthorized deletion.
We will use the personal information you provide in a request only for purposes of verifying your identity or authority to make the request.
c) Response Timing and Format
We will respond to a verifiable request within forty- five (45) days of its receipt, and will notify you within those forty-five (45) days if we require more time to respond and the reasons for the additional time.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any information we provide in response to a verified request to know will include information we have collected about you on or after January 1, 2022, including beyond the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the request, unless doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort, or you request data for a specific time period. (Note that the law prohibits us from disclosing at any time a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions and answers, or any unique biometric data.)
If we cannot comply with a request or a portion of the request, we will include the reasons in our response. If we deny your request on the basis that it is impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, we will explain our reasons, such as the data is not in a searchable or readily accessible format, is maintained for only legal or compliance purposes, or is not sold or used for any commercial purpose and our inability to disclose it, delete or correct it would not impact you in any material manner.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
*Please note that in certain cases we may collect your personal information as a service provider (as opposed to a business, as those terms are defined in the CPRA) pursuant to a contract we have with a commercial client (the CPRA business) to provide a service. In such a case, we are required to collect and process your information only based on the instructions received from the business. Should you direct your requests to exercise your rights to us, we may be required to share your request with the business, who is the party responsible under the CPRA for receiving, verifying and responding to your requests, or we may direct you to make your request directly to the business.
