How do we use your personal information? We take data protection law seriously, so below we have set out exactly how and why we use your information, and what our legal basis is to be able to use your information in each way. Providing our products and services We may use personal information about you for the purposes listed below. This may be necessary in order for us to enter into and perform the contracts that we make with you when you purchase our products or services, or otherwise to allow us to continue to provide, manage and improve the products and services that we offer.

Automated decision-making We use automated decision-making to make decisions based upon your personal information. For example, when you request a quote for an insurance product from us, the information you provide to us will be entered into a system which will automatically calculate quotes by assessing the level of risk involved, based on the information you give us. This allows us to provide you with quotes quickly, without undertaking a lengthy manual investigation of your circumstances. Verifying your identity We may use your information where it is necessary for us to do so in order to meet our legal obligations to detect and prevent fraud, money-laundering and other crimes. Protecting you and others from harm We may use your information where it is necessary to protect your interests, or the interests of others. This may be required in the event of a criminal activity that has taken place, for example in the event of identity theft, piracy or fraud. Who do we share your personal information with? Sharing your information within Realty Insurances Limited We share the information that you provide to us with our staff so that we can provide our products and services to you. Sharing your information with third parties We need to share your personal information with certain third parties in order to provide you with some of our services. For example, where you request insurance quotations from us or take out an insurance policy, we will need to share your personal information with insurance providers and underwriters, and service providers which enable us to calculate quotations and administer insurance policies. The personal information that we share with these third parties may include sensitive personal information (e.g. health information) where this is necessary for the requested quotations (e.g. for travel insurance). We use two third party payment providers to process payments made to us. If you make a payment over the telephone we will securely process the payment through Worldpay. If you make a payment to us using our website your payment will be processed securely through Sage Pay. There are also certain exceptional circumstances in which we may disclose your information to third parties. This would be where we believe that the disclosure is: Required by law, or in order to comply with judicial proceedings, court orders or legal or regulatory proceedings Necessary to protect the safety of our employees, our property or the public Necessary for the prevention or detection of crime, including exchanging information with other companies or organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

If you have obtained a quote from us, but not purchased any products or services, we will keep your information for three years. How do we protect your personal information? We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this policy. All information you provide to us is stored on both secure servers and in a secure physical location. We follow the payment card industry’s data security standards (PCI-DSS) in order to safeguard your card information.

Where your right to object to such decisions applies, you are entitled to express your point of view, to contest the decision and to ask us to have the decision reviewed by a human.
