HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Your personal information
The main reason we use your information is to help us find insurance for you. We will do this when you ask us to find you a new quote or when we are renewing insurance policies. We only use your information to help provide you with the services you ask for.


You should be aware that our assessment may involve an automated decision to check for customer suitability in finding the right policy for you. We will share your information with insurers, intermediaries, and other service providers as part of this process. This information may include personal and sensitive data such as convictions and offences data. We provide this information for the express purpose of providing a quote, and other companies are not allowed to store your information for any other purpose. We also analyse data to identify products and services that customers may be interested in; this is commonly known as profiling. You have the right to object to the use of profiling activities and the use of automated decision making (services/tools and techniques), however in those situations it may prevent us from being able to provide you with insurance.


We will only engage with legitimate providers in this process and only when we’re sure your data will be treated properly. Other than finding you a quote, we will only share your information with other parties if we are legally obliged to, to prevent crime or to help manage your insurance policies. If we need to provide your information to another company, outside of this, we will ask your permission first.


We’ll also use your information to get in touch with you about your insurance needs and to help manage the products that you buy from us. This includes checking some of the facts and information provided during the application process.


You should remember that, if you share information on public forums, this information may be available to other people. Please take care when using things like social media. If you have a query about your policy, we would recommend you get in touch by emailing compliance@ramasis.co.uk.

STORING YOUR INFORMATION

We use a combination of physical and cloud-based storage to ensure that your information is
stored safely. When we engage service providers who store your information, we always make sure
that your data is held in line with the law. We retain your information for while we need it to provide
the services you’ve asked for. We then keep it for six years so it can be accessed if it is needed for
legal reasons.

provide this free of charge over the telephone. There is no charge if you wish to make a
subject access request for more detailed information. However, there may be a charge to
cover our cost for any onerous request. We will aim to respond to all valid requests within
one month. We may take longer to respond if your request is particularly complex, or it
relates to a particularly large volume of information. If we believe your request is likely to
take over one month, we will engage with you to make you aware of this.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 16 YEARS OLD

If you are under 16, then you should seek your parents’ permission before providing any personal
information. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.
