HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Before we provide services, goods or financing to you, we undertake checks for the purposes of preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify your identity. These checks require us to process personal data about you.

The processing of the information you provide is necessary for the performance of the contract, including:

  • Providing quotes;
  • Performing vehicle and licence checks and validating information provided to us;
  • Maintaining and updating your policy record;
  • Administering your policy including handling claims;
  • The renewal of your policy;
  • Processing any claim that you or someone else makes;
  • Understanding our customer’s needs and requirements;
  • Analysing and research of products and services provided in the Group;
  • To inform you about and promote products (marketing);
  • Analysing the premium, and terms and conditions we offer where automated decision making applies;
  • Performing credit checks and validating information provided to us;
  • Dealing with complaints;
  • Preventing financial crime to meet our legal obligations;
  • Prospective buyers or purchasers in the event Complete Cover Group Limited wishes to sell all or part of its business;

Where we process special categories of data (including data relating to health or criminal convictions), we will do this on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of your insurance contract and for reasons of substantial public interest.

AUTOMATING DECISION MAKING, INCLUDING PROFILING

We may use profiling and automated decision making, to; assess insurance risks, detect fraud, and administer your policy. As part of the processing of your personal data, ‘accept’ or ‘decline’ decisions may be made by automated means. This means we may automatically decide that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk if:

  • our processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with that of known fraudsters or money launderers; or is inconsistent with your previous submissions; or
  • you appear to have deliberately hidden your true identity.

This helps us decide whether to offer you insurance, determine prices and validate claims. If you disagree with the outcome of an automated decision please contact us and we will review the decision.

We also use computer systems to carry out modelling. Sometimes using your personal information and sometimes using data in anonymised form. We conduct this modelling for a variety of reasons, for example, for risk assessment purposes to make decisions about you, such as your likelihood to claim.

However, we may also use your personal information in that modelling to make decisions about how we improve and develop our products and services, or our pricing, or to better understand how our prospective customers make decisions about which policy is the optimal policy (i.e., we are not making decisions directly about you).
