We may also collect information based on how you interact with our Services and/or other Internet or network activity (e.g., your online browsing history or mobile device information). Below are more details on the types of personal data or information we collect.

What Personal Data or Information do we collect when you interact with us online?

PERSONAL DATA PROVIDED BY YOU

In order to provide Services to you, we may ask you to provide personal data or information.

Some of the personal data that you provide may be considered ‘special category’ (also known as ‘sensitive’) data or information. By sensitive data, we mean data relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation, and can sometimes be inferred from other, non-sensitive personal data that you have provided. Any special category personal data that you provide will only be collected where it is necessary to enter into and handle your insurance policy which includes any claims made under your policy.

Specifically, the information we may collect includes, amongst other things, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, gender, date of birth, passport number, bank account details, credit history, claims history, citizenship status, and marital status depending on the service you are seeking and the jurisdiction you are in. The person-related data you are being asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear in this policy or at the point at which we ask for such information.

If you create an account, we collect information to set up your account, like a username or password. If you file a claim with us or someone sets one up on your behalf, like your broker, we may collect information necessary to process claims including medical history, health-related information, background checks, claims history and public records of criminal convictions.

PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT WHEN YOU INTERACT WITH US ONLINE

When you interact with us online, we may collect certain information from your device with your prior consent. In some countries, including countries in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and European Economic Area (“EEA”), this information may be considered personal data under applicable data protection laws.

Specifically, the personal data we are seeking to collect with your prior consent includes data like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser type, broad geographic location (e.g., country or city-level location) and other technical information. We may also collect data about how your device has interacted with our online services, including the pages accessed and links clicked.

Collecting this data enables us to better understand visitors to our website, where they come from, and what content online is of interest to them. We use this data for internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality and relevance of our online website to our visitors.

Some of this personal data may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained in our Cookie Policy, which can be found here.

PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION THAT WE OBTAIN FROM THIRD-PARTY SOURCES

From time to time, we may receive your personal data or information from third-party sources but only where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal data or information to us.

For example, if you are an individual who is obtaining insurance from us via an insurance broker, we may obtain data about you from your broker in order to help us prepare your quote and/or your insurance policy. For information about how your broker uses and shares your personal data or information, please refer to the broker’s own privacy statement.

We may, where we are legally permitted to, also collect personal data or information from the following sources in order to provide Services to you:

Credit reference agencies;
Anti-fraud and other databases;
Government agencies;
Electoral register;
Court judgments;
Sanctions lists;
Family members; and
In the event of an insurance claim: the other party to the claim, witnesses, experts, loss adjusters, solicitors and claims handlers.

How is Personal Data or Information used and what are the lawful bases we rely on?

The legal basis on which we rely to collect and process your personal data or information will vary depending on the personal data or information itself, the specific purpose for which we collect it, and the jurisdiction you are in.

Generally, we will collect and use (“process”) your personal data information, including sensitive data, where such processing is necessary for the following:

1. For the performance of a contract with you

In many cases, the processing of your personal data is based on the existence and necessity for the performance of your contract with us or on the necessity to take pre-contractual steps following your request. We will rely on this contractual lawful basis in order to carry out the following activities:

To set you up as a new client or when you sign up for an online account;
To provide you with an insurance quote;
To provide Services to you;
To accept payments from you;
To communicate with you about your policy or account;
To renew your policy;
To respond to your enquiries;
To process insurance claims; or
For general insurance administration purposes.

2.For our legitimate interests

To conduct data analysis, which helps us assess, manage and model our risks, price our Services appropriately and improve our Services;
To defend or prosecute legal claims;
To investigate or prosecute fraud;
To obtain reinsurance for your policy;
To process reinsurance claims;
To perform audits;
To develop new Services;
To secure our network and our website, debug the website and repair errors; or
To manage our business efficiently.

3. In order for us to comply with our legal obligations

We may also have to process personal data or information in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, such as in the following situations:

In order to complete ‘know your customer’, sanctions enquiries or money laundering checks before taking you on as a new client;
in order to establish a contract between you and us;
in order to develop our business activity;
in order to manage professional alerts like whistleblowing; or
in order to apply your rights related to the protection of your data.

4. Where we have your consent

In certain circumstances, we may process data on the basis of your consent. You will always be specifically informed of this when your consent is collected.

5. To protect your vital interests or those of any other person

We may process your personal data on the basis of vital interests but only where it is necessary to protect a life and where you are not physically or legally capable of giving consent.

In addition to the above, based on the jurisdiction of where you are a resident or where your personal data or information is processed, we will comply with all relevant data protection laws.

Please note that you are under no obligation to provide personal data or information to us. However, if you choose to withhold requested data, we may not be able to provide you with Services.

If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us" section below.

Who is your Personal Data or Information shared with?

We may disclose your personal data with the following categories of recipients:

To our group companies, third-party service providers and partners who provide data processing services (for example, data hosting and storage companies, email marketing affiliates, and payment and claims processing companies) or who otherwise process personal data or information for purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy (see (“How is Personal Data or Information used and what are the lawful bases we rely on?);
To other third parties, such as financial institutions, credit bureaus, insurance producers or other similar entities in connection with our services. We may also share information with select insurers and reinsurers to provide and administer the Services and your policy;
To any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;
To a potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, providing them the legal basis we processed your personal data; and/or
To any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

We do not sell (or transfer) your personal data or information for monetary compensation.

If you are a U.S. resident, from time to time, we may share your personal data or information with third parties for certain purposes that may be considered a sale under certain applicable laws. For more information on the type of data we may share in this manner, please contact us.

International Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.

Specifically, the servers of HCC Insurance Holdings Inc. are located in the United States. However, other TMHCC group companies are registered elsewhere, including in the EEA and operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal data, we may process it in any of these countries.

When transferring personal data to other countries we will protect your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise disclosed to you.

We have implemented Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal data they process from the EEA, UK and Switzerland in accordance with EU, UK and Swiss data protection laws (our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided on request).

We may also transfer personal data to countries for which adequacy decisions have been issued, use contractual protections for the transfer of personal data to third-party service providers and partners, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent under applicable law, or rely on other data transfer mechanisms relevant to your jurisdiction.

You may contact us as specified in the “Contact Us” section below to obtain a copy of the safeguards we use to transfer personal data outside of your jurisdiction.

How long is your Personal Data or Information retained for?

We will keep your personal data or information on our records for as long as we have an ongoing legislative or legitimate business need to do so. This includes providing you with a Service you have requested from us or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements. It also includes keeping your data for so long as there is any possibility that you or we may wish to bring a legal claim under your insurance contract, or where we are required to keep your data for legal or regulatory reasons. We may also retain your personal data where such retention is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

If you wish to receive further information regarding our record retention policy and procedures, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us" section below.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Depending upon where you reside or where your personal data or information is processed, you may have some or all of the rights or choices listed below regarding your personal data or information:

Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you wish to exercise the rights described above and are entitled to do so, we may ask you to verify your identity.

There may be situations where we will be unable to grant or completely fulfil your request. If we are unable to grant your request, we shall provide a written explanation to explain the rationale for our decision and action.

Although the right of access always applies in specific jurisdictions, there are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process.

If you wish to complain about how we have handled your personal data or information, your applicable law may require you to resolve the issue with the person you have been dealing with. If you are still not satisfied, contact us using the details set out in the “Contact us” section at the bottom of this page. We will use the information detailed in your complaint to investigate and resolve the issue and to provide feedback to our staff or business areas.

Automated decision making

In some instances, our use of your personal data may result in automated decisions being taken (including profiling) that legally affect you or similarly significantly affect you.

Automated decision-making is the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement on the basis of a computer determination (using software algorithms). For example, in certain instances, we may use automated decisions to establish whether we will offer insurance coverage to a prospective insured. We have implemented measures to safeguard the rights and interests of individuals whose personal data is subject to automated decision-making.

We will only use automated decision-making when it is necessary for the entry into or performance of the contract; or is authorised by applicable domestic law; or is based on your explicit consent.

In certain countries, when we make an automated decision about you, you have the right to contest the decision, to express your point of view, and to require a human review of the decision.

Marketing

Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not use your personal data or information to send you marketing materials if you have requested not to receive them.

If you request that we stop processing your personal data information for marketing purposes, we shall stop processing your personal data for those purposes. If you wish to unsubscribe at any point you can do so by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you or by sending an email to [email protected] (worldwide excluding EU and U.S.), [email protected] (for EU) or [email protected] (for the U.S.).

Security

TMHCC places great importance on the security of all personal data or information associated with consumers and our customers. We have security measures in place designed to protect against the unauthorized access, acquisition, loss, misuse and alteration of personal data under our control, our security policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary.

While we cannot ensure or guarantee that our physical, technical and administrative security measures can prevent the unauthorized access, acquisition loss, misuse or alteration of your data will ever occur, we will use reasonable and appropriate measures to prevent this. If you have any concerns that your TMHCC account or personal data information has been put at risk, please contact us.

Children’s data

Our websites and applications are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data directly from children under 16. If you believe that we are processing personal data pertaining to a child inappropriately, we ask you to contact us using the data provided under the “Contact Us” section.

Where you visit any linked websites or social media tools not owned or controlled by TMHCC, we encourage you to review their privacy notices/policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. When we update our Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you.
