In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, but we will notify you at the time if this is the case.

Some personal information is treated as falling into a special category. This includes information about health, disability, race, ethnicity, political opinions, biometrics or religion.

We have set out below, a description of all the ways we plan to use your data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data, where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.
The lawful bases set out in the table below are those recognised under UK and EU data protection law.

Marketing
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
Third-party marketing - we will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing.
Opting out - you can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you.
Your personal information may be transferred to other third-party organisations in certain scenarios:
Our suppliers and service providers will be required to meet our standards on processing information and security. The information we provide them will only be provided in connection with the performance of their function. They will not be permitted to use your information for any purposes other than those outlined in this privacy notice.
If we are not able to share your information with these third parties, you will not be able to receive our services.
Your personal data may also be shared with third parties if it is made anonymous and aggregated. In such circumstances the information will cease to be personal data.
We share your personal data with our suppliers and service providers, which were described above. This will involve transferring your data outside the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK and the EEA, including in the United States, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and the EEA.
Where a transfer is subject to PIPA, we assess whether the law applying to the overseas recipient gives a level of protection comparable to PIPA. If we cannot reasonably conclude that it does, we put in place contractual clauses or other appropriate measures, or rely on an exception permitted under PIPA. We remain responsible for your personal information after we transfer it.
Whenever we transfer your information out of the UK or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
How long will you use my personal information for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for 6 years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out below please contact us by emailing dataprotectionofficer@unitedrisk.global.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
