Why do we collect your personal information?

We collect personal information so you can use the services we provide. Without your personal information, we won’t be able to fulfil our contractual obligations and provide you with all necessary services that we offer.

As an insurance business, we need to obtain information about individuals who are covered in an insurance policy, or individuals that are beneficiaries of an insurance policy, or have made claims under an insurance policy, or in some cases individuals who are involved in an incident giving rise to an insurance claim. This is so that we can properly assess the risks associated with providing insurance, administer insurance, and manage our products and services.

If you subscribe / contract one of our services we may use the information we collect to:

underwrite insurance;

make available to you insurance or assistance products or services;

to arrange for the provision of services you request;
