At NIG we are aware of the trust you place in us when you buy our products and our responsibility to protect your information.
This notice describes who we are, why we need to collect your information and how we will use it.
We will tell you who we share your information with and how we use it to improve the service we provide to our customers.
We will use your information to give you quotations, and manage your insurance policy, including underwriting and claims handling.
Your information comprises of all the details we hold about you and your transactions and includes information we obtain about you from third parties.
We will only collect the information we need so that we can provide you with the service you expect from us.
From time to time we may need to change the way we use your information. Where we believe you may not reasonably expect such a change we will write to you. When we do so, you will have 60 days to object to the change but if we do not hear from you within that time you consent to that change.
NIG policies are underwritten by U K Insurance Limited (UKI).
During the course of our dealings with you we may need to disclose some of your information to other insurers, third party underwriters, reinsurers, credit reference and fraud prevention and law prevention agencies and other companies that provide service to us or you, to:
We do not disclose your information to anyone outside the Group except where:
From time to time we may require services from suppliers that are based worldwide and your information will be shared with them for the purposes of providing that service. Where we engage these suppliers we make sure that they apply the same levels of protection, security and confidentiality we apply. However, such information may be accessed by law enforcement agencies and other authorities to prevent and detect crime and comply with legal obligations.
We are also required to supply employers' liability insurance policy details to the Employers' Liability Tracing Office (ELTO). These details will be added onto the Employers' Liability Database (ELD), which will be managed by ELTO. This database will be accessible by any claimants and will assist claimants who have suffered an employment related injury or disease arising out of their course of employment in the UK, to find the insurer that was providing employers’ liability cover during their relevant period of employment and also to find the relevant employers’ liability insurance policies.
Information relating to your policy will be added to the Motor Insurance Database (MID) managed by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). MID and the data stored on it may be used by certain statutory and/or authorized bodies including the police, the DVLA, the DVANI, the Insurance Fraud Bureau and other bodies permitted by law for purposes not limited to but including:
If you are involved in a road traffic accident (either in the UK, the EEA or certain territories), insurers and or the MIB may search the MID to obtain relevant information.
Persons (including his or her appointed representatives) pursuing a claim in respect of a road traffic accident (including citizens of other countries) may also obtain relevant information which is held on MID.
It is vital that the MID holds your correct registration number. It is our responsibility to update your policy to the MID. We fully comply with the agreements in place with the MIB to update your details within seven days; however it is important that you check your policy documents, ensuring that the registration number is recorded correctly.
If it is incorrectly shown on the MID you are at risk having your car seized by the Police. You can check that your correct registration number is shown in the MID at www.askMID.com. If the registration number is not shown correctly on your policy documents, or you cannot find your car on the MID, please contact us immediately.
Some of the personal information we ask you for may be sensitive personal information, as defined by the Data Protection Act 1998 (such as information about health or criminal convictions). We will not use such sensitive personal data about you or others except for the specific purpose for which you provide it and to provide the services described in your policy documents.
You will have been asked to agree to this when you first contacted us but please ensure that you only provide us with sensitive information about other people with their agreement.
It is our policy to deal with your spouse or partner who calls us on your behalf, provided they are named on the policy. If you would like someone else to deal with your policy on your behalf on a regular basis please let us know. In some exceptional cases we may also deal with other people who call on your behalf, with your consent. If at any time you would prefer us to deal only with you, please let us know.
