Please note that some of the advertisements that We serve may contain code from third-parties. These third-parties may create cookies so that they can understand how many people have seen an advertisement across all the websites it appeared on. We do not share any of our user information with third-parties so the information they can gather by this mechanism is entirely anonymous and will be viewed at an aggregated rather than an individual level.

We use information held about You in the following ways:

  • respond to Your queries;

Where You register to attend certain seminars or presentations at one of Our events hosted by a third party, We may share Your registration information with such third party and with the sponsors of Our events.

Where You indicate that You want Us to share Your details with exhibitors at events (for example, by scanning Your event badge at an exhibitor's stand) We share Your information with those exhibitors.

We employ the services of third party service providers to help Us in certain areas, such as website hosting and maintenance. In some cases the third party may receive Your information. However, at all times, We will control and be responsible for the use of Your information and endeavour to ensure that they process Your personal data in accordance with Our instructions.

We may use aggregated information so We can administer and improve Our website, analyse trends, gather broad demographic information and detect suspicious or fraudulent transactions. We may pass this information to third parties.

Grounds for using your information

By submitting an email via Our “contact us” section, You have consented to Us contacting You in response to Your query, and using Your details for that purpose.

Where You have registered to receive mailings from Us, it is necessary for Us to process Your personal data to fulfil the contract between Us.

Where You have subscribed to services from Us, it is necessary for Us to process Your personal data to fulfil the subscription contract between Us

If You have opted into any of Our mailings (such as events and/or email newsletters and/or to be contacted regarding competitions), You have consented to Us using Your information for this purpose.

Where You register to attend certain seminars or presentations at one of Our events hosted by a third party, Our sharing of Your registration information with such third party and with the sponsors of the event facilitates communication between You and that sponsor and is, We consider, a legitimate business interest.

When We contact You about events or services that may be of interest to You or to ask if You would like to participate in a survey, We treat this as legitimate business interest. The rate at which We send survey requests is infrequent, and there is no obligation to respond, therefore We consider any prejudice to You to be limited, and the legitimate need to seek views of Our contacts outweigh this.

The website uses various cookies (for more details on this, please see COOKIES above), and one of these is used to track what You have looked at on the site. The information that We receive is personalised, so that We can see the activity You completed whilst on the site and personalise Your experience. We also use analytical Cookies. This information is used solely to review how people use the site, for the purposes of improving functionality. These are legitimate interests of the business; therefore We use this information on that basis.

Administering and monitoring the website for misuse and investigating complaints about the website are all legitimate interests of the business.

Security

All information You provide to Us is stored on Our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Where We have given You (or where You have chosen) a password which enables You to access certain parts of Our site, You are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask You not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do Our best to protect Your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of Your data transmitted to Our site; any transmission is at Your own risk. Once We have received Your information, We will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your rights

Access to information

Data Protection legislation gives You the right to access information held about You. Such requests have to be made in writing. To do so please contact Us at admin@insurancedatalab.com.

You also have a right to receive Your personal data in a format that is secure and suitable for re-use.

Changes to your data

Where You are unable to update Your personal data Yourself on Our website, You have the right to ask Us to correct, change, update or rectify Your data.

Data deletion

You have the right to ask Us to delete all or some of the personal data We hold about You. We may need to retain some of Your personal data even after You have closed Your account if reasonably necessary to comply with Our legal obligations, or where We have a legitimate interest in doing so (e.g. to prevent fraud and abuse and maintain and enhance security).

Objection to processing

You may object to processing Your personal information in some circumstances (in particular, where We don’t have to process the information to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where We are using the information for direct marketing). If You object to such processing We will no longer process Your personal information for these purposes unless We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or obligations.

You have the right to ask Us not to process Your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform You (before collecting Your data) if We intend to use Your data for such purposes or if We intend to disclose Your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise Your right to prevent such processing by clicking on the ‘update your preferences’ link that’s included within Our emails or by contacting Us at admin@insurancedatalab.com.

Please note that the withdrawal of Your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.

If You are unsure about Your rights or are concerned about how Your personal data may be processed please contact Us (See CONTACT). If You are still concerned You should contact the Information Commissioner's Office.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area ("EEA")

We may transfer Your personal information to countries outside the EAA where We hold an event in that country. In those cases We shall endeavour to ensure that adequate measures are used to protect Your personal data.

Where We use certain service providers outside the US, We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Where We use providers based in the US, We may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Links

Our websites may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of Our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates over which We have no control. If You follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before You submit any personal data to these websites.

Data retention

We generally retain data for as long as Your account is in existence or as needed to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. However, specific retention times can vary based on context of the processing We perform and on Our legal obligations.

Changes to our privacy and cookies policy

Any changes We make to Our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to You by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes.
