The Data We Collect from You

The information that we collect varies depending on your enquiry; all information that you are required to submit is necessary to provide the services or product information you are looking for.

Our site enables people to request quotes or information for the product or service shown or selected on this site (the “Product or Service”).

The service that our site provides is to connect people who are looking to purchase the Product or Service with relevant providers of the Product or Service.

We do not knowingly, deliberately or aim to, collect personal data from children under the age of 18, either for registration or for marketing purposes.

We collect the following data from you:

Registration and Profile Data: When you register with us or use one of our enquiry forms we will take information from you including your name, postal address, and/or postal code, email address and telephone number.

Survey Responses and other information: When you complete an enquiry form or any survey with us the information you provide will also be collected by us and supplied to the relevant Selected Partner (also referred to as Service Providers, Product and Service Providers or Survey Sponsor).

From time to time, we change our forms, and so they may ask you for other information. It will always be clear from the form what information we’re requesting, and we only request information that is relevant to your request, and the service that we’re providing.

Once we’ve received your request (or sign-up, enquiry), we’ll connect you with one or more relevant Service Providers (Our Partners, Product and Service Providers). You’ll see on our webform that we have a really clear consent statement. This statement sets out the Service Providers that will contact you. You don’t have to buy from any of them and there’s no obligation to purchase.

We’ll tell the Service Providers who you are, and your Product requirements, and they’ll then contact you directly with your requested Quotes &/or requested Information.

Our partners including companies whose products or services are included on our Sites, with a view to them providing you with a quote, online quote, information or eligibility score for the product/service requested by you.

Some partners with whom we share your information may use it to carry out research such as analysis of market trends and customer demographics and to customise and develop the product/service which they offer to you or other individuals in the future;

You don’t have to buy from any of them and there’s no obligation to purchase.

Cookies Data – please see below.

We only collect such information when you choose to supply it to us. You do not have to supply any personal information to us but you may not be able to take advantage of all the services we or our partners offer without doing so.

Information is also gathered without you actively providing it, through the use of various technologies and methods such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies.

We also store and share Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, as explained on this page.

Every computer or device has an IP address – a unique number – which enables it to communicate with other computers and devices over the Internet. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can access the Internet.

We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, and determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our Site, and to administer and improve the Site. We also store IP addresses in order to stop unwanted traffic (i.e. spam) to our site. For example, if we become aware that spam is coming from a particular IP address (i.e. computer or location), we can block that IP address.

From time to time, we also share IP addresses with Service Providers/Selected Partners to enable Service Providers/Selected Partners to verify that requests for Quotes have come from a particular country.

Cookies also help us to, understand browsing habits on the Sites; understand the number of visitors to the Sites and the pages visited; and remember you when you return to the Site so we can provide you with access to previously saved quotes.

The data will be held by us subject to this policy.

How We Use Your Data

The information with which you provide to us will only be used by us and our selected companies or partners that can provide the relevant service.

The information will be used for analytical and marketing purposes. Your data together with that of other subscribers to our service may also be combined in order of us to build statistical and analytical tables. At no time will your data be individually identifiable in such tables (in other words, no individual user is identified).

Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. We collect for personal information in order to provide you with our service and pass your details on to one of our relevant Service Providers so they can contact you (including by phone) and provide you with more information and assist you with your request, including providing quotes and relevant product information. The information we hold is held securely within Amazon AWS database. Your personal data may be used for one of the following purposes under a legitimate interest or consent basis.

  • With consent, communicate your data to our Service Providers and/or trusted providers. You may object to this processing at any time by contacting us on the details provided below.

  • Improve and personalise our site to you, and this could be where we may market directly to you, about other relevant offers that may be of interest to you based on your preferences

  • Depending on the consents that you have provided and what personal data we hold about you, we may pass your personal data to Service Providers and/or trusted providers (third parties) who may contact you by post, email and telephone for direct marketing purposes.

  • For analysis purposes. Where this is done, the information is aggregated and wherever possible anonymised in line with the ICO’s code of practice. These products are of a marketing nature.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), we send such emails on the basis of the existing customer (soft opt-in) exemption. Where we have identified legitimate interests as the legal basis for our processing, we have conducted a legitimate interests assessment. The legitimate interests can be your interests or our interests. They can include commercial interests, individual interests or broader societal benefits but we need to be able to identify a legitimate interest; show that the processing is necessary to achieve it; and balance it against your interests, rights and freedoms. With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email and telephone and text message and post with information, news, and offers on our products and services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam.

So when you use our service and as an existing user, we would like to email you, or send you text/SMS messages, about similar products and services for which we think you might like quotes or information (“Other Products”). You will always be given an opportunity to opt out of such messages before we send them, and we will not send such messages if you have opted out.

We may also create a custom audience and/or a lookalike/similar audience. Whenever an audience is shared with a Platform (such as Facebook, Google and other similar marketing platforms), the data is first pseudonymised or artificial identifiers – which means that any data within the audience that could identify a person is replaced with an artificial identifier (i.e. removing personally identifiable information from data sets, so that the people whom the data describe remain anonymous).
