5. Marketing activities
From time to time, we may provide you with information about our products or services or those of our partners that we think will be of interest to you. We may send you this information by email, LinkedIn, SMS, text, post or we may contact you by telephone. We may also share your personal data with the RMP Group of Companies so that they can provide you with information about their products and services we believe will be of interest to you. We ensure that our marketing activities comply with all applicable legal requirements. In some cases, this may mean that we ask for your consent in advance of sending you marketing materials.

Alternatively, please contact us using the details provided under the Contact us section. In such circumstances, we will continue to send you service-related communications where necessary.
6. Profiling and automated decision-making
Insurance market participants benchmark insured, beneficiary and claimant attributes and risk factors, and insured event likelihoods in order to determine insurance limits, insurance premiums and fraud patterns. This means that we compile and analyze data in respect of insureds, beneficiaries and claimants to model such likelihoods. In doing so, we use personal and commercial data in order to create the models and/or match that data against the models (profiling) to determine both the risk and the premium price based on similar exposures and risks. We also use this information to help us advise insurance companies about the typical levels of insurance coverage that our clients may have in place.
We will only make automated decisions about you where:
- Such decisions are necessary for entering into a contract (e.g., we may decide not to offer services to you, the types or amount of services that are suitable for you, or how much to charge you for services based on your credit history or financial or related information we have collected about you);
- Such decisions are required or authorized by law (e.g., fraud prevention purposes); or
- You give your consent for us to carry out automated decision-making. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
These automated decisions may have a legal or similar effect on you, namely, your eligibility for or access to products or services.
We may also make automated decisions based on your personal data or browsing history to send you personalized offers, discounts or recommendations, subject to any applicable local laws and regulations. These automated decisions will not have legal or similar effects for you.
Subject to local laws and regulations, you can contact us to request further information about our automated decision-making, object to our use of automated decision-making, or request that an automated decision be reviewed by a human being.
7. How long we keep your personal data
We keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice based on our business needs and legal requirements.
When we no longer need your personal data, we de-identify or aggregate the data or securely destroy it based on our retention policy. Please note that de-identified or aggregated data is not treated as personal data under this Privacy Notice and may be used for analytics purposes.
We have a detailed retention policy that governs how long we hold different types of information. Please contact us using the details provided under the Contact us section for further information regarding how long we keep your personal data.
