We, at DirectCover, are committed to protecting your privacy. As a result we take security very seriously to protect both you and us. The details that we collect from you are collected lawfully and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and are used entirely for the creation and operation of your insurance policy.
The following information should answer all your questions regarding privacy and security.
How do we use the information you supply?
We will use the information supplied by you to assist with the management of your insurance policy. This includes underwriting and claims handling. We may also disclose it to other insurers, third party underwriters and reinsurers. Your information includes data about your transactions.
Please note that calls to us may be recorded for quality and training purposes. We will hold up to-date accurate information about you, as a client, which you can check by contacting us. If this information is incorrect we will amend your details immediately on your instruction.
Because of the nature of some of our products, it may be necessary for your well-being for us to transfer your details outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By purchasing a policy you consent to us doing so.
How do we make your information secure?
We use the very latest, industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This technology encrypts the information you enter, prevents other computers impersonating your computer and prevents third parties reading or changing your information as it travels over the Internet. If you are unhappy about entering your payment information on-line, then you are more than welcome to call our offices in West Sussex to finalise your booking.
Do we use "cookies"?
"Cookies" are pieces of information that are placed by a Website in a storage place on your computer. Cookies do not contain information that is, in itself, personally identifying. We place cookies on your computer if you have arrived at our site from an advertisement we have paid for, and they are used only to identify sales resulting from the advert. We will also use cookies to track movement through the site. We use this information to improve the journey and information available to you.
In closing
If you choose to enter your personal details here we will not disclose information about you or any of your travelling companions to third party organisations not directly concerned with the issue and operation of your travel insurance. All details will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Our Data Protection Act registration number is Z4750327.
