- Communicating with you
It is very important to us that we provide a service that meets the expectations of our customers. In order to assist us in doing this, where you have given us consent, we may use the information you supply to contact you by phone, e-mail, SMS or otherwise to tell you about products and services which may be of interest to you. For example, these services could include the following:
– Our newsletter;
– New product launches;
– Reminders about our service in 11 months time;
– Future surveys/research.
When given permission to do so, we may also share personal information about you with our trusted partners. If you prefer to opt out of such direct marketing activity, please click here or contact us using our simple form. You will also be given an opportunity to opt out when we send you any marketing emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link in each email.
However, please remember that by opting out, we will not be able to contact you about products or services that may benefit you.
For home insurance quotes, where you have provided your telephone number, the two providers who offer you the best price may contact you to discuss your quote further.
We may also contact you around 11 months after you have completed your quote in order to provide you with an indication of what your quotes could be for your next renewal. We will use the data that we hold on you in order to search the websites of our partners in order to do this. Some of our partners will carry out credit and data checks as part of this process (see paragraph 6 below for further information on the types of checks that may be undertaken).

- Credit and data checks
Some of our product and service providers will carry out checks with credit reference and fraud prevention agencies in order to verify your identity, assess your application for a quotation or credit and offer you the best terms. The checks may be against both public data (such as information from the electoral roll) and private data (such as your credit history) The providers do not make these checks purely because you are using our service, and may make them if you request a quote via any other source.
A record of the search will appear on your credit report. Some product providers may also carry out checks against data they already hold on you (or is held by the company whose brand they administer the product for, or members of their group of companies) such as data from existing products, account data or loyalty scheme data. They may use this data to help them assess and rate your application for a quote and determine your premiums. They may also pass this data to their insurance underwriters for these purposes where applicable.

- Crime and fraud prevention
We may share data with third parties including our product and service providers or the police and fraud prevention agencies if we believe that it is reasonably required for the prevention or detection of crime or fraud or to protect our customers. Data may also be released to third parties if we are required to do so under the terms of a court order.

- Sensitive personal data
