The basis upon which our Firm will deal with Your Personal Data
When we speak with you about your insurance requirements we do so on the basis that a both parties are entering a contract for the supply of services.
In order to perform that contract, and to arrange the products you require, we have the right to use Your Personal Data for the purposes detailed below.

For example, we may need to respond to requests from mortgage lenders, insurance providers and our Service Provider relating to the advice we have given to you, or to make contact with you to seek feedback on the service you received.

processing Your Personal Data in order to meet a legal, compliance or other regulatory
obligation to which we are subject.
The basis upon which we will process certain parts of Your Personal Data
Where you ask us to assist you with your insurance needs, in particular life insurance and insurance that may assist you in the event of an accident or illness, we will ask you information about your ethnic origin, your health and medical history ( Your Special Data) . We will record and use Your Special Data in order to make enquiries of insurance providers in relation to insurance products that may meet your needs and to provide you with advice regarding the suitability of any product that may be available to you.
If you have parental responsibility for children under the age of 13, it is also very likely that we will record information on our systems that relates to those children and potentially, to their Special Data.
The arrangement of certain types of insurance may involve disclosure by you to us of information relating to historic or current criminal convictions or offences (together “ Criminal Disclosures ”). This is relevant to insurance related activities such as underwriting, claims and fraud management.
We will use special Data and any Criminal Disclosures in the same way as Your Personal Data generally, as set out in this Privacy Notice.
