In this Site, we shall refer to all types of personal information as “Personal Data”.

Our overriding principle is only to collect any of the above Personal Data which we believe to be relevant and required to understand your insurance needs, to conduct our business and to provide better customer service and products.

• Prevent, detect and investigate crime, including fraud and money laundering, and analyze and manage other commercial risks.
• Carry out market research and analysis, including satisfaction surveys.
