What we do with your data

• in the course of administering a (re)insurance contract which you are a party to; or
• in circumstances where you have specifically consented to such processing (you are entitled to revoke your consent at any time upon written notice to us).

More information on lawful bases of processing personal data in the Insurance Market is set out in the LMA Insurance Market Information Notice.

The right of erasure (or to be forgotten) applies where:

• the personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and used, e.g. you no longer have an insurance contract provided by us on one or more of our (re)insurance carrier partners; or
