      Consent<\/h2>\n\n

      In order to facilitate the provision of insurance cover and administer insurance claims, unless another legal ground applies, we rely on the data subject\u2019s consent to process Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Records Data, such as medical and criminal convictions records and for profiling as set out in the next section. This consent allows us to share the information with other Insurers, Intermediaries and Reinsurers that need to process the information in order to undertake their role in the insurance market (which in turn allows for the pooling and pricing of risk in a sustainable manner).<\/p>\n

      The affected individual\u2019s consent to this processing of Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Records Data may be necessary for W Denis to be able to provide the services the client requests.<\/p>\n

      Where you are providing us with information about a person other than yourself, you agree to notify them of our use of their Personal Data and to obtain such consent for us.<\/p>\n

      Individuals may withdraw their consent to such processing at any time by contacting the W Denis Data Protection Officer using the contact details at the Questions, Requests or Complaints section below. However, doing so may prevent W Denis from continuing to provide the services to the relevant client. In addition, if an individual withdraws consent to an Insurer\u2019s or Reinsurer\u2019s processing of their Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Records Data, it may not be possible for the insurance cover to continue.<\/p>\n\n

      Safeguards<\/h2>\n\n

      We have in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we maintain. These safeguards will vary depending on the sensitivity, format, location, amount, distribution and storage of the Personal Data, and include measures designed to keep Personal Data protected from unauthorized access. If appropriate, the safeguards include encryption of information during storage, firewalls, access controls, separation of duties, and similar security protocols. We restrict access to Personal Data to personnel and third parties that require access to such information for legitimate, relevant business purposes.<\/p>\n\n

      Limiting Collection and Retention of Personal Information<\/h2>\n\n

      We collect, use, disclose and otherwise process Personal Data that is necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by law or regulatory requirements. If we require Personal Data for a purpose inconsistent with the purposes we identified in this Privacy Policy, we will notify clients of the new purpose and, where required, seek individuals\u2019 consent (or ask other parties to do so on W Denis\u2019 behalf) to process Personal Data for the new purposes.<\/p>\n

      Our retention periods for Personal Data are based on business needs, legal requirements and regulatory requirements. We retain Personal Data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. For example, we retain certain transaction details and correspondence until the time limit for claims arising from the transaction has expired, or to comply with regulatory requirements regarding the retention of such data. When Personal Data is no longer needed, we either irreversibly anonymise the data (in which case we may further retain and use the anonymised information) or securely destroy the data.<\/p>\n

      Individuals may request additional information about the specific safeguards applied to the export of their Personal Data.<\/p>\n\n

      Cross\u2013Border Transfer of Personal Information<\/h2>\n\n

      W Denis transfers Personal Data to, or permits access to Personal Data from, countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These countries\u2019 data protection laws do not always offer the same level of protection for Personal Data as offered in the EEA. We will, in all circumstances, safeguard Personal Data as set out in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n

      Certain countries outside the EEA have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections as EEA data protection laws. EU data protection laws allow W Denis to freely transfer Personal Data to such countries.<\/p>\n

      If we transfer Personal Data to other countries outside the EEA, we will establish legal grounds justifying such transfer, such as model contractual clauses, individuals\u2019 consent, or other legal grounds permitted by applicable legal requirements.<\/p>\n

      Individuals can request additional information about the specific safeguards applied to the export of their Personal Data.<\/p>\n

      Accuracy, Accountability, Openness and Your Rights<\/h2>\n

      <\/p>\n

      We strive to maintain Personal Data that is accurate, complete and current. Individuals should contact us at dataprotection@wdenis.co.uk\/eu-en to update their information.<\/p>\n

      Questions regarding W Denis\u2019 privacy practices should be directed to W Denis\u2019 Data Protection Officer using the contact details in the Questions, Requests or Complaints section below.<\/p>\n

      Under certain conditions, individuals have the right to request W Denis to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. provide further details on how we use and process their Personal Data;<\/li>\n
      2. provide a copy of the Personal Data we maintain about the individual;<\/li>\n
      3. update any inaccuracies in the Personal Data we hold;<\/li>\n
      4. delete Personal Data that we no longer have a legal ground to process; and<\/li>\n
      5. restrict how we process the Personal Data while we consider the individual\u2019s enquiry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


        In addition, under certain conditions, individuals have the right to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. where processing is based on consent, withdraw the consent;<\/li>\n
        2. object to any processing of Personal Data that W Denis justifies on the \u201clegitimate interests\u201d legal grounds, unless our reasons for undertaking that processing outweigh any prejudice to the individual\u2019s privacy rights; and<\/li>\n
        3. object to marketing at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


          These rights are subject to certain exemptions to safeguard the public interest (e.g., the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g., the maintenance of legal privilege). We will respond to most requests within 30 days.<\/p>\n

          If we are unable to resolve an enquiry or a complaint, individuals have the right to contact the UK data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
