Insurance involves the use and disclosure of personal data by various insurance market participants such as
intermediaries, insurers and reinsurers. The London Insurance Market Core Uses Information Notice (which can be found here: sets out those core necessary personal data uses and disclosures. We recommend you review this notice as it details the flows of personal data through the insurance lifecycle.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use yourpersonal data in the following circumstances:
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;
•Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation;
•If you have a policy with us or otherwise benefit from a policy which a third party (such as an employer or family member) has entered into with us, where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with You or the relevant third party.
Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your personal data.
5.Consent
In certain circumstances, we may need your consent to process certain categories of information about you (including special categories of personal data such as information about your health and any criminal convictions you may have). Where we need your consent, we will ask you for it separately. You do not have to give your consent and you may withdraw your consent at any time. However, if You do not give your consent, or You withdraw your consent, this may affect our ability to provide the insurance cover from which you benefit and may prevent us from providing cover for You or handling your claims.
6.Profiling
When calculating insurance premiums we may compare your personal data against industry averages. Your personal data may also be used to create the industry averages going forwards. This is known as profiling and is used to ensure premiums reflect risk.

- provide You with further details on the use we make of your personal data, including any special category of data;
- provide You with a copy of the personal data that you have provided to us;
- update any inaccuracies in the personal data we hold;
- delete any personal data, including anyspecial category of data, that we no longer have a lawful ground to use;
- transfer your personal data to a third party in a standardised machine readable format;
- where processing is based on consent, to withdraw your consent so that we stop that particular processing;
- object to any processing based on the legitimate interests ground unless our reasons for undertaking that processing outweigh any prejudice to your data protection rights; and
- restrict how we use your personal data whilst a complaint is being investigated.
In certain circumstances, we may need to restrict your rights in order to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g. the maintenance of legal privilege).
If You would like to discuss or exercise such rights, please contact us at the details in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy. We encourage You to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if the personal data we hold about You is inaccurate.

All information within our control is stored on our secure servers (or secure hard copies) and accessed and used subject to our security policies and standards.Where Navigators International discloses your personal data to a third party, we require that third party to have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect your personal data.

Regardless of location or whether the person is an employee or contractor we will impose the same data protection safeguards that we deploy inside the EEA.
9.Retention of your personal data
We will keep your personal data only for so long as is necessary and for the purpose for which it was originally collected. In particular, for so long as there is any possibility that either You or we may wish to bring a legal claim under this insurance, or where we are required to keep your personal data due to legal or regulatory reasons.
We maintain a data retention policy which we apply to all personal data in our care. Where your personal data is no longer required we will ensure it is securely deleted.
