Last Updated 6 September 2023

This privacy notice tells you what to expect when Brown & Brown collects and processes your personal information. We take the protection of your data seriously and are committed to being transparent with you about the data we collect and how it is used and shared. We are committed to ensuring that we meet all our obligations under relevant Data Protection laws, including the United Kingdom (UK) and European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018, as amended from time to time.

Personal Information we collect

We will receive personal information about you when you contact us, for example by requesting or obtaining a quote, purchasing a product from us or from one of our partners or using one of our websites. The information may include:

How and why we use this information

We will process any personal data lawfully under one or more of the following bases:

We will use personal information about you primarily in connection with the provision of insurance, namely:

We may monitor calls, emails, text messages and other communications with you. When you contact us we may keep a record of that correspondence and any information provided to us during that or any subsequent communication.

We may use your purchase history to tell you about our offers and products that we think you will be most interested in. If you prefer not to receive these messages, you can opt out at any time.

If you've chosen to receive marketing information from us, profiling and automated decision making may be used to make our marketing more relevant, for example by personalising the methods we use to market to you, the marketing messages you receive and the offers you're sent.

Where we obtain your information

We will collect personal information about you from you directly but also potentially from your family members, employer or representative, other insurance market participants, credit reference agencies, anti-fraud databases, sanctions lists, court judgements and other judicial databases, government agencies such as the DVLA and HMRC, open electoral register and any other publicly available data sources. In addition, in the event of a claim, we will receive information from third parties including the other party to the claim (claimant / defendant), witnesses, experts (including medical experts), loss adjustors, solicitors, and claims handlers.

How we share this information

In using personal data for the above purposes, we may disclose personal data to third parties including (but not limited to) insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries or other brokers; outsourcers, sub-contractors, agents and service providers; claim handlers; premium finance providers; professional advisers and auditors. Third parties to whom we disclose personal data are required by law and contractual undertakings to keep personal data confidential and secure, and to use and disclose it for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and in compliance with all applicable legislation.

We may share and aggregate information about you from across the Brown & Brown Group of companies, including personal information held within the Group relating to other policies held with us, quotes or claims details and we may use this information to:

Retention of your personal data

We keep Personal Information for as long as is reasonably required for the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy. We also keep records, which may include Personal Information, to meet legal, regulatory, tax or accounting needs. For example, we are required to retain an accurate record of your dealings with us, so we can respond to any complaints or challenges you or others might raise later. We'll also retain files if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation. The specific retention period for your Personal Information will depend on your relationship with us and the reasons we hold your Personal Information.

To support us in managing how long we hold your data and our record management, we maintain a data retention policy which includes clear guidelines on data retention and deletion.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We may need to transfer your information outside the United Kingdom to other service providers and business partners. We will only transfer your personal information in this way where there is an adequate level of protection that is the same as the level of protection required under United Kingdom data protection legislation.

International Data Transfers

In the event that we process personal information outside the UK, the processing in those locations is protected by UK and European data standards. If the information you provide to us is transferred to countries outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) by us or our suppliers, steps will be taken to make sure appropriate security measures are in place with the aim of ensuring your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Your rights

Data protection laws provide you with a number of rights as set out below.

We may ask you for proof of identity when you make a request to exercise any of these rights. We do this to ensure we only disclose information to the right individual.

We aim to respond to all valid requests within one calendar month. It may take us longer if the request is particularly complicated or you have made several requests. We'll always let you know if we think a response will take longer than one calendar month. We may also ask you to provide more detail about what you want to receive or are concerned about.

We may not always be able to do what you have asked. This is because your rights will not always apply, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if the law allows us to deal with the request in a different way. We will always explain to you how we are dealing with your request.

Who to contact about your Personal Data

Use the contact details in the 'Contact us' section for any questions or concerns relating to this Privacy Notice or our data protection practices, or to make a request relating to your rights such as a subject access request.
