Your privacy is very important to us at iCarhireinsurance. We recognise the importance of protecting your personal and financial information. This Privacy Policy applies to all of the products, services and websites offered by iCarhireinsurance.

Data Protection laws and regulations place obligations on users of personal data aimed at protecting the privacy of individuals.

Your personal information means the information we have obtained from you when you completed the purchase process, either online or over the telephone. Personal information we may ask you to provide includes but is not limited to, your name, address, date of birth and contact details (email and telephone). For your insurance to be valid, we need to know that you are within the age range covered by our policies. In the case of irregular account activity or to ensure the security of your account, we may request additional information such as proof of address, telephone numbers, passport details or driver's licence details.

Most of your personal information we obtain directly from you but some may be obtained by other means such as via our payment processing providers. This is only to provide you with the utmost protection and with the aim of preventing fraud and money laundering.

All information about you will be treated as private and confidential. We only use your personal information to effectively provide our service to you. Your personal information is used primarily to authenticate you as the owner of your account. In the event of any doubt as to the authenticity of your account details, iCarhireinsurance reserves the right to request further personal information as may be considered appropriate under the circumstances.

We will use the information we have about you in the course of arranging and administering your insurance. This may involve passing information about you to insurers and other third parties involved in your insurance. For example, we may transfer your data to the Insurer who is underwriting the insurance policy that you have purchased, or where we are required to do so by law. Passing information also includes, but is not limited to, providing your personal information to payment processing providers to enable transactions on your account.

We may contact you on occasion in relation to any insurance contract that you purchase from us, for example at renewal time or after a change to the policy. We will never sell your personal information to third parties or share your personal information with third parties unrelated to providing you with our service.

In our effort to improve our service to you, we may send you information or marketing material from time to time, which we consider may interest or benefit you, especially with regards enhancements to our service.
