The information we collect and how we use it.
Within the site, we may ask you to provide us with relevant personal information in order that we can provide you with the product or service requested, undertake administration and generally service and maintain your policy, including responding to any query that you may raise with us.
All personal information supplied by you will be treated in confidence by Brevent Insurance Services Limited and will not be disclosed to any third parties except for the purposes of arranging insurance, where your consent has been received or where permitted by law. In order to provide you with products and services this information will be held in the data systems of Brevent Insurance Services Limited or our agents or sub-contractors.
Brevent Insurance Services Limited may pass your personal information to other companies for processing on its behalf. Some of these companies may be based outside Europe in countries which may not have laws to protect your personal information, but in all cases Brevent Insurance will ensure that it is kept securely and only used for the purposes for which you provided it. Details of the companies and countries involved can be provided to you on request.
On payment of a small fee you are entitled to receive a copy of the information we hold about you. If you have any questions, or you would like to find out more about this notice you can write to:

Brevent Insurance would also like to keep you informed (by telephone, post or e-mail) of selected products and services available from us and our carefully chosen suppliers. If you would prefer not to receive this information from us please let us know when you contact us.
As part of the process of providing you with the product or service requested, we may undertake certain checks or exchange information through various databases. For example as part of the process for arranging general insurance products we may check with a licensed credit-referencing agency and a record of this search will be made. Also, we may exchange information with insurers or management companies through various databases to help us check information provided and also to prevent fraud. Should we make any checks or exchange information we will include further details within the web site or when we write to you.
For your protection, any telephone calls to us may be recorded or may be monitored, we hope you don't mind.
