Sensitive personal data
Sensitive personal data refers to health information, criminal records and other sensitive personal data. See the section above under What personal data do we collect?
If we use certain sensitive personal data, data protection laws require that we must have an additional legal basis.
The additional legal basis that we rely on for processing sensitive personal data is that it is necessary for an insurance purpose and for reasons of substantial public interest, and to protect, investigate and defend legal claims.
Who do we share your personal data with?
We share personal data (except for CCTV images) within and outside the Tokio Marine group of companies. These persons may act as data controllers or data processors of your personal data. A data controller is responsible for deciding how to use your personal data, while a data processor only processes your personal data on behalf of a controller that it provides services to.
We will not generally disclose your CCTV images to anyone outside of TMK except where a right of access is exercised by you or where we are asked to make the disclosures to law enforcement agencies, to comply with any law, regulation or court order or to protect our property or the rights of persons who have been injured, attacked or had property damaged or stolen.
Other companies
We may disclose your personal data to or share it with:
- The relevant insurance market participants and other companies
The insurance lifecycle involves the sharing of your personal data between the various insurance market participants and other companies.
We may disclose your personal data to our insurance partners and other companies such as brokers, other insurers, reinsurers, coverholders and companies who act as insurance intermediaries. These insurance market participants and other companies would usually operate as independent data controllers of personal data, and are responsible for their own compliance with data protection laws. You should refer to their privacy notices for more information about their practices.
We may disclose your personal data to companies who process your personal data on our behalf, such as those who are involved in risk assessment, handling, investigation, defence or prosecution of claims, administration of insurance policies, loss adjustment and information providers such as screening, due diligence and anti-fraud databases.
- Other authorised service providers
We may disclose your personal data to service providers we have retained to provide services to us.
Service providers such as banks, financial organisations and advisers, auditors, lawyers and tax advisers are independent data controllers of personal data which they receive from us.
Other service providers such as our marketing agencies, document management providers and IT service providers who manage our IT and back office systems are data processors and process on our behalf, those personal data which they receive from us.
Within the Tokio Marine group of companies
We are part of the Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. group of companies and other entities operating throughout the world. Your personal data is shared with our group entities for the purposes of providing services between our group entities, for our general business administration, reporting or regulatory/ compliance purposes. Our group entities may either act as data controllers or data processors of personal data.
Legal and regulatory obligations
We will make disclosures in order to meet our legal and regulatory obligations to law enforcement agencies, government and regulatory bodies such as the Prudential Regulatory Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office and other regulators as required by law, who act as independent data controllers of the personal data.
We may make disclosures of your personal data for the purposes of legal proceedings, obtaining legal advice and complying with our obligations under the data protection and other laws.
Mergers and acquisitions
We may disclose your personal data in connection with the sale, transfer or disposal of our business to third parties who act as independent data controllers of the personal data.
How long will TMK retain your data
We will retain your personal data in accordance with our Data Retention Schedule for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. Our retention periods for personal data are determined based on our business needs and legal requirements. 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. Please note that personal data that has been deleted from our systems may persist in our backups, but will not be readily accessible.
CCTV data
We will keep your personal information for approximately one month after the recording was made. After this time the recording stored on the hard drive of our CCTV system will usually be overwritten. However, if we receive an enquiry about a particular recording on our CCTV, will retain that part of the recording until it is no longer required. This period can vary as it will depend upon the circumstances of the particular case, but for criminal or civil legal proceedings this could mean that the personal information is retained until after the legal case and any appeals have been concluded, which may be many years after. As soon as it is no longer required we will then delete the personal information.
