This privacy notice tells you what to expect when BuyMyCover, part of Ramasis Limited, collects your data.
When you use WeeklyCover, part of Ramasis Limited, you trust us with your information. This is our Privacy Notice, which is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it.
We believe this is important information, so please read it carefully.
We have tried to make our Privacy Notice as easy to understand as possible. If you have any questions about how we treat your data, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can email us on [email protected].
We collect and store your personal information so that we can find you insurance. We use your information to find you insurance quotes, administer your policy, support you and improve the service we provide. We may also share relevant information with you, or parties involved with your insurance policy. We don’t sell your information. We collect your information to establish the contract and record information required to comply with legal obligations. This information is held under contract to protect legitimate interests of insurers, Ramasis and finance providers.
We will collect information from you when you:
We use cookies to help you navigate through the quote pages on our website and to help us understand who is using our website.
We record all calls for security, training, and crime prevention.
The information you use when you get a quick quote or a full quote is used to decide whether to offer you cover, the terms of cover and the price.
Insurance companies need to see evidence of certain things to make sure your policy is based on correct information. As your broker, we are responsible for gathering some of this information. We may also refer to other sources of information, including the Claims and Underwriting Exchange, industry fraud databases or the financial sanctions list, anti-money laundering, insolvency and credit checking services.
We record your contact information when you ask us to send you a quote.
We keep records of all the letters, emails, and live chats that we receive. When you communicate with us through social media, we record your information to help us develop our services. Social media providers also record this information.
We store information from your responses to help enhance our service and share more information with you.
We use this information to make sure we keep you up to date with our newsletters or blogs.
You will be required to sign a visitor’s book and will be recorded on CCTV.
The main reason we use your information is to help us find insurance for you. We will do this when you ask us to find you a new quote or when we are renewing insurance policies. We only use your information to help provide you with the services you ask for.
You should be aware that our assessment may involve an automated decision to check for customer suitability in finding the right policy for you. We will share your information with insurers, intermediaries, and other service providers as part of this process. This information may include personal and sensitive data such as convictions and offences data. We provide this information for the express purpose of providing a quote, and other companies are not allowed to store your information for any other purpose. We also analyse data to identify products and services that customers may be interested in; this is commonly known as profiling. You have the right to object to the use of profiling activities and the use of automated decision making (services/tools and techniques), however in those situations it may prevent us from being able to provide you with insurance.
We will only engage with legitimate providers in this process and only when we’re sure your data will be treated properly. Other than finding you a quote, we will only share your information with other parties if we are legally obliged to, to prevent crime or to help manage your insurance policies. If we need to provide your information to another company, outside of this, we will ask your permission first.
We’ll also use your information to get in touch with you about your insurance needs and to help manage the products that you buy from us. This includes checking some of the facts and information provided during the application process.
You should remember that, if you share information on public forums, this information may be available to other people. Please take care when using things like social media. If you have a query about your policy, we would recommend you get in touch by emailing [email protected].
