Our Commitment

Insurance Hero (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our control and maintaining a system that meets our obligations under the regulations.

We acknowledge that the GDPR requires personal data to be processed in a manner that ensures its security, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

Our GDPR Principles

We adhere to the principles relating to the processing of personal data set out in the GDPR, which require personal data to be:

Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently (Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency).
It is collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (Purpose Limitation).
Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary concerning the purposes for which it is processed (Data Minimisation).
Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date (Accuracy).
Not kept in a form that permits data subject identification for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed (Storage Limitation).
Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures (Integrity and Confidentiality).

We ensure the lawful processing of personal data by obtaining consent, by ensuring that we have a legitimate interest in processing the data, or by ensuring that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party.
