Data Protection Statement

We will keep all the personal information you give us confidential and will not pass it to any third party unless you give us your permission or the law allows us to provide the information. We will hold your information in the systems of Quinn Life, our agents or subcontractors so we and they can provide suitable products and services to you.

We will record all incoming and outgoing telephone conversations for training, quality and fact verification purposes.

We will use the information you provide to manage your insurance, including handling claims and for money laundering prevention purposes. We may check the information against other information available to the public (such as on the electoral roll and court judgements). We may also share information with other insurers, either directly or through people acting for the insurer (such as loss adjusters or investigators), Revenue and the Pensions Board for certain pension arrangements and, where we are entitled to do so under the Data Protection Act, the Garda Síochána and other law-enforcement agencies. To set premiums, we will ask a credit reference agency to check the electoral roll and public information. The agency will record their search but they will not affect your credit rating.

If an application for insurance is declined or is subject to special terms, this information may be shared via a central register administered by the Irish Insurance Federation, with other insurance companies.

We may need to collect sensitive information (such as information about health or criminal convictions) about you and others named on the insurance policy. By going ahead with this insurance you will be agreeing to us or our agents or other insurers processing that information. Before you provide sensitive information about others, you should make sure they agree.

We may pass information about you and your claims history to:

  • our agents and service providers;
  • other insurers and their agents;
  • any agent acting for you; and
  • recognised trade, governing and regulatory organisations we are a member of or which we are governed by

We may give information about you to anyone we transfer our rights and duties to under this policy.

When we deal with your request for insurance, we may search the register.

When you tell us about an incident, we will pass information about it to the registers.
