Scope

When we talk about our ‘services’, we mean all of the websites, apps, products, and services we provide through our brand(s) and by other means. 

We may provide further disclosures for some services, and these should be read in addition to this notice.

Our services may contain links to external sites. We do not control these sites and encourage you to read their privacy notices.

What personal data do we collect?

Data you provide to us

To use our services, you must share some of your data with us. To support our ongoing relationship with you, we collect the minimum amount of data from you as we can and if you do not share this data with us, we will be unable to offer you the service you have shown an interest in. For example, you may provide data to enter into a contract or competition; use our services; purchase a product; make a complaint, or ask for help. Typically, you might share things like: 
  • Name(s) / username
  • Date of birth
  • Gender
  • Email address
  • Residential, billing and where relevant, business address history
  • Phone number
  • Financial history, including details of your current financial products
  • Identity documents
  • Payment details
  • Employment details
  • Car make, model and registration number
  • Driving licence and driving history
  • Details regarding previous claims
  • Electricity / gas meter details as well as consumption / usage data
  • Health data
  • Previous conviction data
  • Details of other people you would like to benefit from any product or service you express an interest in or that may be relevant to the service you are applying for

Where you provide us data you do so on your own behalf, or where providing us with someone else’s data, you must have their permission to do so.

You may also choose to share other data with us, such as comments, interests, likes and dislikes, and survey answers. 

Data we collect about you

When you use our services, we collect some data automatically including things like:
  • Cookies and other online IDs
  • Website visit length, clicks, page views, and other actions
  • ISP and IP address
  • Device and browser data
  • Emails from us you have opened and / or clicked

Data from our other RVU services

If you use any of our brands, we will combine your data with that of our other brands, along with other information we collect from others.    

Data we get from others

If you use other ZPG services, we may get data about that use. Other ZPG companies may use your data to provide services that you ask for, like home management, and we may recommend other services based on your interests.

We work with third-parties, who help us provide and market the services we offer.  We also use ‘look-up’ services to help complete our online forms and check your history.  For example to populate your address and vehicle details; find details of your current energy supplier and estimated energy consumption; and retrieve information about your driving history and any motoring convictions.  This information is sometimes publicly available and not under our direct control.

Where our services allow you to look-up data, you may only use the service if all parties whose data you are providing agree. If you do not have this permission then you must not use the service. 

Data we create

We may combine the data we have to create new data. The data we create about you will depend on your use of our services, but it may include:
  • Approximate location
  • Inferences about your interests and product preferences
  • When your services are due to expire or are eligible for renewal
  • Interest cohorts
  • Linked devices
Please note: We do not use the data we collect to infer sensitive data about you.

How do we use your data?

Depending on your use of our services and the choices you make, we will use your data for the following:

Providing our services and carrying out your requests

We may use your data to (as applicable):
  • check your identity and eligibility for our services
  • register and secure your account

  • direct you to the websites of our partners
  • process transactions between you and us, or our partners
  • track sales and get paid by our partners
  • build profiles of your use of ZPG services, and personalise your service. This will include details of the products/services you have shown an interest in, and may ultimately then have purchased, as well as the information you provided to us, or that we learned about you as you interacted with us via any of our websites
  • keep your data updated
  • ask for the cancellation of your products with third-parties (where possible), when you have asked us to
  • provide customer service and support
  • enable you to use social sharing tools

Improving and promoting the services of us and others

To help improve and promote our services, and the services of our partners, we may use your data to:

  • help present our services clearly and in the most effective way
  • run competitions, incentives, and surveys
  • help us and our partners create better products for you
  • process any rewards we may offer to you
  • send updates and service messages about your products and services
  • let you know about our services and promotions by email, social media (e.g., Facebook, Google, Instagram and LinkedIn), SMS, and using push notifications (where you have not opted out) and let you know about other RVU and wider ZPG services
  • build, train, and augment models which help us understand your likely interests and those of others
  • target advertising to you, on this and other websites, based on data we have collected or created
  • help us understand if and how our and others marketing works

Operating our business

In the course of running our business we may use your data to:
  • do the things that are necessary for running our services and business
  • help secure our business and prevent fraud
  • create reports for internal or external purposes
  • comply with the legal and regulatory obligations that apply to us
  • audit our business and processes
  • protect the interests of our business, and those of our partners
  • help assess any assets we may buy or sell
  • For other purposes not described in this privacy notice that you consent to (from time to time) and as otherwise permitted by law

Please note: We may combine your data with the data of others (e.g. a count of the total number of website users per day). The data we create by doing this cannot be used to single you out and is not personal.

Why can we use your data?

To use your data, we must have a valid and legal reason (a ‘lawful basis’). 

Sometimes we ask for your consent (e.g., to use some cookies) and sometimes, where you would expect us to use your data, we do not need to ask. 

Our reason for using your data is usually one of the following:

Contract
We must use your data to carry out a contract you are party to, or take steps before you enter a contract. This also includes sending you reminders when your current deal with a third-party is due to expire/is eligible for renewal so you do not end up paying more for a service due to being ‘out of contract’ or leave you without valid insurance.

Consent
You have given us consent to use your data for a certain reason (you can withdraw your consent at any time).

Legal obligation
We (or another ZPG company) must use your data to follow the laws or regulations to which we are subject.

Legitimate interests
We have a legitimate interest in using your data. Usually this is to help us run, improve, promote, or protect our services and business.

Examples of these interests include:
  • Marketing similar products and services
  • Speeding up your re-quote journey
  • Building profiles so you are not contacted about services you have no interest in
  • Providing you with energy data about your property
  • Providing email summaries of quote results, when you use our services
  • Contacting you to provide renewal quotes
  • Contacting you to do market research about our and other services
  • Auditing our processes to help keep our high standards
  • Statistical analysis, and product development
  • Securing our services and keeping them online.
  • Fraud prevention
  • To assist site visitors with support for common queries
Sometimes, we may use your data when it is in the interest of another company, such as another ZPG brand, or the wider public good. 

Who might we share your data with?

We also share data with third-parties whose services we use to run our business. For example, we pay for a third-party to host our databases. When we use third-party services to support our business, they must respect and protect your personal data to the same high standard we do.

Product suppliers: to get quotes and help you get products
We may share your data with product suppliers to help them (or others) arrange your quotes, and to help you to get products. To help them work out your quote and decide if their products are right for you, these suppliers may use data from other sources. Examples of these data sources include the electoral roll, county court judgments, the DVLA and credit reference agencies. These third-parties will also likely search their own records for information they already hold about you before providing a quote or service.

We work in partnership with Experian and other companies linked to finance
What information do we securely share with them and why?
  • Where relevant, your quotation information is provided to the companies linked to below, to assess the likelihood of you being accepted for various credit cards,  loans, mortgages or other financial products. The companies mentioned conduct a ‘soft’ credit search with a credit reference agency (“CRA”) and pass your quotation information to the lenders on their panel so they can return your eligibility score for the financial product their panel offers.
  • With some lenders your quotation information is provided directly to them so they can return your eligibility score for the financial product they provide. For example, we may be told if you are pre-approved for one of their products. For more information on how your eligibility is assessed please see the relevant lender or partner’s privacy information.
  • When assessing your quotation or formal application some partners and lenders may share your information with fraud prevention agencies to ensure your quote or application is legitimate. These agencies may also retain your personal data for fraud detection and prevention purposes, including sharing this with other parties that use those fraud detection services.
  • If you proceed with an application for a financial product, the lender will undertake a ‘hard’ credit search with a CRA, either upon application, or on your acceptance of the financial product. This may vary depending on the lender and may impact your credit score.
  • More information about each CRA and what it does with personal data is available at the following locations:
    • TransUnion – www.transunion.co.uk/crain
    • Equifax – www.equifax.co.uk/crain
    • Experian – www.experian.co.uk/legal/crain

Product suppliers: to help stop fraud and money laundering
To help prevent and detect fraud and money laundering we:
Verify and monitor the details on your application
  • Work with partners, suppliers, other industry companies and fraud prevention agencies to share and receive relevant information
You must answer all questions honestly, accurately, and to the best of your knowledge. Failure to do so may result in you not being offered a product, incurring additional fees and charges, being left with an invalid policy, or seeing any future insurance claim being affected. You may also be liable for any third-party costs in the event of a claim.

Product suppliers: to help create better products for you
We may share data with product suppliers to help them carry out market research and create better products for you.

Advertising partners: to target our adverts to you and others
We may share or anonymously match some of your data to our partners who use it to help us target our advertising to you and others. This means we try to show you adverts that we think are relevant to you and we try to stop showing you adverts that are not.

Analytics suppliers: to help us improve our services
We may share data about your visit to our websites with analytics suppliers who help us improve our services for you and our business. This data is usually shared in a way that does not directly identify you.

We may also share your personal data with third-parties:

If we buy or sell any business or assets
If we buy or sell any business or assets, we may disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer of that business or those assets, and its advisers. If we (or most of our assets) are bought, data held about users will be one of the transferred assets.

For client businesses
If we collect data on behalf of our clients, we will share your data with them and you will be informed when we are doing this.

To obtain advice
We may disclose your data to obtain advice from lawyers and other professionals.

For audience measurement
We may share your data with companies who help us to learn about who is using our services, and how they are used.

To comply with the law
We may pass your data on when required to do so by law or in response to a request from law enforcement or another regulatory authority. We may disclose your data to enforce our agreements with you or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others. This includes sharing data for security and fraud prevention purposes.

In emergencies
If we believe someone is in danger, we reserve the right to share data to help protect them.

Anonymous data
We create and share general data about our consumers – you cannot be singled out within this data.

How do we store your personal data?

We take the protection of your data very seriously.

We follow best practices to secure your data, and we only keep it when the law allows and it is needed for the purposes it was collected. The periods we keep it for vary based on the type of data and the services you have used. However, we normally keep it while you are a customer or for up to 7 years from use of our services. If necessary, we may retain data longer where such data is required for the resolution of a dispute.

We may store or process your data outside of the United Kingdom, where local privacy laws do not provide as much protection. When we do that, we use approved data transfer safeguards and legal frameworks 

How do we use cookies?

Cookies are small text files and are widely used when you visit websites. 

They help us identify you from other users of our websites and apps (including when you use other websites). They help us make your use of our services as good as possible (for example, saving your login details). We also use cookies to help target our advertising on this and on other websites. 

You can adjust the settings in your browser to stop the use of cookies but some of our services may not work if you do so. To learn more about the cookies we use and why we use them, please read the relevant cookie policy on the website you are visiting.

Opting out of collection of data by third-party advertisers
Our third-party advertising providers may target you on our websites and apps, or in other places. To make those ads more relevant and help measure their effectiveness, they may use cookies and similar tools. They record your use (like the pages you have visited) to try to work out what interests you. They use this data in the ways described in their own privacy notices.

Facebook pages
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook gets the data you create as you engage with our content. For this data, Facebook Ireland and we act as joint controllers under these terms.

Third-party comparison and switching tools
Some of our tools are provided by third-party suppliers. We generally do not retain any of your data as part of your switch through these third-party comparison and switching tools.

Automated Decision-Making
In relation to mortgages and some other financial products, we perform automated checks to quickly establish whether we, or selected partners, are best placed to help with your needs. We may look at your property details, product availability and any other information you have provided to make this decision. You have the right to human involvement and to potentially override any automated decisions. Our partners may also make automated decisions and when this happens, you will need to exercise your right to human involvement directly with them.

Your other data rights

You have data rights granted to you under data protection law which you can exercise at any time. We manage all rights requests raised to us as the law requires. This means there may be legal reasons why we cannot complete all requests.  We have one calendar month to fulfill your rights request but can extend this up to a further two months if we decide it is necessary.

Right to be informed: where you have given us your data, you may ask us, for example, about the type of information we hold; how we process your data, including who we have shared it with and how long we will keep your data for.

Right to withdraw consent:
where you have given us consent to use your data, you may withdraw this at any time. For instance, you can use our cookie preference centre to reject non-essential cookies; or where you have provided us health data, enabling us to treat our vulnerable customers fairly, you can withdraw your consent for us to store this data.

Right to erasure: you can ask us to delete the data we have about you. We must comply with this request, unless retaining your data is necessary, for example:
  • to comply with a legal, regulatory, or contractual obligation which requires the use or retention of your data under UK law; or
  • to exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to rectify: although we make efforts to keep it correct, based on the latest data available to us, you can ask us to amend data that is incorrect or is not complete.

Right to restrict data processing: in some situations, you can ask us to limit the use of your data. For example, if your data is due to be erased from our records as the retention period has expired, you may ask us to retain a copy of that data for a period of time - this may be relevant if you have commenced legal proceedings.

Right to portability:
you can ask us to share data you provided to us directly with you or with another company - currently there are no examples of when this might be relevant but we will keep this  under review.

Right to object: you can object to our use of your data, when we use it based on our legitimate interests or those of a third-party. If this happens, we will not use your data, unless we can show legitimate reasons and an overriding interest for its use, or for the exercise or defence of legal claims.  You can unsubscribe from emails by clicking ‘Unsubscribe’ in any marketing email you have received; can switch off ‘push’ notifications on your mobile device by going into your settings; and ‘stop’ SMS messages by following the instructions in the message you have received.  To object to profiling or opt-out of renewal reminders, you can contact our Privacy Team using the details below.

Right of access: you may ask us to give you a copy of the data that we hold about you. We will give you a copy of your data if you request it, once we have checked your identity (ID checks will vary based on the data we hold about you).

Right to complain: you can file a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office), the United Kingdom’s data protection regulator. However, we’d prefer it if you first contact us to try and let us try to solve your problem – you can find our contact details below.
