What Personal Information Do We Collect

We collect personal information about you when you give this to us when you submit the inquiry form on our website to request a quote or further information from service providers. The collection of this information is the first step in entering into a contract with you.

In the course of providing the Services to you, we may also store information about how you use our Sites, for example, the pages viewed, the website from which you came to visit our Sites, changes you make to information you supply to us, details of the quotes you request and your applications.

We will store the information you provide and may use it to pre-populate fields on the Sites and to make it easier for you to use the Sites when making return visits

We may monitor or record your calls, emails, SMS or other communications but we will do so in accordance with data protection legislation and other applicable law. Monitoring or recording will always be for business purposes, such as for quality control and training (e.g. where you call our compliance or customer service department), to prevent unauthorised use of our telecommunication systems and Sites, to ensure effective systems operation, to meet any legal obligation and/or to prevent or detect crime.

We will periodically review your personal information to ensure that we do not keep it for longer than is permitted by law.

Who Do We Share Your Personal Information With

When you complete an inquiry, you consent to us disclosing your personal information with the following parties:

clickclaims.co.uk and AM1 Motors Limited - (i) to communicate with you, including sending you information about products and services which may be of interest to you; (ii) to speed up form filling, or to personalise, or improve your experience on its website, mobile applications or other similar devices, channels or applications; or (iii) in accordance with its privacy policy.

Related companies - when we use your information for administrative, management forecasting and planning and statistical purposes, and compliance monitoring.

Where we use third party companies to provide elements of our service for us and they store or process your data, we ensure we have a contract in place with them to outline our expectations and their responsibilities. We require third party companies to agree that they will not share your personal information with any other organisation without our authorisation, they will process all information securely and they must employ safeguards and implement measures that offer your information at least the same level of protection that our own practices provide.

Data Retention

We'll hold on to your information for at least as long as is needed to be able to provide our services to you. After this point we review the data that we hold to decide whether we need to keep hold of your information any longer, for example to deal with a complaint or for any legal reasons that may arise from a complaint being made.

We may also hold your information for administrative, management forecasting and planning and statistical purposes, in which case, we will limit what types of information we keep where possible to minimise risk and safeguard personal information.

In retaining any personal information, we ensure that we have a lawful basis before the decision is made to keep personal information about you.

Direct Marketing

Should you request a quote or service on our website, then as our customer we would like to contact you via email, SMS/IM and display notifications regarding similar products and services we think might interest you. As per the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), we send such communications based on the soft opt-in exemption and you will always be given the opportunity to opt out of such messages. Should you have opted out, we will never send you any information: Unsubscribe

If you sign up for our information service then we will, from time to time send you information about products or services and deals that we think might interest you.

You will need to give us specific consent to be included in the information service. If you have consented, you can withdraw that consent at any time by unsubscribing.

Custom And Lookalike Audiences

We like to work with Facebook, Google, TikTok and other platforms (“Platforms”) to reach out to you with adverts for other Products that you might be interested in. We also like to use Platforms to reach out to other people who might like to use our service.

We do this in two ways. In both cases, your information, along with other information, is used to create a custom audience and/or a lookalike audience. Whenever an audience is shared with a Platform, the data is first hashed and pseudonymised, meaning that any data within the audience that could identify a person is replaced with an artificial identifier. So, the process is secure. Also, we don’t share more data than we need to for the purpose of creating the audience.

Custom audience – A custom audience is a list of our existing customers. From time to time, we share this with Platforms. As explained above, the data is first hashed and pseudonymised. The Platform uses this audience to show our customers our adverts for other Products that they might be interested in.

Lookalike audience – A lookalike audience is an audience created by the Platform. From time to time, we share with Platforms a list of customers. The Platform uses this list to find and create lookalikes – i.e. other Platform users who have similar characteristics to the customers – to which it shows our adverts. Again, as explained above, the data is first hashed and pseudonymised.

Your Data Protection Rights

If you reside in the EEA or the UK, you have a number of important rights and choices as to how your personal information is treated under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Those rights are as follows:

You can ask for copies of your personal information;

You can ask us to rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal information;

You can ask us to erase your personal information;

You can ask us not to use your personal information for marketing;

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information;

You can object to the processing of your personal information;

You can ask that we transfer your personal information to another organisation or to you

You can complain about our processing of your personal information; and

To the extent that the legal basis of our processing of your personal information is consent, you can withdraw that consent.

These rights are subject to certain limitations and exceptions. You can learn more about the rights of data subjects here.

Transferring your Data

There may be instances where we need to transfer your information outside the UK. For example, where you are using our services outside of the UK, we may need to transfer your information outside the UK.

As of 1 January 2021, the UK is no longer a part of the EEA. Although the UK is no longer part of the EEA, we will still hold your data to the same level of protection as we did when we were part of the EEA. This means that for any transfer of your data outside of the UK, we will continue to take steps to ensure that it is protected to the same level of protection that applies to transfers of data outside of the EEA.

Certain countries have a European Commission adequacy decision, which means they are considered to offer an adequate level of data protection and we will continue to only transfer data to those countries on this basis.

Other countries do not have the same level of legal protection as countries in the EEA, or with an adequacy decision. If we do transfer your data in this way, we will take steps to ensure that it is protected to the same levels that apply in the EEA. This may include, for example, adopting the EU’s standard contractual clauses.
