insurance to individuals, companies and other insurers.

In order for us to deliver insurance services which involve providing you with a
quote and then insurance, and dealing with any claims or complaints that might
arise, we need to collect and process data.  We also collect your information
for recruitment purposes, in our contractual relationships with you and for
relationship development, where appropriate. This makes us a "data controller".

Liberty Specialty Markets is comprised of a number of data controllers depending
on the interaction you have with us or the policy written.

 * If you are contacting us for recruitment purposes then Liberty Specialty
   Markets Limited and/or Liberty Specialty Markets Europe Sarl will be the data
   controllers for your personal data.
 * If you are a broker, customer, supplier, contractual counterparty or other
   third party then one of the following will be the data controllers of your
   personal data:
   * Liberty Managing Agency Limited (for and on behalf of the Underwriting
     Members of Lloyd’s Syndicate 4472) and/or

controller of your personal data will be listed in the in the documentation we
provide to you.

 If you are a customer residing in California, please view the relevant
supplementary privacy notice here. 

If you are unsure about who the data controller of your personal data is, you
can also contact us at any time by e-mailing us at
dataprotectionofficer@libertyglobalgroup.com or by writing to Data Protection
Officer, Liberty Specialty Markets, 20 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 3AW.


2. ABOUT THE INSURANCE MARKET

Insurance involves the use and disclosure of your personal data by various
insurance market participants such as intermediaries, insurers and reinsurers.
The London Insurance Market Core Uses Information Notice sets out those core
necessary personal data uses and disclosures. Our core uses and disclosures are
consistent with the London Market Core Uses Information Notice. We recommend you
review this notice (by clicking the link above).


3. OUR PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL AND SPECIAL CATEGORY DATA

The types of personal data that we collect and our uses of that personal data
will depend on our relationship with you. For example, we will collect different
personal data depending on whether you are a policyholder, a beneficiary under
an insurance policy, a claimant, a witness, a broker, a potential employee or
another third party.

Sometimes we will request or receive your “sensitive personal data” (which is
information relating to your health, genetic or biometric data, criminal
convictions, sex life, sexual orientation, racial or ethnic origin, political
opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership). For
example we may need access to information about your health in order to provide
you with a quote, provide your insurance policy, or process any claims you make.
We may also need details of any unspent criminal convictions you have for fraud
prevention purposes.

This notice sets out the legal grounds enabling us to process your personal and
special category data. There are different requirements in different
jurisdictions for processing special category data. For example, in England, we
are able to process special category data where it is necessary to provide
insurance services to you. In other jurisdictions, we require your explicit
consent. Where the tables below note that special category data will be
processed for the purposes of providing insurance, this only applies to our data
controllers subject to English, Irish, Dutch or Spanish law law (this will be
clear from the documentation supplied to you).

Where the provision of information is legally or contractually required, we will
tell you this at the time of collection.

Where you provide personal data to us about other individuals (for example,
members of your family) we will also be data controller of and responsible for
their personal data. You should refer them to this notice before supplying us
data on behalf of others.

We may amend the personal data so that you cannot be identified from the data
either by itself or when combined with any other data we hold.  That data will
then not be subject to this notice or data protection law.

In order to make this notice as user friendly as possible, we have split it into
different sections. The notice is available in different languages to reflect
our global presence.   Please click on the section below that best describes
your relationship with us.


3.1. PROSPECTIVE POLICYHOLDERS OR BENEFICIARIES

If you apply for an insurance policy or where someone else (such as a family
member or your employer) applies for an insurance policy which will benefit you,
this section will be relevant to you and sets out our uses of your personal
data.

What personal data will we collect?

 * General information such as your name, address, contact phone numbers and
   email addresses, date of birth and gender.
 * Information about your relationship to the policyholder where you are the
   beneficiary.
 * Identification information such as passport details, driving licence and

   Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce,

 * Any information which is relevant to your insurance application such as
   previous insurance policies you have held and claims you have made. This will
   also include any information specific to the type of policy you are applying
   for, for example, if you are applying for a fine art policy we may collect
   and use information which relates to your art collection.
 * Information which we have gathered from publically available sources such as
   the electoral roll, newspapers and social media sites.
 * Any other information passed on from you, your insurance broker or someone
   else applying on your behalf.

 * Details about your criminal convictions and any related information. This
   will include information relating to any offences or alleged offences you
   have committed or any court sentences which you are subject to.
 * Details about your physical and mental health which are relevant to your
   application (e.g. if you take out or are covered by a personal accident
   policy, we may need details of pre-existing medical conditions). This may
   take the form of medical reports or underlying medical data such as x-rays or
   blood tests.
 * We may also collect information because it is relevant to your application,
   which reveals or is likely to reveal your race or ethnicity, religious or
   philosophical beliefs; political opinions; trade union membership; genetic or
   biometric data; or data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation. For
   example, we may process information relating to your trade union membership
   if you take out a policy with us via your trade union body, as we can
   determine that you are a member of a trade union or where you specify certain
   medical treatments, this could indicate your religious beliefs.

How will we collect your personal data?

We will collect information directly from you:

 * when you apply for or renew a policy;

   insolvency registers, internet search engines, news articles and social media
   sites.

we must have a "legal ground" to do so. We will rely on the following “legal

   contract that we hold with you. For example, we need to use your personal

 * We have a legal or regulatory obligation to use such personal data. For
   example, our regulators require us to hold certain records of our dealings
   with you.

   record of the decisions we make when different types of applications are
   made, to keep business records, to carry out strategic business analysis,

   services). When using your personal data for these purposes, we will always

   purpose on the basis of a legal requirement (e.g. security scanning of email
   contents to detect cyber threats) 
 * You have provided your consent to our use of your sensitive personal data
   (e.g. in relation to your claim). In some circumstances, we may need your

4. WHAT MARKETING AND/OR PROFILING ACTIVITIES DO WE CARRY OUT?

Marketing:

We will only send marketing communications to our business contacts. This may be
done by post, email or telephone.

In each case, we will give you the opportunity to opt out. You can also opt out
at any time by contacting us using the details set out in section 10.

Profiling:

Profiling is integral to the offering of insurance. We assess the risk that you
would like to insure (e.g. the risk of your home being damaged by a flood)
against the likelihood of that event occurring (e.g. based on the geographical
location of your property and history of floods in the area). We use this
profiling to help us decide whether or not to offer you insurance, the terms and
the price of your policy.

Whilst we use profiling to help us make our decisions, it is always a member of
our team who makes a decision taking into account the profiling outcome and
other relevant factors.


5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil
the purposes set out in section 3 above and to comply with our legal and
regulatory obligations.  

We have a detailed retention policy in place which governs how long we will hold
different types of information for. The exact time period will depend on your
relationship with us and the type of personal data we hold, for example:

 * if we provide quote for a policy but this is not taken up by you (or on your
   behalf) then we hold the associated information for 36 months.
 * if you make a claim under a policy we provide, we will keep your personal
   data for 10 years from the date on which the claim is closed.

If you would like further information regarding the periods for which your
personal data will be stored, please contact us using the details set out in
section 10. 


6. WHAT IS OUR APPROACH TO SENDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA OVERSEAS?

Sometimes we (or third parties acting on our behalf) will transfer personal data
that we collect about you to countries outside of the United Kingdom ("UK") or
the European Economic Area ("EEA").

Where a transfer occurs, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is
protected. We will do this using a number of different methods including:
putting in place appropriate contracts. We will use a set of contract wording
known as the "standard contractual clauses" which has been approved by the data
protection authorities.

Depending on our relationship and your particular circumstances, we might
transfer personal data anywhere in the world. For example, if you have a
personal accident policy with us and are injured, we may need to instruct
medical experts or other service providers in the country you are injured in. A
summary of our regular data transfers outside the UK/EEA is set out below:

7. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Liberty Specialty Markets takes security of your information very seriously. We
maintain appropriate technical, organisational, and physical safeguards designed
to protect the personal data we process in accordance with client instructions
and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations. The security measures in
place on our website and computer systems are in place to protect the loss,
misuse or alteration of the information you provide to us. We keep your personal
data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was
collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or
document retention requirements.

The Liberty Mutual Group has a number of Information Security Standards that
apply depending on the data type and data location. These standards cover access
controls, encryption, network and host security, physical security, data
recovery and business continuity. Our standards change from time to time as we
react to market challenges and changing regulatory requirements.

Because e-mails submitted via this website are not protected by the same
security measures we use in other areas where we actively collect information,
you should be particularly careful in deciding what information you wish to send
to us via e-mail.

In the event that you become aware of any actual or potential misuse of any such
information or for more information on IT Security please contact us using the
details set out in section 10. 


8. YOUR RIGHTS

Under data protection law you have a number of rights in relation to the
personal data that we hold about you which we set out below. You can exercise
your rights by contacting us at any time using the details set out in section
10. We will not usually charge you in relation to a request.

Please note that although we take your rights seriously, there may be some
circumstances where we cannot comply with your request such as where complying
with it would mean that we couldn't comply with our own legal or regulatory
requirements. In these instances we will let you know why we cannot comply with
your request.

In some circumstances, complying with your request may result in your insurance
policy being cancelled or your claim being discontinued. For example, if you
request erasure of your personal data, we would not have the information
required to pay your claim. We will inform you of this at the time you make a
request.

 * The right to access your personal data 

You are entitled to a copy of the personal data we hold about you and certain
details of how we use it.

We will usually provide your personal data to you in writing unless you request
otherwise. Where your request has been made electronically (e.g. by email), a
copy of your personal data will be provided to you by electronic means where
possible.

 * The right to rectification 

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold about you is
accurate and where necessary up to date and complete. If you believe that there
are any inaccuracies, discrepancies or gaps in the information we hold about
you, you can contact us and ask us to update or amend it.

 * The right to restriction of processing 

In certain circumstances, you are entitled to ask us to stop using your personal
data, for example where you think that the personal data we hold about you may
be inaccurate or where you think that we no longer need to use your personal
data. 

 * The right to withdraw your consent 

Where we rely on your consent in order to process your personal data, you have
the right to withdraw such consent to further use of your personal data.

Please note that for some purposes, we need your consent in order to provide
your policy. If you withdraw your consent, we may need to cancel your policy or
we may be unable to pay your claim. We will advise you of this at the point you
seek to withdraw your consent.

 * The right to erasure 

This is sometimes known as the 'right to be forgotten'. It entitles you, in
certain circumstances, to request deletion of your personal data. For example,
where we no longer need your personal data for the original purpose we collected
it for or where you have exercised your right to withdrawn consent.

Whilst we will assess every request, there are other factors that will need to
be taken into consideration. For example we may be unable to erase your
information as you have requested because we have a regulatory obligation to
keep it.

 * The right to object 

Marketing: You have control over the extent to which we market to you and you
have the right to request that we stop sending you marketing messages at any
time.  You can do this either by clicking on the "unsubscribe" button in any
email that we send to you or by contacting us using the details set out in
section 10.

Please note that even if you exercise this right because you do not want to
receive marketing messages, we may still send you service related communications
where necessary.

Processing based on our legitimate interests: Where we process your personal
data based on our legitimate interests, you can object to our processing. We
will consider your objection and determine whether or not our legitimate
interests prejudice your privacy rights.

 * The right to data portability

In certain circumstances, you can request that we transfer personal data that
you have provided to us to a third party.

 * Rights relating to automated decision-making 

We do not carry out any automated decision making. If this changes in the
future, we will provide you with an updated notice setting out our decision
making process.

 * The right to make a complaint with the Regulator 

You have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or
any other local Data Protection Regulator if you believe that we have breached
data protection laws when using your personal data.

You can visit the ICO's website at https://ico.org.uk/ for more information. 
Please note that lodging a complaint will not affect any other legal rights or
remedies that you have.
