Purpose of the processing of personal data

The Company processes your information in order to manage the complete execution of the intermediation contract and, in particular, to ensure the maintenance of the relationship established between you and the insurer; to provide advice and information on the conditions of insurance contracts and financial products; to provide assistance in the event of a claim; to send commercial communications about insurance and/or financial products brokered by the Company (the user may at any time express his/her opposition to receiving commercial communications); and to comply with the legal requirements regarding the prevention, investigation and discovery of fraud and money laundering.

It is for the above reasons that failure to provide the required information will make it impossible to sign the intermediation contract. If necessary, we will record your voice to maintain the quality of the service and as evidence in and out of court. All of the above legitimises the processing in accordance with the provisions of article 6.1.b) of the RGPD.

Legitimation for data processing.

The processing of the personal data provided by the user is based on the following legal bases that legitimise the same:

  • The contracting of services from the Company and the execution of the professional assignment requested the terms and conditions of which will be made available to the user prior to an eventual contracting. In order to carry out the professional relationship requested the interested party is obliged to provide his/her data.
  • Free, specific, informed and unequivocal consent, since after reading this Privacy Policy the user is informed and, if he/she agrees, can accept it by means of a declaration or a clear affirmative action, such as ticking a box provided for this purpose.

In the event that the interested party does not provide the aforementioned data or if they are erroneous or inaccurate, we will not be able to attend to their request, making it impossible to provide them with the information requested or to carry out the contracting of the services. Therefore, the data controller, the Company, shall be exonerated from any liability that may arise from the non-execution of the professional assignment or from the consequences that may arise from this inaccurate or erroneous information.

  • Compliance with a legal obligation applicable to the controller.

Processing shall also be legitimate where processing is necessary for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; and where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Transfer of personal data.

The Company may transfer your personal data to companies in the same group, in order to internally manage the service provided and to maintain the contractual relationship. This transfer is covered by the legitimate interest by virtue of the provisions of recital 48 of the RGPD, so it will not be necessary to obtain your express consent for this operation.

Likewise, in accordance with the provisions of article 99.1 of Law 20/2015, of 14 July, on the regulation, supervision and solvency of insurance and reinsurance companies, the Company may transfer the Client’s personal data to the insurance company, solely for the purposes of guaranteeing the full performance of the insurance contract and compliance with the obligations established in said Law and its implementing provisions. They will also be provided to the insurance companies selected by you on the occasion of requests for quotations. In the event of non-payment, your data may be provided to solvency service providers, courts or tribunals if required to do so.

International data transfers

The Company will take appropriate steps to ensure that such transfers comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations.

In the case of transfers of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area for the fulfilment of the legitimate purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such transfers may be made both to countries that the European Commission (hereinafter “EC”) considers to offer adequate data protection safeguards and to countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision, provided that they comply with the provisions of the regulations.

Therefore, where the Company transfers personal data to countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision, e.g. the United States, PIB Group España will implement appropriate safeguards and controls as described in the GDPR. Where transfers are made within the PIB Group Limited group of companies, they will be covered by agreements based on the “EC” standard contractual clauses. Where transfers are outside the Group companies or to third parties who help provide our products and services, such as international brokers or surveyors, we will obtain contractual commitments from them using the standard “EC” clauses or certification schemes to protect your personal information.

However, you may at any time oppose the sending of such communications, without this opposition in any case limiting the performance of the main contract.
