Purposes of personal data processing
The Company processes personal data primarily for the purpose of processing on the basis of an insurance contract and further on the basis of a legal title of legitimate interest:
- Processing on the basis of an insurance contract - these include, in particular, the offer to negotiate, change or terminate insurance, the collection and calculation of premiums, the settlement of insurance claims and the payment of benefits from insurance contracts. This includes processing carried out before the conclusion of the contract for the reasons set out above, including in the event that the contract is not finally concluded. The provision of personal data is voluntary, however, without the processing of some of them (e.g. name, surname and contact e-mail) the Company's services cannot be provided.
- Improving the quality of services provided - the Company's goal is to continuously improve the services provided and customer satisfaction, and the Company also uses the processing of personal data, such as e-mail communication or telephone conversations can be used in internal customer care training.

- Fraud prevention - The Company may use selected personal information to prevent fraud. The Company continuously monitors how its services are used and strives to ensure the maximum level of personal data protection, in particular in order to be able to detect and prevent fraud and to ensure the security of the use of its services and websites.
- Retention and archiving of certain documents - as an independent intermediary, the Company is obliged to ensure the preservation of all documentation prepared in connection with the mediation of insurance products in order to be able to prove the exercise of professional care.
- Possibility to prove fulfilment of legal and contractual obligations and to defend the Company's rights in case of dissatisfaction with its services - for example complaints, judicial or out-of-court dispute resolution, enforcement of liability law, etc., especially in defence against legal claims against the Company or for the possibility of asserting legal claims by the Company against the Entities.
Automated decision making
In automated individual decision-making, personal data is processed with the help of software without human intervention on the basis of a predefined algorithm, e.g. when automatically concluding an insurance contract. In many cases, however, human operations also enter into automated processing, which means that the processing of personal data does not take place exclusively automatically. For these reasons, the Company has taken appropriate organizational and security measures to protect all personal data processed from any accidental loss, destruction, misuse, damage and unauthorized or illegal access. Employees and data processors of the Company who participate in the processing of personal data are bound by confidentiality.
Duration of personal data processing
Personal data are stored for the time strictly necessary for the exercise of rights and obligations arising from the concluded contractual relations and further for the period arising from legal regulations. Due to sectoral regulation, the Company processes individual insurance contracts that it has mediated for the period of their validity and for a further 10 years from their termination. In the absence of an agreement, the Company retains related records for the next two years from the last communication. If the purpose of the processing ceases to exist or if the Company no longer has any legal reason to process personal data, the Company's personal data will be deleted.
Recipients of personal data
The Company in the role of data controller processes personal data itself, or through the so-called processors, which are in particular:
- Partner insurance companies with which the Company cooperates for the purposes of mediation and conclusion of the insurance contract
- Other insurance companies or associations of insurance companies for the purpose of preventing and detecting insurance fraud and other illegal acts in accordance with the Insurance Act; reinsurers and reinsurance brokers
- Clients and partners of the Company cooperating in the provision of services, e.g. merchants (e-shops), online travel agents, etc., with whom the Company has concluded an appropriate agreement on the processing of personal data
- Suppliers of external services, such as accounting, auditing, consulting and legal services, as well as IT services with which the Company has a relevant agreement on the processing of personal data
- With the expressed consent of the Entities, personal data may be provided to other parties as appropriate
The processing of personal data for the above purposes takes place exclusively in the EU. The company will not transfer personal data to a third country (to a country outside the EU) or to an international organization.
