This notice explains how we may use the details you provide us with. You should show this Data Protection Notice to anyone covered or proposed to be covered under this policy / prospective policy. By continuing with your application you confirm you have gained the consent of any named drivers for their data to be used as set out below.

I/We understand that you will and I/we authorise you to use the data in accordance with this Data Protection Notice and carry out searches with and pass the data that I have provided to you to suppliers, insurers and third parties for the purposes set out in this Data Protection Notice.

For details relating to information held about you by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency ("DVLA") please visit www.dvla.gov.uk.

Insurance underwriting purposes

Insurance underwriting purposes i.e. to examine the potential risk in relation to your (and/or a third party’s) prospective policy so that we can:

• provide your (or any person included on the proposal) Driving Licence Number ("DLN") to the DVLA to confirm your (or the relevant person included on the proposal) licence status, entitlement and relevant restriction information and endorsement/conviction data. Searches may be carried out prior to the date of the insurance policy and at any point throughout the duration of your insurance policy including at the mid-term adjustment and renewal stage. A search of the DLN with the DVLA should not show a footprint against your (or another relevant person included on the proposal) driving licence.
• search your (or any person included on the proposal) 'No Claims Discount' details against a No Claims Discount database ("NCD") to obtain information in relation to your 'No Claims Discount' entitlement. Such searches may be carried out against your (or the relevant person included on the proposal) DLN, name, date of birth, Vehicle Registration Mark (“VRM”) and/or postcode. A search of the DLN against the NCD should not show a footprint against your (or another relevant person included on the proposal) driving licence.
• searches may be carried out at point of quote and if an insurance policy is incepted at the renewal stage.

Anti-fraud purposes

Anti-fraud purposes i.e. to detect and prevent fraudulent claims and/or activities by:

• undertaking searches against your (or any person included on the proposal) DLN against details held by the DVLA to confirm your licence status, entitlement and restriction information and endorsement/conviction data. This helps insurers check information to prevent fraud and reduce incidences of negligent misrepresentation and non-disclosure. A search of the DLN with the DVLA should not show a footprint against your (or another relevant person included on the proposal) driving licence.
• search your (or any person included on the proposal) 'No Claims Discount' details against a No Claims Discount database ("NCD") to obtain information in relation to your 'No Claims Discount' entitlement. Such searches may be carried out against your (or the relevant person included on the proposal) DLN, name, date of birth, Vehicle Registration Mark (“VRM”) and/or postcode. A search of the DLN against the NCD should not show a footprint against your (or another relevant person included on the proposal) driving licence.

How your data will be processed

Your personal data will not be used for marketing. It will only be shared within organisations involved with the administration of your insurance policy or as otherwise set out in this Data Protection Notice.

We will pass details of your 'No Claims Discount' to certain organisations to be recorded on a NCD database. This will occur if information requires updating or correcting at any stage, and DLN Fair Obtaining Notice (FON).
