| 6.1 |
We operate on a global and worldwide basis and we therefore reserve the right to transfer personal
information about you to other countries including without limitation [For example, India, United States
of America] to be processed for the purposes outlined in the Notice. In particular, we may make such
transfers to offer, administer and manage the Service provided to you and improve the efficiency of our

privacy laws and regulations and provide appropriate protection for the rights and freedoms conferred to
individuals under such laws. |
| 6.2 |
Where we collect personal information about you in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) or the

UK or EEA for the processing purposes outlined in this Notice. This may include transfers to countries
that the European Commission (the “EC”) and UK data protection regulator consider as
providing adequate data privacy safeguards and to some countries that are not subject to an adequacy
decision. Aon has an intra-group data transfer agreement in place which regulates cross-border transfers
of your personal information within the Aon Group and which incorporates the UK standard contractual
clauses approved by the UK data protection regulator.
Where we transfer personal information to countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision, we
shall put in place appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the EC or UK
data protection regulator, as appropriate. Where necessary, we may implement additional technical,
organisational or contractual measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for your personal

7. Information Security
| |
The security of your personal information is important to us and we have implemented appropriate
security measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal information
we collect about you and ensure that such information is processed in accordance with applicable data
privacy laws. |
8. Legal Grounds for Processing
We rely on the following legal grounds to collect and use your personal information:
| a. Legal and regulatory obligations |
The collection and use of some aspects of your personal information is necessary to enable us to meet
our legal and regulatory obligations. For example, Aon is licensed and regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) and is required to provide the Service in accordance with FCA
rules. |
| b. Legitimate interests |
The collection and use of some aspects of your personal information is necessary to enable us to pursue
our legitimate commercial interests, e.g. to operate our business and to enable processing of your
claims. Where we rely on this legal basis to collect and use your personal information, we shall take
appropriate steps to ensure the processing does not infringe the rights and freedoms conferred to you
under applicable data privacy law. |
| c. Insurance purposes |
Except where we need to process special categories of data as part of the delivery of our Service, we
will not usually ask you for special categories of data (such as information relating to physical or
mental health) when you correspond with us. Depending on the nature of your correspondence with us (e.g.
as part of our [e.g. claims processing services]), it is possible that you provide us with information
that contains some special categories of personal data and which will therefore be included in the
information that we collect or record. To the extent that we do process any special categories of data
in this way, we do so under Article 9(2)(g) of the UK GDPR and Section 10(3) of the DPA 2018 (necessary
for reasons of substantial public interest), in that it meets a condition in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the
DPA 2018 and we have an appropriate policy document covering this processing activity or we will ask for
your explicit consent where appropriate to do so. |
| d. Preventing and detecting Fraud |
We will use your personal information, including information relating to criminal convictions or alleged
offences to prevent and detect fraud, other financial crime and crime generally in the insurance
industry. |
| e. Consent |
In Limited circumstances, where we collect special categories of data (such as information relating to
physical or mental health) from witnesses, family members or experts as part of deliveries of our
Service, we would do so only after seeking your explicit consent. |
9. Retention of Your Information
| |
We retain appropriate records of your personal information to operate our business and comply with our
legal and regulatory obligations. These records are retained for predefined retention periods that may
extend beyond the period for which we provide the Service to you. In most cases we shall retain your
personal information for no longer than is required under the applicable laws. We have implemented
appropriate measures to ensure your personal information is securely destroyed in a timely and
consistent manner when no longer required. |
10. Accuracy of Your Information
| |
We rely on the availability of accurate personal information in order to provide the Service to you and
operate our business. You should therefore notify us of any changes to your personal information,
particularly changes concerning your contact details, bank account details, insurance policy details or
any other information that may affect the proper management and administration of your insurance policy
and/or the Service provided to you. |
