This data collection notice describes how the ABI collects and uses personal information about you when you access the ABI AICAS platform ('the Platform'). The collection is in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK data protection laws.
This notice relates to the nominated individuals from ABI member or other companies who have been authorised on behalf of those members or companies to access the Platform.
We may update this notice at any time.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). There are "special categories" of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection.
The personal information we hold on you because you have been given access to the Platform will consist of your name, contact information and your job title because this was given to us by you or by the company you work for.
We may also collect information about you as a result of our use of cookies and tracking beacons/tracked clickable links or similar web-based technologies which help us to track responses to and subscriber activity in relation to the Platform, including actions you take and any errors you encounter while using the Platform.
Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to track visitor use of the Platform and to compile statistical reports on the activity in the Platform.

The data controller in respect of personal information we may hold about you is the Association of British Insurers.
We process your personal information for the purposes of:
In most cases, we process your personal information for the purpose of pursuing our legitimate interests as a business. Those interests include the efficient operation of our business; maintaining standards of service for our members; and the protection of our business. We may send you notifications from time to time.
In some instances we may rely on your express consent to use your personal information, but we will let you know (and give you the chance to withdraw consent) if we do.
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
We share your information with third-party service providers, where they reasonably require it to perform their obligations or in order to enable us to achieve the objective of our processing. The service providers include companies that maintain the Platform.
We may share your personal information with other third parties as required by law.
Where needed in order to enable us to achieve the objective of our processing the data as described above we may transfer your personal information to third parties outside the European Economic Area. Where we do so we will only transfer your personal information to third parties outside the EEA if that third party (a) is situated in a country that has been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate protection to personal information, or (b) has agreed (by way of written contract) to provide all protections to your personal information as required by data protection legislation. Any query concerning this should be addressed to our Legal team, whose details are set out in the final paragraph of this notice.
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and for as long as we have a business reason for doing so.
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
Please contact the ABI’s Legal team ([email protected]) in writing for further information about these rights.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
If you have any questions about how we process your personal information please contact the ABI’s Legal team ([email protected]). We hope that we will be able to address any questions or concerns you may have. However, you also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues, at www.ico.org.uk.
