We, Polaris U.K. Limited, take the issue of privacy very seriously. Please read this Privacy Statement to see how we will treat any information that is provided to us.

We may change this Privacy Statement from time to time and the change will take effect once the revised Privacy Statement is available on our home page.

The information we collect

We collect information from users when they register to use imarket. This information may include their company name, contact address, the name of the company representatives(s) utilising the services via the imarket and their contact e-mail address(es).

How we use information

We will use the information provided to us to enable us to obtain an insurance company's or Lloyd's syndicate's consent or other companies' providing insurance related services consent to providing you with direct access to their extranet sites or websites. We do not use information provided to us for marketing purposes or share information with third parties.

We take reasonable care to keep any information provided to us secure and to prevent any unauthorised access or use of it. The imarket will provide the facility for information to be submitted in structured e-mails for conversion and onward transmission as fax to numbers embedded within structured e-mail addresses. The security of the content of such transmissions cannot be guaranteed following conversion to fax. Users must therefore take particular care that fax numbers embedded in e-mail-for-fax addresses are correct.

Use of Cookies

Please note that to enable you to access and use imarket we use "session cookies" . A "session cookie" is a software application that tracks our users' navigation of the imarket and stores that information on their hard drives but only for as long as a user is logged on to the imarket or has its browser open. If you do not wish a "session cookie" to be used on your hard drive you should not access imarket.

Where your access to imarket is made via an integrating application, certain unique electronic security information (referred to in the Terms and Conditions of Use as "Polaris Control Information") will be transferred to and reside upon the systems hosting the integrating application. This information is used solely for verifying the identity of users of the imarket and without its use the imarket service will not work.

Updating your information

In the event that there is a change to any information that you provide to us, please let us know of this by writing to Polaris UK Limited at 100 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5JD, so that we can keep your information up to date and accurate.
