Privacy Policy

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This policy explains what personal information we may have, how we use it and how you can check and update any of your personal information. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “we” and “our” means Car Protect Warranties Limited (Car Protect).

Why do we collect your personal information?
We collect information to help manage your account in respect of:

  • Delivering products and services relevant to you (whether we provide them or not).
  • Improve our products and services and developing new ones.
  • And to manage our network and help us run and grow our business.

The law also requires us to keep some information. Occasionally this information will be anonymised so you can’t be identified.

The type of Information we have
The information we have about you includes things like who you are, how you use our products and services and, if applicable how you pay for a product.

Who you are may include:

  • Your name, email & postal address, gender, age, etc.
  • Your debit or credit card details, bank details and other payment information.
  • Your interests and preferences.


We may also collect information when you contact us and when you use our products and services. For example, when:

  • We administer a claim.
  • You contact us to ask something via the phone, online or email.
  • Buy from us – whether it’s online, over the phone, through an appointed representative or somewhere else.
  • Handle a complaint or expression of dissatisfaction.
  • Go to our website, or the sites of any other companies that we are connected with.
  • Enter any promotions, competitions or prize draws through one of our services

We may also collect information from other sources, including business directories and other commercially or publicly available sources.

How we use your information
We use and analyse your information to keep in touch with you and to supply and improve our products and services. We may also use your information to tell you about products and services that we think may interest you. Sometimes we’ll combine and anonymise this information so you won’t be identified.

In particular, this means using your information to:

  • Manage a claim and help you to manage your claim.
  • Get in touch with you (e.g. if we need to tell you about any problems with a service).
  • Keep things secure, detect and prevent fraud and money laundering.
  • Look into any complaints or questions you may raise.

Or to:

  • Improve our (and any third-party partners) products and services.
  • Send you information about our products and services (or those from selected third parties we think you’d be interested in) by phone, leaflet, email, text or other ways. For some of this marketing activity we need your specific consent and, in those circumstances, we will only send you messages if you have asked to receive them. You can check and update your current preferences, including consent at any time.

We are allowed to use your information in these ways and share the information as described below because:

  • We need to so that we can provide you with products and services and to manage your account with us.
  • We need to use some of your information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
  • Some of our use of your information is necessary for our legitimate business interests e.g. administering a claim.
  • You have given your consent to us using your data in relation to some form of use that you have given us consent for. You can opt out of this at any time.

How we share your information
In connection with the purposes described above, we may share your information with others.

  • Other companies in the Aros Holdings Group. This includes but is not limited to, Car Protect Direct, Goldshield, MyCoverPlan, WLM, CarProtect their respective partners, agents and sub-contractors.
  • Insurance and warranty providers when you take out a policy or have a claim administered through us.
  • New or prospective partners of Car Protect UK Limited.

We might also share your information:

  • With any public authority or law enforcement agency (if they ask for it).
  • To comply with law or regulations, or for possible legal proceedings.
  • If you give us personal information that’s wrong or we find out (or think) you’re responsible for fraud. In these circumstances we might share your information with third parties such as law enforcement agencies, credit reference agencies and other affected third parties.
  • If one of our partners who are processing information for us are compelled to do so by law.
  • If there’s an emergency and we think you or other people are at risk.

Why we keep hold of your information
There are certain reasons we have to keep hold of your information.

We keep information while you’re our customer or after you’ve left us, but only as long as we need it for the purposes described above. How long we keep it depends very much on the type of information and purpose.

For example, we might need to sort out disagreements, stop fraud, prove that you had an account with us or follow our legal obligations. Or the police may need it as evidence. We may also keep information about how you use our products or services.

In each case, the length of time that we need to keep the information may be different, but we will only keep the information for as long as we need it.

Your rights
You have a number of legal rights in relation to the information that we hold about you, including:

  • The right to withdraw your consent to the use of your information where we are relying on that consent (for example, you can opt out of receiving marketing messages from us). Please note that we may still be entitled to process your information if we have another legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so.
  • The right to ask that we update your information if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to ask that we erase your information in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your information but we are legally entitled to retain it.
  • The right to request that we restrict the processing of your information in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you ask us to restrict the processing of your information, but we are legally entitled to refuse that request.
  • The right to make a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office www.ico.org.uk if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
