Who are we?

Noble Group was born in 2019 via the management buy-in of Noble Marine, a leading pleasurecraft specialist in the UK marine market.

Later that year we completed two further complementary acquisitions: Yachtline in October 2019 and WG Yachts in December 2019.

How do we collect personal information from you?

Noble Insurance Group does not typically hold personal information but some of the companies we own do, for example when you ask for a quotation from us we need to know some personal information and other relevant risk information. This enables us to input your data into our quotation system to provide a premium. If you accept the quotation we establish a policy and undertake policy administration, renewal processing and claims on your behalf. Your data can be delivered by telephone, by email or by post and will be recorded or stored on our IT and telephone recording systems.

What type of information is collected from you?

The personal information we collect will include your name, address, email address, date of birth, telephone number as well as details of the risk that you wish to insure. If you pay for your premium by debit or credit card your card information will be stored by us as well as by our third party payment processors who specialise in secure payment processing of debit and credit cards.

How is your information used?

  • To provide an insurance quotation
  • To establish an insurance policy
  • To carry out our contractual obligations
  • To seek feedback on our service
  • To notify you of important updates and changes to our products and services
  • To offer other relevant insurance products with your consent
  • To provide newsletters and communications that may be of interest

We review our data retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are required contractually or by our industry standards to retain some information for specified periods and will retain your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary or as set out in any relevant contract.

Who has access to your information?

We will not share or sell your information to Third Parties for marketing purposes.

We will share your personal information with Insurers with whom we have sought a quotation or an insurance contract on your behalf. We would advise you that our insurance providers exchange information with other Third Parties to help them check and verify the information provided and also to prevent fraudulent applications and claims. This includes the Claims and Underwriting Exchange, Credit Data Providers and HM Treasury Sanctions list. For some of our underwriting processes it is normal to make checks with a licensed credit reference agency and a record of this search will be kept.

We will share your data with Third Party Service Providers and Agents for the purpose of completing processing tasks. This will include premium transactions, claims services and other services such as legal advice, emergency call out and breakdown services.

We also store your data with our Disaster Recovery Provider in secure off-site servers as part of our Disaster Recovery Plan

Your choices

You have a choice about whether you wish to receive information from us. We will ask you for your explicit consent to communicate to you with similar insurance products and services and we will store your consent on our database. If you no longer wish to receive communications from us about the other products and services we offer you can contact us and opt out of marketing communications by emailing us at [email protected] or calling us on 01636 707606 and we will record your instruction accordingly.

How long do we keep your data?

Your personal data will be held for not less than is necessary to meet statutory or regulatory requirements or to administer your policy. For most general insurance policies this will be 7 years.

How can you update or remove your data?

Your right to access of (and rectification of) your personal data is very important to us. If any of the information we hold is inaccurate or out of date please contact us by email at [email protected] or call us on 01636 707606. You have the right to ask for a copy of the data we hold on our system in respect your personal information. If you require a copy please contact us using the details above.
