How we use your personal information and the basis on which we use it
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly we use the information you provide to:
- to provide our services and fulfil our contractual obligations to you and other third parties;
- to review, process and manage claims;
- to conduct data analysis, which helps us assess risks, price our products appropriately and improve our services;
- to operate our business activities;
- to perform administrative activities in connection with our services; and
- to audit our business.
Please note that where it is necessary for us to process your personal data for the performance of a contract, or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, your failure to provide data when reasonably requested of you could prevent us from being able to enter into a contract with you, or being able to subsequently to perform our obligations under an existing contract that is in place.
We must have a legal basis to process your personal information. In most cases the legal basis will be one of the following:
a) to complete necessary contractual checks to ensure that we can assess your suitability for our insurance products;
b) to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, and to ensure that invoices are paid correctly. Failure to provide this information may prevent or delay the fulfilment of these contractual obligations;
c) to comply with our obligations, such as due diligence and reporting obligations, and responding to binding requests from regulators, law enforcement authorities or other government authorities; or
d) to meet our legitimate interests, for example to improve our services, to ensure we price our products appropriately, to manage risk, to manage our business efficiently, to perform audits, and to maintain accurate records. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we always balance these against your fundamental rights and freedoms and put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected.
We may obtain your explicit consent to collect and use certain types of personal information when we are required to do so by law (for example, in relation to our direct marketing activities, cookies and tracking technologies).

Trium Cyber is headquartered in the United States with service providers that operate in the United States and other countries. We may transfer your personal information to the United States and other countries which may not have the same data protection laws as your home country or territory, and where such laws will apply to your personal information while it is located there, but we will protect your personal information in accordance with applicable law in the country in which you reside and this Privacy and Cookie Policy, or as otherwise disclosed to you.

We retain your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you, and for a period thereafter, in line with internal policies.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
If you would like further details about how long we retain your personal information, please contact Trium Cyber as indicated below.

EU / EEA Residents
Transferring Your Data Outside Of The EU
The personal data that we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored at, one or more countries outside the EEA or outside the jurisdiction in which you reside. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA (or outside the jurisdiction in which you reside) who work for Trium Cyber or for our Third Party Suppliers. In such cases, Trium Cyber will take appropriate steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the country of the recipient as required under the GDPR (or as required under local laws in your jurisdiction) and as described in this Notice.
If Trium Cyber cannot ensure such an adequate level of data protection, your personal data will only be transferred outside the EEA (or outside the jurisdiction in which you reside) if you have given your prior consent to such transfer and any local law requirements for the transfer have been satisfied. Your personal data is currently processed in Trium Cyber’s operating jurisdictions (including the UK and US) and India.
UK Residents
Transferring your data outside of the UK
The personal data that we collect about you may be transferred to, or stored at, one or more of Trium Cyber’s locations outside of the UK.
Transfers of your personal data to the EEA
Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the EU authorities have made an adequacy decision in respect of the UK. This means that the UK is deemed to provide an essentially equivalent level of protection for personal data to that which exists within the EU. In turn, the UK Government has made an adequacy decision in respect of the EU. On that basis, data can flow freely between the two areas.
Please note that the UK’s adequacy status has been limited to a period of 4 years from 1 January 2021.
Transfers of your personal data to jurisdictions outside of the UK and EEA
We may transfer your personal data outside UK to the United States. There is no adequacy decision in respect of the United States. This means that the United States is not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.
However, to ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection if we transfer it to third parties we have put in place the following appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects UK law on data protection:
- specific contractual protections approved for use by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure that your data is adequately protected.
Any other transfers outside the UK or EEA will be made subject to similar safeguards above.
UK / EU / EEA Data Subject Requests
If you wish to invoke any of your rights under relevant Privacy regulations or to make a general enquiry regarding Trium Cyber’s approach to securing your data, please refer to the “Contact Us” section above.
Please note that only you or someone that you authorize to act on your behalf may submit these requests.
In response to such request, we may ask you to verify your identity or to provide additional information that helps us to understand your request better. Once we have the necessary information from you regarding proof of identity, or in the case of an agent, proof of authorization, and your request is valid, we will respond to you as soon as possible but no later than within 30 days unless the number and complexity of the requests made be deemed excessively high, in which case we may extend this time by a maximum of a further two months. We will inform you if we need to make use of this additional time and why we need to do so as soon as is practicably possible.
