All information you share with us is held in the strictest confidence, in compliance with privacy standards followed by all major British financial institutions. You are the only one who can access your policies, using your password and email address.

If you pay for your insurance with us by credit card, you will also have the extra protection of the Consumer Credit Act. Your maximum liability of your credit card is £50 if it is lost or stolen or used fraudulently and your liability stops as soon as you tell your credit card company what has happened.

ARAG Legal Expenses Insurance Company Ltd (“ARAG”) and Call Assist Ltd, (respective insurers and administrators of Start Rescue breakdown cover policies) are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). In the unlikely event that an insurance provider goes out of business or into liquidation, you may be entitled to compensation from the scheme. This would take place if the FSCS is not able to transfer your policy to another insurer or provide a new policy. For claims against the insurers, 90% of the insurance claim is covered, with no upper limit. For compulsory classes of insurance, insurance arranging is covered for 100% of the claim, without any upper limit. Further information is available from the FSCS at 10th Floor, Beaufort House 15 St Botolph Street, London EC3A 7QU. Tel:0800 6781100 or via www.fscs.org.uk.
