The types of information, including personal information, we may collect

We collect your personal information when you provide it to us. "Personal information" is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you as an individual. We may automatically collect certain information when you use, access, or interact with our Online Services. We may also collect information from other sources, such as social media platforms that may share information about how you interact with our social media content.

Information you provide to us voluntarily

Generally, you can use our Online Services without providing us with any personal information.

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including when you communicate with us via email or other channels; when you sign up for or request that we send you our e-alerts, or other marketing materials; when you submit an application for an employment position with us; and when you respond to our communications or requests for information. The information you provide may include your name, contact information, title, and information about the organisation with which you are affiliated.

Information we may collect automatically through cookies and similar technologies

We use browser cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and store certain information when you use, access, or interact with our Online Services.

For information about how we use Cookies and the choices you may have, please see our Cookies Policy.

Please note that we do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that may allow you to opt out of the collection of information across networks of websites and online services as there is no standard for how online services should respond to such signals. As standards develop, we may develop policies for responding to do-not-track signals that we will describe in this Privacy Policy.

How we may share the information we collect

Crown Global is a global provider of insurance solutions for high net worth individuals, hedge funds, private equity and institutional investors. Our offices and business entities share information with each other for business purposes such as, internal administration, promoting our services, and providing you or your organisation with insurance services. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share any information with unaffiliated entities except as expressly described in this Privacy Policy or with your prior permission. We may share anonymised information that does not reasonably identify you or your organisation only as permitted by applicable law.

We may also share information we collect with:

Employees of Crown Global but their use shall be limited to the performance of their duties and in line with the reason for processing. Our employees are required to keep that information confidential and are not permitted to use it for any purposes other than to provide insurance services or to deal with requests which are submitted to us.
Third-party service providers engaged by us to perform services on our behalf, such as web-hosting companies, information technology providers and analytics providers;
Law enforcement, courts or tribunals, other government authorities, or third parties (within or outside the jurisdiction in which you reside) as may be permitted or required by the laws of any jurisdiction that may apply to us; as provided for under contract; or as we deem reasonably necessary to provide our services. In these circumstances, we take reasonable efforts to notify you before we disclose information that may reasonably identify you or your organisation, unless giving prior notice is prohibited by applicable law or is not possible or reasonable in the circumstances.
Service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets.

Legal grounds for using personal information

We rely on the following legal grounds to process personal information, namely:

Consent – We may use personal information as described in this Privacy Policy subject to your consent. To withdraw your consent to such use, you can contact us via our Contact Us page. Where required by applicable laws, we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from your device or computer.
Performance of a contract – We may need to collect and use personal information to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have entered into with us. For example, when you engage Crown Global to provide an insurance policy we will use your personal information to respond to provide you with such services.
Legal obligation – We may need to collect and use personal information to comply with legal obligations to which Crown Global is subject. This includes undertaking client due diligence and background checks (known as “KYC” or “know your client” checks) as well as all other anti-money laundering or other legal obligations.
Legitimate interests – We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests to provide insurance services and to improve our services. Consistent with our legitimate interests and any choices that we offer or consents that may be required under applicable laws, we may use personal information for our marketing purposes and other technical information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Third-party services and content

Our Online Services may include integrated content or links to content provided by third parties. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy, security, or other practices of the third parties that provide such content.

We engage third parties that support the operation of our Online Services, such as analytics providers. These third parties may use technologies to track your online activities over time and across different websites and online platforms.

Measures we take to protect and safely storing the information we collect

Crown Global is a global provider of insurance solutions for high net worth individuals, hedge funds, private equity and institutional investors. The Online Services are controlled and operated by Crown Global from the United States. We may store the collected information in the United States or in other countries where we or our service providers have facilities. We may process the information we collect in jurisdictions where we or our service providers have facilities, including but not limited to Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Zurich and the United States.

However, to ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place standard data protection clauses with all members of the Crown Global Group or service providers who we may share information with to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent. If you require further information about this protective measure, please contact us via our Contact Us page.

In addition we deploy administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and safeguard the information that we collect. This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your data that they will protect the data with safeguards designed to provide a level of protection equivalent to that adopted by Crown Global.

However, no information system can be 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.

Retention of the information we collect

We retain the information we collect for no longer than is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collect the information and to comply with our legal obligations.

Your choices and rights

To withdraw your consent to the use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy you can contact us via our Contact Us page. Please note that in some circumstances this may mean that we can no longer provide our services to you. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can also let us know via our Contact Us page. The electronic marketing communications we send you also contain opt-out mechanisms that allow you to opt-out from receiving those communications, update your contact information or change your preferences at any time. We will honour your choice and refrain from sending you such announcements. You may also opt back in to receive those communications at any time.

Subject to local law, you may have certain rights regarding information that we have collected and that is related to you. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information that we have collected about you is inaccurate or out of date. You can also ask us to see what personal information we hold about you and to erase your personal information if it is no longer required. You may also tell us if you object to our use of your personal information.

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors and in some instances, we will not be able to comply with your request, for example because we have legitimate grounds for not doing so or where the right doesn’t apply to the particular information we hold on you.

If you would like to discuss or exercise the rights you may have, you can contact us via our Contact Us page.
