2. Processing of personal data in relation to customer assignments    

2.1. Howden acts as a personal data controller

In its role as an insurance intermediary, Howden must perform assignment in accordance with the Swedish Act (2018:1219) on Insurance Distribution and with due observance of the generally accepted insurance distribution practices. Howden is registered as an insurance intermediary at the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) and at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) and is under regulatory supervision in respect of insurance intermediation. Howden’s authorisations for different types insurance are listed in the Financial Supervisory Authority’s public register. Howden process personal data within its insurance intermediation to meet these requirements. Consequently, Howden acts as the sole personal data controller for all personal data processing performed within the scope of the assignment. The Client and any Insurance Company are however personal data controllers for their own respective personal data processing.

As an insurance intermediary, Howden distributes and administers insurances on behalf of the Client and provides advice and information on applicable insurances, depending on the Client’s needs. The assignment may include assisting the Client in insurance matters related to the business as stated in the Agreement entered into with the Client or as stated in Howden’s General Terms.

Under the assignment, Howden may process personal data mainly regarding representatives and representatives of the Client. Additionally, Howden may have access to or process personal data concerning individuals covered by insurances or persons that are involved in an insurance matter, to the extent that the Client has shared such data and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Within the scope of the assignment Howden process personal data primarily regarding representatives and representatives with the client. In addition, Howden may access and process personal data regarding individuals covered by an insurance or individuals involved in an insurance matter to the extent that the client shares such data and in accordance with what is described in this Privacy Policy,

2.3 How Howden collect personal data

However, in some cases personal data may be collected in a more than limited extent, for example when compiling information on the Client’s business (in some cases including claim statistics) when procuring certain insurance solutions or when assisting in complex insurance matters (under special assignment). The main personal data processing regarding the Client’s insurances and/or insurance matters is primarily performed by the insurance company (where the insurance company acts as a separate personal data controller).

Information about the Client’s business and insurance needs is mainly collected directly from the Client or from its representatives before, in relation to or during the assignment.

Howden may also within the scope of the assignment collect personal data from other parties and sources, such as insurance companies or other publicly accessible registers. These can be:

  • Credit information companies;
  • Other parties in relation to compensation claims, such as the demanding party, witnesses, experts, insurance regulators and lawyers;
