Advisio is a brokerage firm in distribution of corporate specialty casualty insurances in the region of Slovenia and wider Central and Eastern European region. We offer retail, wholesale and reinsurance services and specialty casualty insurance solutions to other business entities by offering direct access to Lloyd’s insurance market. Since we operate through a B2B business model, we only collect limited amount of personal data namely: (i) personal data of contact persons of our business partners such as name and surname, position, company, e-mail, telephone number and other data which are necessary to enter into a business relationship with such companies; and (ii) personal data of insured parties that are natural persons. With respect to the former, we need to keep and process certain personal data of our business partners for normal contractual purposes. With respect to the latter we only gather and process data that are necessary for a specific product and its coverage. As a key rule, Advisio collects your data only if we received it directly from you during contractual relationship.

Such personal data will be used for our management and administrative use only. We will keep and use it to enable us to run the business and manage our relationship with you effectively, lawfully and appropriately. Non-disclosure of such personal data automatically means that we are no longer able to offer you our insurance consulting services.
Furthermore, we may gather some of your data, including further personal data, that is transferred to us voluntarily based on a claim and/or complaint procedure under an existing insurance policy. In such a case we endeavour to process such data only for the purpose of handling the claims procedure.

We may use personal information of our existing business partners such as other independant brokers or clients to contact them from time to time by e-mail with details about other related insurance products or services offered by Advisio which we think will be of interest to them in order to provide them with a personalised service and to give them details of our related services / offers.

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes without giving reasons.
