Lawful basis
Our lawful basis for processing your personal information varies depending on the purpose of processing; for example the basis might be where the processing is reasonably necessary for or directly related to our functions or activities.
Data transfers to third parties
We may transfer your personal data to third parties who are primarily business partners, reinsurers, third party administrators, and other parties involved in the processing of insurance claims.
We are sometimes required to share data with other entities to comply with a law or regulation; or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect our customers’ or others’ rights. This could include state or federal authorities, courts, external advisors, and similar third parties. It may also include exchanging your personal data with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud prevention.
Our transfers are subject to a process of risk assessment. We have formal agreements in place with recipients outside Australia to ensure they provide an adequate level of protection for your data, including technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data.
International Transfers
We have formal agreements in place with recipients outside Australia to ensure they provide an adequate level of protection for your data, including technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data.
In addition to Australia, Enstar Group Companies are located in Bermuda, the USA, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Where personal data transfers occur to these destinations, they are governed by safeguards which include International Group Data Transfer Agreements which contain, where necessary, the appropriate Model Contract Clauses for such transfers. We may transfer any information we collect mentioned above to Enstar Group companies within these destinations.
Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of your home jurisdiction, we ensure it receives appropriate protection as required by law. To keep this notice as short and easy to understand as possible, we have not set out the specific circumstances in which each of these protection measures are used. You can contact us using the details below for more information about this.

Retention Periods
We only retain data for as long as necessary to process your data. Our retention policy varies depending on the categories of information we collect and according to applicable law. Due to the nature of our business, we hold most information for ten years, but this could be longer depending on our obligations to you or whether we have an ongoing legal dispute with you. A copy of our retention policy can be obtained on request.
Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously and we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing, including:
- the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services
- the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner, unless this has been irrevocably anonymized or erased; and
- a process for regularly testing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures.
We ensure that those who have permanent or regular access to personal data, or who are involved in the processing of personal data, or in the development of tools used to process personal data, are informed of their responsibilities when processing personal data.
