Lloyd's CCPA Privacy Policy1
UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S, LONDON
This California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Policy explains how Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, London (“we” or “us”) collect, use, and disclose personal information subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). “Personal information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident (“consumer”) or household. This CCPA Privacy Policy also describes the privacy rights of California consumers and how they can exercise those rights.
The CCPA does not apply to certain types of information, such as information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) or the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). This means that this CCPA Privacy Policy may not apply to personal information that we collect about individuals who seek, apply for, or obtain insurance products or services for personal, family, or household purposes. The CCPA also has limited application to personal information we collect in connection with providing a product or service to a business.

1 This privacy policy does not cover agents of the Underwriters or visitors to the Underwriters’ websites. If the Underwriters are selling personal information of agents and coverholders, or they have a website, they will need a separate policy for these individuals.
2 The categories of personal information under the CCPA that are most likely being collected have been listed. The categories of personal information we did not include are biometric information; geolocation information; internet or other electronic network activity; or audio, electronic, visual, or olfactory information since it seemed unlikely that the Underwriters are collecting this information. This section should be customized so that categories or types of personal information not being collected are deleted. If a specific type of personal information is collected that is not included, that specific piece of personal information should be added to the relevant category.
3 The categories of personal information under the CCPA that are most likely being collected have been listed. The categories of personal information we did not include are biometric information; geolocation information; internet or other electronic network activity; or audio, electronic, visual, or olfactory information since it seemed unlikely that the Underwriters are collecting this information from affiliates or third parties. This section should be customized so that categories or types of personal information not being collected are deleted. If a specific type of personal information is collected that is not included, that specific piece of personal information should be added to the relevant category.
4Underwriters should confirm this section is accurate as to the parties with whom personal information is shared.
5 It has been assumed that the Underwriters are not selling consumers’ personal information and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information has therefore not been included. If personal information is being sold, this notice will need to be amended/updated.
6 CCPA requires that insurers provide a toll free contact number, for consumers to make requests. This is an obligation that Underwriters will need to rely on their coverholders for, so this should be provided /completed by the coverholder. It is not required that the toll-free number be answered by a live individual.
