How do we use your personal information?

We process personal information that is provided by you or our clients, our retail partners, or other third parties in order to perform services. The processing of your personal information depends on the type of services we provide, applicable laws, regulatory guidance, and professional standards. Where Jencap processes your personal information on behalf of a client, retail partner, or third party, it is that entity’s obligation to ensure that you understand that your personal information will be disclosed to Jencap.

  • processing is necessary in order to enter into or perform a contract for you or on your behalf

Do we collect information from children?

Jencap does not knowingly collect information from children who have not reached the age of consent under relevant data privacy laws. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child who has not reached the age of consent, we will delete it immediately.

What Information Do We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies?

As you navigate through and interact with Jencap’s websites, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

Jencap does not collect personal information automatically, but it may tie this information to personal information about you that it collects from other sources or that you provide to Jencap.

How long do we retain your personal information?

Jencap collects and processes personal information in connection with providing its clients or retail partners with various services, each of which may be subject to minimum or maximum retention periods, as required by law or Jencap’s record retention policy. Jencap also maintains personal information supplied by former clients and retail partners, and Jencap also manages this information in accordance with its record retention policy.

We retain each category of your personal information for no longer than is reasonably necessary for one or more business purposes. Due to the nature of the services, it is not possible to predict the length of time that we intend to retain your personal information. Instead, we use the following criteria to determine whether it remains reasonably necessary to retain your personal information for one or more business purpose(s):

  • the initial business purposes for which the personal information was collected or a subsequent business purpose;
  • whether there is a retention period required by applicable contracts with third parties, professional rules of conduct, or applicable law or regulation;
  • the existence of threatened or actual litigation for which Jencap is required to preserve personal information; or
  • generally accepted best practices in the risk management and insurance brokerage industries, and/or in the industries of the applicable affiliate(s) of Jencap receiving personal information.

When we determine that it is no longer reasonably necessary to retain your personal information for one or more disclosed business purpose(s) based on the above criteria, we will delete your personal information.

Do we disclose your personal information?

We will share your personal information with insurance companies, underwriters, and retail brokers as necessary to procure insurance products requested by you or on your behalf. We may share your personal information with Jencap’s subsidiaries and affiliates as part of the process of providing services to you or to fulfill the purpose for which you provided it. We may also share your personal information with contractors, service providers, and other third parties, including claims administrators, that you or Jencap has engaged to perform services for you or to otherwise support Jencap’s business operations. These third parties are contractually bound to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which Jencap discloses it to them.

Jencap may also disclose your personal information to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Jencap’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Jencap is among the assets transferred.

Jencap may also disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, to enforce or apply our Terms of Use, or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Jencap or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection.

Do we transfer your personal information across geographies?

For certain services offered by Jencap, personal information may be transferred outside of Jencap or to third parties that may operate outside of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, India, Philippines, and China, among others. Personal information may be transferred, processed, or stored in countries that are not regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information under European law. When personal information is transferred to those countries, we put in place standard contractual clauses and other safeguards to ensure your personal information is protected. For more information about the safeguards we have put in place, please contact us using the information found in “Questions and Complaints” below.

How do we protect your information?

Jencap protects personal information using physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that are specifically designed to meet or exceed the requirements of applicable laws. Jencap employees receive training on the importance of protecting personal information, and only authorized employees have access to personal information. Subcontractors and agents are contractually bound to maintain protection of personal information and are not permitted to use the information for any unauthorized purpose.

Once Jencap receives and confirms your verifiable request, it will disclose to you, based on the nature of your request: the categories of Personal Information it has collected about you; the categories of sources for the Personal Information it has collected about you; Jencap’s business or commercial purpose for collecting that information; the categories of third parties with whom it shares that information; and/or, at your request, the specific pieces of Personal Information Jencap collected about you.

You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information. Jencap may deny your request to delete your Personal Information if retaining the information is necessary for Jencap or its service provider(s) to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which Jencap collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of Jencap’s ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract with you.

  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with Jencap.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

You further have the right to request that we correct any of your Personal Information that is inaccurate by submitting a verifiable request. We will correct any inaccurate Personal Information pursuant to your request to the extent possible using commercially reasonable efforts. We may deny your correction request if the Personal Information is accurate. We may also delete your Personal Information instead of correcting it to the extent such deletion would not negatively impact you.

You also have the right to request that we limit the use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information by submitting a request through our webform available here. If you submit such a verifiable request, we may continue to use or disclose your Sensitive Personal Information to:

  • complete a transaction for which we collected your Sensitive Personal Information, provide goods or services that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
  • detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
  • use in a short-term and transient manner, including, but not limited to, to facilitate non-personalized advertising shown as part of your current interaction with the technologies used by Jencap, but not including disclosure to third parties or use outside your current interaction with such technologies.
  • enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us; or
  • make any other uses of that information that are permitted by the CCPA and its implementing regulations.

You may submit a request to Jencap via our webform available here. An agent may submit a request on your behalf, but you must verify that your agent is authorized to do so.

After we receive your verifiable request, we will provide to you, in writing and free of charge (unless your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded), the requested information. Unless you specify a shorter period for the request and processing your request does not require disproportionate effort, we will process your request with respect to Personal Information we have collected from January 1, 2022 to the time of processing your request. You can choose to have this information delivered to you by postal mail or electronically. We will try to respond to your verified request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but if we require more time (up to another forty-five (45) days) we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Please note that we are not required to comply with your request for information more than twice in any 12-month period. If applicable, our response will explain the reasons why we cannot comply with your request.
