How to contact us
What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you register with us or place an order for products or services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in competitions. Website usage information is collected using cookies.
How will we use the information about you?
We collect information about you to process your application, to email you about other products and services we think may be of interest to you. We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website. If you agree, we shall pass on your personal information to our partners to offer you products or services you have specifically enquired about.
We do not currently show product results on our pages, only guideline information as everything is specific to individuals circumstances and requirements. We take your basic information that enables an expert to contact you to assist you in finding the right policy. Health insurance is very complex and in order to ensure you have the correct level of cover and are not underinsured, we believe this to be better consumer outcome albeit, it will require a small amount of your time on the phone discussing it with the experts that contact you.
Shft Marketing Limited will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies outside of this. In processing your application, we may send your details to, and also use information from credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies.
Users can expect to receive products, information, services or special offers from Monetise Media Ltd their Privacy Policy and their Client list. Users can also expect to receive products, information, services from Touchstone Education LLP
We work with Contact State
We work with Contact State in order that we can pass on your request to our partners correctly. Contact State provides lead validation services to us and our insurance provider partners and their intermediaries. Contact State receives “de-identified” data from us about your request – this means devoid of any contact information, or anything else identifying you as an individual person in the “real world”. It uses that de-identified data to help confirm your request has been submitted by a “real” human and not a robot, or automated request generator. This is done by examining a “browser fingerprint” associated with your request – it contains, for example, details of the model of device you are using, your Internet browser, and the region from which you submit your request. Contact State retains that de-identified data for its own purposes as “data controller” and uses it to help verify requests submitted through other websites.
If you do not want us to pass your de-identified data to Contact State, please contact us by emailing [email protected].
We also use Contact State to check some basic details in your submission (for example, the postcode), and to route your submission in its “raw” plain-text form to the insurance providers and intermediaries we work with. In doing this, Contact State acts as our “data processor” – it does not use the raw data for its own purposes.
You can find out more about how Contact State uses this data here – https://www.contactstate.com/legal/prospect-notice/
