Privacy Policy.

When you use this gap-insurance-cover.co.uk website to generate a quote for GAP Insurance, the quote is actually being generated using an online quote 'engine' provided by Surf and Protect Ltd through their main website (SurfandProtect.com).

For aesthetic purposes, the quote engine has been branded to appear seamlessly, by using the same style and appearance of the gap-insurance-cover.co.uk website. All pricing information and policy documentation is fed live from SurfandProtect.com.

As you generate and tailor a quote, certain information is captured automatically, by Surf and Protect Ltd, regarding each and every quote that is displayed onscreen to you. The information which is captured is as follows:

  • Your IP Address.
  • The value of your vehicle
  • The type of GAP Insurance policy(ies) that are quoted for.
  • The selected term (duration) of the GAP Insurance policy(ies) that are quoted for.
  • The selected Claim Limit of the GAP Insurance policy(ies) that are quoted for

The above information is captured, collated and analysed on a statistical and reporting basis only.

If you wish to have a quotation emailed to you, you will of course be required to input the email address that you want the quotation sending to. When you do this, Surf and Protect Ltd will generate the required quotation (incorporating the same styling and overall aesthetic appearance of the gap-insurance-cover.co.uk website) and send it to the email address you inputted. However we assure you that your email address, is NOT stored by the system for further use of any kind.

If you are happy with the GAP Insurance policy type, term, claim limit and price, and subsequently wish to purchase the GAP Insurance policy, clicking the "Buy Now" button will transfer you away from this gap-insurance-cover.co.uk website to the main SurfandProtect.com website upon which you will be able to continue with and complete your purchase.

The SurfandProtect.com website has an entirely different and far more comprehensive Privacy Policy than this gap-insurance-cover.co.uk website does, due to the simple fact that the SurfandProtect.com website obviously handles far more of your personal and sensitive information (as part of your actual purchase of a GAP Insurance policy) than this website does. You can review the Surf and Protect Ltd privacy policy at any time by clicking here.
