To undertake this process, insurance market participants must compile and analyse information received from insureds to model the likelihood of such events occurring. As such Shepherd Compello and other insurance market participants may use your Personal Data to build models that help to determine insurance premium pricing. Generally such models will use anonymised data that cannot be traced back to an identifiable natural person.
