Site Security
PruProtect gives security the highest priority. As this is such an important issue, we have implemented an effective encryption system to protect your communications with us. As you complete a quote request or application form, it is encrypted using SSL 3 (RC4,128 bit), making it virtually impossible for someone else to read your information.
You will see a padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen to confirm that you are in a secure area.
Your personal information will be protected on our internal systems with a secure firewall to prevent unauthorised access.

We will pass your information to them for these purposes.
We will pass your information to any legal or regulatory body if required to do so.
By submitting this form you consent to us processing your sensitive personal information; such as health data.
For the above purposes it will be necessary to transfer your information to countries that provide a different level of data protection from the UK. We have contracts in place to ensure your information is protected.
