MySlipcase Limited (whose registered address is Alexandra House, St Johns Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP12SB and registered company number 07749256) provides a (re)insurance news and insights database subscribed to by professionals working in the global commercial & specialty (re)insurance industry. Our database contains content, content previews and contact details, relevant to industry professionals.
Slipcase is a ‘data controller’ in respect of the personal information that it collects and stores from both site visitors and registered users.
We only collect basic personal data about registered users: including name, email and your employer.
We collect this personal information about registered Slipcase users during the registration process. We also collect some publicly available information including: IP Address, sector of the industry, current employer, sex, workplace city of employment & seniority level.
We collect the personal information about our registered users when they sign up to receive access to the Slipcase platform. We also collect personal information about you when you contact or interact with us through our website, the Slipcase platform or otherwise.
We collect, store and handle the personal information of registered users and site visitors for our legitimate interest in compiling the Slipcase platform and reporting back to our organisational clients. We do not share the names or contact details of any registered users with these organisational clients.
The Slipcase platform serves the interests of professionals working in the (re)insurance industry as it enables them to keep informed with the latest relevant news and insights.
It also serves the interests of organisations that wish to reach relevant industry audiences with their latest news and insights. (Re)Insurers will often need to communicate risk appetite, news and thought leadership with Brokers & Risk Managers. Likewise, Brokers keep Risk Managers and (Re)Insurers informed of corporate news via telephone, emails and press releases / marketing updates. The relationship between Risk Managers (Insurance Buyers), (Re)Insurers & (Re)Insurance Brokers is established and respected.
The Slipcase platform provides its registered users access to relevant insights and news from sources across the internet, and our organisational clients access to an audience of relevant industry professionals to enhance / generate working relationships.
We only collect personal data from registered users that we need in order to provide and oversee this service to registered users and to organisational clients. We believe in and carry out a policy of data minimisation. Slipcase holds no sensitive personal data on registered users (e.g. religious views, health history or criminal records).
We (or third party data processors acting on our behalf) collect, store and use your personal information listed above for the following purposes:
We may also handle personal information to keep our website and the Slipcase platform secure and to ensure that our processes and procedures are as secure as possible.
We also collect, store and use the business contact details of key individuals within organisational clients, because this is needed for us to provide our users with access to the Slipcase platform, pursuant to the platform’s contract and terms of use as signed by the organisational client. All organisational contacts will be contacted individually to inform them of their presence on the Slipcase platform as a relevant organisational and specialty contact, including a request to respond to be removed. Contacts listed on the site can also be removed at any time, by request through emailing info@slipcase.com.
Slipcase serves organisations within the Commercial & Specialty sector of the global (re)insurance industry. These include:
All the personal data that we handle is processed by our staff in the UK. However, for the purposes of IT development, hosting and maintenance, this information is located on servers within the European Union. All our staff are aware of and comply with our data protection policies. We do not share the names or contact details of any registered users with organisational clients.
Registered users’ personal information can only be accessed via a secure and password protected site. Their personal details are restricted to only those within Slipcase. All the data held within Slipcase or relating to users is stored securely on servers held in Ireland.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal information that you provide to us; but no transit over the internet can ever be guaranteed, so we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transfer over the internet to us.
The (re)insurance community keeps itself informed of corporate news face-to- face, via telephone, emails and press releases / marketing updates. The Slipcase platform is an evolution of the processes which are well established and respected within the (re)insurance industry.
Organisations subscribe via a dedicated page and presence on the Slipcase site to broadcast their brand, expertise, news and insights in order to:
Slipcase also spends considerable time updating, uploading and checking news and insights from organisational pages and third party sources to ensure the data it holds is relevant & accurate.

Slipcase endeavours to foster good practice in our client’s behaviour by not sharing names, contact details or individual roles of Slipcase registered users.

In addition to sharing some personal information with organisational clients (please note: we do not share names or contact details of any registered users with our organisational clients), we disclose information under the following circumstances:
To ensure that we do not retain your data unnecessarily, Slipcase continually checks to see if the registered users on the Slipcase platform database are still working at the organisation assigned to them, as well as still having a career in (re)insurance. We work on 12 month cycles to verify the data and make sure it is still relevant. If the registered user is still working in (re)insurance, then we will retain the relevant personal information. For our organisational clients we hold their data so long as they are in an agreed contract and subscription with Slipcase. If they decide to unsubscribe, we remove that organisation from our database and remove all personal data relating to that organisation’s page (organisational content and contacts).
