I helped set it up. Its an entirely legitimate database and all of its
operational details have been exhaustively discussed with the OIC.

Subject: Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Databases
Y'all,
1. Apparently this register, run by the Assoc. of British Insurers and the
Claims and Underwriting Exchange Register, run by Insurance Database
Services Ltd hold information passed to them by insurers. The aim being to
prevenrt fraudulent claims. Under the conditions of our policy (to drive
Uni vehicles) we must report any incident e.g. accident/theft (including
non-Uni vehicles) which may or may not give rise to a claim. This info is
then passed to the registers by the Uni. (Insurers say this is common
practice)
2. Also, insurance cover details are added to the Motor Insurance Database,
run by the Motor Insurers' Information Centre (MIIC). Set up to help
identify uninsured drivers and may be searched by police to help confirm who
is insured to drive.
My questions are: Does this sound OK? Is there sensitive data involved? Is
it fair processing (by making it a condition of policy)? Anybody any
experience of these DB's ? Views?
