Steps you can take to protect your information
It’s still very important that you take some steps to help keep up security when you’re online:
How do you make sure you’re going to the right website?
Always go directly to our website by typing the address www.nrma.com.au rather than following links found in emails or elsewhere online.
Keeping safe with email
Never disclose personal, financial or debit/credit card information by email. Contact us if you’re unsure of the legitimacy of any email that appears to have come from us.
We will never ask for sensitive or personal information such as usernames, passwords or policy details if you haven’t asked for our help first.
By helping us with these things, we can both work to make your world a safer place. To report any concerns around the security or privacy of your information please email customercare@nrma.com.au.

How information is collected
Information that is not capable of identifying you, such as the number of users visiting this website, is collected through code embedded in the webpages of this website. You cannot disable the code on these pages.
Other information, such as browser type, is included in a ‘cookie’ that is sent to your computer when you are completing certain tasks on this website.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies in emails you receive either directly from us or from third party email providers sending emails on our behalf.

They also help us understand what you may find of interest and can assist us, for example, in tailoring the advertising we display to you on websites where we have an arrangement in place to serve advertisements. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way you can disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select Text only) within your email software, and you should not click on any links within the email (with the exception of the unsubscribe link).

Identity Theft is where a criminal is able, through deception, to obtain enough personal and information about you so as to fool organisations into believing they are dealing with their customer. This is a significant problem in Australia today and it's important to keep an eye on any policies you hold.
How can you tell if this has happened to you?
One common signal that you are the target of identity crime is unexpected changes to your bank and insurance policies.
What can you do?
If you think that there's been changes to your insurance policies with us that you suspect were caused by an unauthorised person, such as the addition of new policies, or changes to your address or date of birth, please contact us on 132 132.
