  • Other Allianz Group companies;
  • Authorized third party service providers, e.g. providers of embedded video players

For the stated purposes, we may also share your personal data with the following parties who operate as data processors under our instruction:

We will not disclose your personal data to parties who are not authorized to process them.

Whenever we transfer your personal data for processing outside of the EEA by another Allianz Group company, we will do so on the basis of the binding corporate rules (BCRs) of Allianz known as the Allianz Privacy Standard (APS) which establish adequate protection for personal data and are legally binding on Allianz Group companies. The public version of the APS and the list of Allianz Group companies that comply with them can be accessed here.

Where the Allianz Privacy Standard does not apply, we will instead take steps to ensure that the transfer of your personal data outside of the EEA receives an adequate level of protection as it does in the EEA. You can find out what safeguards we rely upon for such transfers (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses) by contacting us as detailed below.

  • Object to us processing your personal data, or tell us to stop processing it (including for purposes of direct marketing).
Allianz has implemented reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data collected by Allianz via the Portal against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or destruction.
All electronic messages sent to and from Allianz are protected by reasonable technical and organizational measures and may only be accessed in justified cases in line with applicable laws and regulations (e.g., court order, suspicion of criminal conduct, violation of regulatory obligations) to specific persons in defined functions (e.g., Legal, Compliance, Risk). Every step of the process, as well as the search criteria used, are logged in an audit trail. All emails are disposed of after the applicable retention period has expired.

The Internet is generally not regarded as a secure environment, and information sent via the Internet (such as to or from the Portal or via electronic message) may be accessed by unauthorized third parties, potentially leading to disclosures, changes in content or technical failures. Even if both sender and receiver are located in the same country, information sent via the Internet may be transmitted across international borders and be forwarded to a country with a lower data protection level than in your country of residence.

Allianz does not accept responsibility or liability for the security of your information whilst in transit over the Internet to Allianz. In order to protect your privacy you may choose another means of communication with Allianz, where you deem it appropriate.

We will not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary and we will hold it only for the purposes for which it was obtained.
If you have any queries about how we use your personal data, you can contact us by post or email via the details specified below:
