  • We request data relating to criminal convictions to limit and exclude risks.

We also process these criminal records to prevent fraud and abuse. Criminal convictions older than 8 years need not be reported to us. Nor do you have to provide us with any data related to criminal convictions unless we specifically ask for it. Data about criminal convictions on, for example, your application form will be processed by us solely by duly authorized employees.

The written authority in which you give this consent will state what health data our medical adviser requires and from whom he or she wants to request the data. You give your consent by signing the written authority. The medical adviser is responsible for keeping your health data.

You give your consent by signing the written authority. The medical adviser is responsible for keeping your health data.
  • For the risk assessment for non-life insurance products, we may also enquire whether you have a criminal record.
Claims handling

In order to process a personal injury claim, we process your health data, among other things.

When claiming benefits due to incapacity for work or an accident, our medical adviser plays a primary role. Only the medical adviser and employees under his or her responsibility are allowed to process health data. If, for assessing your claim, the medical adviser finds it necessary to request health data from others, such as your general practitioner or attending specialist, he or she will always ask for your consent first. The written authority in which you give this consent will state what health data our medical adviser requires and from whom he or she wants to request the data. You give your consent by signing the written authority. The medical adviser is responsible for keeping your health data. When processing health data, we comply with the Code of Conduct for the Processing of Personal Data of the Dutch Association of Insurers (Verbond van Verzekeraars). Only the medical adviser may process your health data for preparing his or her medical advice. The medical adviser may ask you for additional health data for this purpose. Only with your explicit written consent, if necessary, will the medical adviser collect your health data, such as from your doctors.

Mortgages

If you purchase a mortgage product from us, the personal data we ask for may include the following:

  • name, address, date of birth, telephone number and email address
  • SSN for giving your data to the tax authorities
  • bank account number to receive payments from you or make payments to you

Profiling and automated decision-making

Sometimes we assess an application for a product or service via an automated process. In that case, we make analyses and predictions by attributing your personal data to behaviour, location and personal preferences, for example. You then receive an offer or rejection on the basis of these analyses. If you have questions about automated decision-making, please do not hesitate to contact us.

How do we handle your personal data?

For the processing of personal data, we comply with the Code of Conduct for the Processing of Personal Data of the Dutch Association of Insurers.

We handle special personal data, such as data about your health, with the utmost care.

Non-disclosure agreement

Employees sign a non-disclosure agreement when they join Allianz. Only duly authorized staff are allowed to process your personal data. In addition, our employees are continuously trained in aspects of data privacy, such as how to prevent data breaches. 

Exchange of information internally

We handle your personal data with the utmost care. Moreover, we comply with applicable privacy and other laws and codes of conduct for financial services providers. This applies to Allianz and our affiliated businesses. We have laid down all privacy rights and obligations in intra-company agreements.

We also have internal rules for the exchange of information between Allianz Nederland and foreign offices of the Allianz Group. These are binding corporate rules. You can request a copy of these rules via [email protected].

Exchange of information with third parties

For some services, we work with third parties, such as insurers, brokers, investors, reinsurers, the Central Register (Stichting CIS) and the companies that process personal data for us. If we transfer personal data to these third parties, we make agreements to guarantee your privacy. More privacy information can be found in the general terms and conditions of your insurance product, pension or mortgage.

Your data is usually processed within the European Economic Area (EER). If we share your data with a service provider located in a country outside the EER or if personal data is processed outside the EER, we make agreements so that we comply with the rules laid down for that in the European Economic Area. In that case, we use the standard contractual clauses; that’s a model approved by the European Union which establishes an adequate level of protection for the security of personal data.

Exchange of criminal records

We process criminal records in accordance with the GDPR. Moreover, we comply with the Insurers & Crime Protocol and the Financial Institutions Incident Warning System Protocol (verzekeraars.nl)

In the event of fraud and crime, we may share personal data with other financial institutions, investigative services and the Centre for Combating Insurance Crime (CBV). 

Personal data retention period

We keep your personal data no longer than necessary for the provision of our services and/or as long as required by law. In principle, we keep your data for:

  • 3 to 12 months if you do not purchase any of our products or services
  • 7 years after the end of the contract
  • 7 years after a claim has been handled

If necessary, we keep your data for longer. 

Personal data in the CIS database

For a responsible acceptance, risk and fraud policy, we record your data in the Central Register (Stichting CIS) of insurance companies operating in the Netherlands. Stichting CIS (Bordewijklaan 2, 2591 XR, The Hague) manages this data. The objective of processing personal data at CIS for us as an insurer is to assess and control risks and to combat insurance crime.

The data at CIS is used to guarantee the security and integrity of the financial sector. Anonymous data is also used for statistical analyses.

In addition, we record your customer data centrally so that we can find persons, companies, property and risk addresses in the event of serious calamities, incidents such as insurance fraud or investigative activities by the police and the judiciary.

We also register claim reports in CIS. These claim reports are neutral. We do not record any information about fault or liability. For more information, see www.stichtingcis.nl. Here you will also find the CIS Privacy Regulations.

We do all we can to make your visit to and use of our websites secure and to prevent abuse.

  • You are entitled to the access, correction and possible removal of your personal data.
  • You are entitled to ask us to limit the use of or stop using your personal data if we do not process the right personal data.
