Our website uses the following social media plug-ins (“plug-ins”):

  • Share button on Facebook, powered by Facebook Inc.
  • Share button on LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Corporation,
  • Share button on Instagram, powered by Instagram, 

All plug-ins are indicated with the brand names of the respective operators Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn (“Operator”). To increase the level of data protection and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we have implemented the additional programs by means of a so-called 2-click solution. This procedure ensures that when you visit our website, no direct connection of your browser to the servers of the Operator is established. Only if you activate the plug-ins by clicking on them and thereby grant your consent to the data transfer, your browser establishes a direct connection to the server of the respective Operator. The content of the plug-ins is then transmitted by the Operators directly to your browser and integrated by them to the website.

By accepting the plug-in the Operator receives the information that your browser has accessed our website. If you logged in to your account when you visited our website, the Operator can connect your visit to your account directly. If you interact with the plug-in, e.g clicking on the Facebook button, the +1 button and the Tweet button or the LinkedIn “Share” button, the data will be transferred directly from your browser to the Operator and saved by the Operator. In addition, the information will be published on the relevant social network or on your Twitter account and will be visible to your contacts. If you do not want this data transfer to the Operators, you must log out of your respective account before you click on the plug-ins and activate them.

We will ensure that your personal data is processed in a manner that is compatible with the purposes indicated above.

For the specified purposes, your personal data may be disclosed to the following parties who operate as third party data controllers upon obtaining non-objection letter from the regulator:

For the stated purposes, we may also share your personal data upon obtaining non-objection letter from the regulator with the following parties who operate as data processors under our instruction:

  • Allianz companies;
  • Facilitators, consultants or experts managing communications and Allianz sponsored events.

We do not share your personal data with non-affiliated third parties for their own marketing use without your permission.

Finally, we may share your personal data in the following instances with law enforcement agencies, government and regulatory bodies to meet applicable legal or regulatory obligation.

Your personal data may be processed inside Saudi Arabia by the parties specified above, subject always to contractual restrictions regarding confidentiality and security in line with applicable local data protection laws and regulations. We will not disclose your personal data to parties who are not authorized to process them.

Whenever we transfer your personal data for processing by another Allianz Group company, we will do so on the basis of Approval and non –objection from the local regulator and on Allianz’ approved biding corporate rules known as the Allianz Privacy Standard (Allianz’ BCRs) which establish adequate protection for personal data and are legally binding on all relevant Allianz Group companies. Where Allianz’ BCRs do not apply, we will instead ensure that the transfer of your personal data receives an adequate level of protection.

Where permitted by applicable law or regulation, you have the right to:

We have implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data collected by Allianz via our website against unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction.
All electric messages sent to and from us 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 Local, Compliance, Risk). Every step of the process, as well as the search criteria used, are logged in an audit trail. All mails 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 and from our website 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.

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

We will retain your personal data for ten years from the date the insurance relationship ends unless a longer retention period is required or as permitted by law.
