We will only charge or refund you provided the total amount, including the Premium Transaction Charge, is greater than or equal to the amount detailed in your Schedule. Where applicable, a government levy will be applied to your premium calculations.

 

Alteration to terms and conditions

In the event of a claim we may advise you, at the time of your next renewal, of altered policy terms and conditions which increase your premium and/or excess, and/or reduce cover.

We collect information to help us improve our products and services and let people know about products and services that we believe will be of interest to them. This may be through a range of channels including via email, online advertising, or social media. We will always do this in accordance with marketing preferences provided.


Where we obtain data from the above sources, the categories we obtain will be personal data or claims information relating to insurance profiling, claims handling and fraud prevention. We may need your consent for the processing of certain data and in these cases, we will inform you of such processing and the reason for this at the time consent is captured.


Protecting information outside the European Economic Area

Your personal data may be transferred to and/or accessed from a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). We will always take steps to ensure that any transfer of information outside the EEA is carefully managed to protect your privacy rights. Such transfer/access within the Allianz Group will be covered on the basis of the Allianz Group binding corporate rules (BCRs) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred within the Group.

Where we transfer your data to a non-Allianz Group member or other companies providing us with a service, we will obtain contractual commitments and assurances from them to protect your personal information.

Theses assurances are well recognised certification schemes like Standard Contractual Clauses. We will only transfer your personal information to countries which are recognised as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights. Any requests for information we receive from law enforcement or regulators will be carefully validated before personal information is disclosed.


Representation

If you provide information about someone else, such as an additional insured, we will endeavour to provide this Data Protection Statement to them. Where it is not possible to do so, you must make them aware of this Data Protection Statement and the terms of the insurance (including changes to the terms or processing activities) and encourage them to read this Data Protection Statement to find out more.


Online information

When you visit the Allianz website, we may record information about your computer or mobile device, including hardware and software used, general location, when and how you interact with our websites. This information is used to note your interest in our websites and improve customer journeys.
How long we keep your personal information.


We will keep your personal data only for as long as it is required for your insurance contract, to handle claims and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations as documented in our Records Management Policy. For the majority of policy data, this is seven years after the end of that transaction.

If you do not accept a quote or complete an application for an insurance policy, your data will be kept for fifteen months and processed in line with this Statement.

When a potential claim or actual claim is taken out on a policy, we hold details around this claim until a full and final settlement has been agreed. In most cases this should be seven years after the final settlement date or where a child was involved the later date of seven years after the child has turned eighteen or the settlement date. In certain cases, we are obliged to hold onto records for longer periods and we do so in line with our legal responsibilities.

For more information on our data retention policies please refer to the "Contacting us" section below.


Your rights in relation to your personal information

You have the right to request a copy of your personal data, and to have incorrect personal data about you corrected. You also have the right to object, to withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, have your personal data erased, or the processing restricted. Please note that withdrawing consent and requests for restriction/erasure may affect our ability to provide you with a contract of insurance. Some of the above rights are subject to limitations in order for us to comply with a number of legal and regulatory obligations. You have the right to data portability for insurance purposes (contact dataprotectionofficer@allianz.ie).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner. For further information, please see the section "Contacting us" below.


Automated decision making

As part of the provision of your insurance contract, including at quotation stage, Allianz may use automated decision-making. This means that we may use an automated underwriting model which uses your personal data to evaluate, analyse or predict the performance of your contract of insurance. Premiums are calculated according to the risk of loss, with the risk ascertained on the basis of profiling by way of a pricing tool and system.

This avoids unfair discrimination. Certain motor policies also use Telematics (Allianz Safe Driver App) where driving behaviour is used to measure driving performance and to determine the nature and level of the risk associated with your insurance policy. In these cases, suitable safeguards are in place, and you have the right to human intervention to express your interests and contest automated decisions.

If you are making a claim, we may use profiling and other forms of automated processing to assess if your claim may be fraudulent and we may use your sensitive information, to carry out this assessment. For example, we may use your unspent motoring convictions for motoring insurance. We use automated decision making as it is necessary for entering into, or performance of your insurance policy between you as the data subject and Allianz as data controller, and other uses such as those authorised by law.

In the event that profiling determines you have a high-risk profile; we may not be able to offer you an insurance policy. If you wish to review an automated decision with Allianz, please contact us on dataprotectionofficer@allianz.ie.
