To arrange and manage your insurance and provide you with our services, we (in this Privacy Notice “we”, “our” and “us” means AWP Services New Zealand Limited trading as Allianz Partners of Level 3, 1 Byron Avenue, Takapuna, Auckland, and our agents) collect, store, use and disclose your personal information including sensitive information. We usually collect it directly from you but also from others (including those authorised by you such as your family members, travelling companions, your doctors, hospitals, and other persons whom we consider necessary including our agents). We are the “data controller” and are responsible for ensuring your personal information is used and protected in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Personal information we collect includes, for example, your name, address, date of birth, phone number, email address, medical information, passport details, bank account details, as well as other information we collect when you visit our website such as your IP address and online preferences.
Any personal information provided to us is used by us and our agents to evaluate and arrange your insurance. We also use it to administer and provide the insurance services and manage your and our rights and obligations in relation to the insurance services, including managing, processing, investigating claims and screening to comply with economic sanctions obligations. We may also collect, use and disclose it for product development, marketing (where permitted by law or with your consent), customer data analytics, research, IT systems maintenance and development, recovery against third parties, fraud investigations and for other purposes with your consent or where authorised by law. We do not use sensitive information for marketing purposes or provide that information to any third parties for marketing.
You authorise us to disclose your personal information to recipients including third parties (some of whom are data processors) in New Zealand and overseas involved in the above processes, such as travel consultants, travel insurance providers and intermediaries, agents, distributors, reinsurers, claims handlers and investigators, cost containment providers, medical and health service providers, overseas data storage (including “cloud storage”) and data handling providers, transportation providers, legal and other professional advisers, your agents, broker and travelling companions, your travel group leader if you travel in a group, your employer if you have a corporate travel policy, your bank if you have bank credit card insurance, the Insurance Claims Register and our related and group companies and Hollard. Some of these third parties may be located in other countries including in Australia, Europe, Asia, Canada or the USA. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure people we disclose your personal information to outside New Zealand are required to protect it in a way that provides comparable safeguards to those set out under New Zealand privacy law, such as via contractual data protection obligations, our group binding corporate rules or because they are subject to laws of another country with comparable protections. However, you acknowledge that sometimes overseas recipients of your personal information may not be required to protect it in a way that provides comparable safeguards to those provided under the New Zealand privacy law.
Where permitted by law or with your consent, we may contact you with offers of products or services (from us, our related companies, as well as offers from our business partners) that we consider may be relevant and of interest to you (including insurance products). This could be via telephone, post, electronic messages (including email) online or via other means. You can withdraw your consent at any time if you no longer wish to receive marketing material or promotional offers from us or our related companies and business partners by calling our Contact Centre on 0800 800 048. The collection of information is required pursuant to the common law duty to disclose all material facts relevant to the insurance sought and is mandatory. If you do not agree with the matters set out in our privacy notice or will not provide us with personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or products, process your application, issue you with a policy or process your claims. We will not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it may be lawfully used. You can: (1) seek access to your personal data and ask about its origin, the purposes of the processing, and details of the data controller or data processor and the parties to whom it may be disclosed; (2) correct and update your personal information (subject to the provisions of applicable privacy legislation), and (3) ask for a copy of your personal data in an electronic format for yourself or for someone you nominate. You may in some circumstances restrict the processing of your personal data, and request that it be deleted. Where your personal information is used or processed with your specific consent as the sole basis for processing (rather than on a contractual basis or legitimate interest), you may withdraw your consent at any time. In cases where we cannot comply with your request concerning your personal information, we will give you reasons why. You may not access or correct personal information of others unless you have been authorised by their express consent or are otherwise permitted by law.
When you provide personal information to us about other individuals, we rely on you to have first obtained each of those individuals’ consent, and have made them aware of the matters set out in this Privacy Notice.
