Protecting Information Accessed/Transferred Outside the European Economic Area (EEA)

Your personal data may be transferred to and/or accessed from a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), such as but not limited to United States of America and India. In such cases, we will always take steps to ensure that any transfer of information outside the EEA is carefully managed to protect your privacy rights. These transfers may involve Allianz Group companies and trusted third-party service providers supporting business functions such as, but not limited to, business analysis and marketing management.

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.

Certain Allianz Group entities outside the EEA may be granted limited, secure remote access to this data to perform these functions, as explained in “How We Share Your Personal Information with Others.” This access is granted only when necessary and under strict security and authorisation protocols.

Where we transfer your data outside the EEA to a non-Allianz Group member or other companies providing us with a service, we will rely on:

  • Adequacy decisions under Article 45 of the GDPR (e.g., transfers to countries like the UK), or
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission under Article 46 of the GDPR, or
  • Other recognised safeguards such as participation in Data Privacy Frameworks approved by the European Commission under the Article 45 of the GDPR.

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.

The Allianz Consent tool specifically controls the marketing cookies and performance cookies set by using our primary public website (allianz.ie).  Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tool be used to block cookies on third party websites linked from our website.
