To arrange and manage your travel insurance,
we (in this Privacy Notice “we”, “our” and “us” includes the Authorised
Representative) collect personal information from you and others (including
those authorised by you such as your doctors, hospitals and persons whom we
consider necessary).
Any personal information you provide is used
by us to evaluate and arrange your travel 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 and investigating claims. We may also collect, use and disclose it
for product development, marketing, research, IT systems maintenance and
development, recovery against third parties, and for any other purposes with
your consent.
This personal information may be disclosed to
(and received from) third parties in Australia or overseas involved in the
above process, such as travel consultants, travel insurance providers and
intermediaries, authorised representatives, reinsurers, claims handlers and
investigators, cost containment providers, medical and health service
providers, legal and other professional advisers, your agents and our related
companies. The use and disclosure of such personal information will be provided
to third parties for the primary purposes stated above. The personal
information (but not sensitive information) may also be used for a secondary
purpose, but only if you would reasonably expect us to use that information for
such secondary purpose.
When you give personal information about other individuals, we and our agents
rely on you to have made or make them aware:
-
that you will or may provide their information to us;
-
the types of third parties to whom the information may be provided;
-
the relevant purposes we and the third parties will disclose it to, will use it
for; and
-
how they can access it.
We rely on you to have obtained their consent on these matters.
If you have not done or will not do either of these things, you must tell us or
our agents before you provide the relevant information.
You can seek access to and correct your personal information by
contacting us. You may not access or correct personal information of others
unless you have been authorised by their express consent or otherwise under
law, or unless they are your Dependants under 16 years.
If you do not agree to the above or will not provide us with
personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or
products or may not be able to process your application nor issue you with a
policy. In cases where we do not agree to give you access to some personal
information, we will give you reasons why.
