To offer or provide you with our insurance services, we, namely
AWP Australia Pty Ltd ABN 52 097 227 177 trading as ‘Allianz

stores, uses, and discloses your personal information including
sensitive information. The insurance cover arises from a Group

which you are entitled to cover as a beneficiary when you meet
the eligibility criteria set out in the Group Policy wording.
We usually collect your personal information directly from you,
but sometimes from others depending upon the circumstances.
For example, when you make a claim for cover, we may
collect your personal information from you, the Group Policy

airlines, travel and accommodation providers, your agents and

information to enable us to properly assess and manage your
insurance claim, and to provide the services we have agreed to
provide under the Group Policy. For example, we collect your
name, address, date of birth, email address, and sometimes
your medical information, bank account details, as well as other
information we collect through devices like ‘cookies’ when you
visit our website such as your IP address and online preferences.
We use your personal information to offer and provide our
services and to manage your and our rights and obligations in
connection with your claim. For instance, we use it to check,
process, and finalise your insurance claim. We may also use it
for product development, customer data analytics, research, IT
systems maintenance and development, recovery against third
parties, for the detection and investigation of fraud, and for
other purposes with your consent or where permitted by law.
We do not use your personal or sensitive information for
marketing purposes or provide that information to any third
parties for marketing.
Your personal information may be disclosed to third parties
