This may include information about previous quotes obtained, background and contact information on the prospective policyholder, insured, beneficiaries and matters in relation to the assessment of risk and management of insurance policies. The level and type of personal data we collect and use varies depending on the type of policy that is applied for or held and may include information on other individuals who need to be considered as part of the policy. In some instances, it is necessary for us to collect and use Sensitive Personal Data, such as information about health condition or medical records.

If you are an insured person, from time to time, you may need to provide us with the personal data of third parties, for example an injured third party in relation to a claim under a liability policy. Wherever possible, you should take steps to inform the third party that you need to disclose their details to us, identifying Chubb as your insurer and obtain their consent. We will process their personal data in accordance with this Policy.
Claimants. If you are making a claim under a policy, we will collect your basic contact details together with information about the nature of your claim and any previous claims. If you are an insured person we will need to check details of the policy you are insured under and your claims history. Depending on the nature of your claim, it may be necessary for us to collect and use Sensitive Personal Data, such as medical records and details of an insured event in which you may have suffered during an accident or disease.

For more information on what information we collect, please see Appendix 1.
3. When do we collect your personal data?
Prospective Policyholder, Insureds
· We will collect information from you directly when you apply for an insurance policy.
· Information about you may also be provided to us by an insurance agency, insurance broker, your employer, family member or any other third person who may be applying for an insurance policy which names or benefits you.
· We may collect information about you from other sources where we believe this is necessary to manage effective underwriting of the risk associated with a policy and/ or helping fight financial crime, insurance profiteering. These other sources may include public registers and databases managed by credit reference agencies, government agencies, and other reputable organizations.
Claimants
· We will collect information from you when you notify us of a claim. You might make a claim to us directly or through your representative or through your broker or one of our representatives who manage claims on our behalf.
· We may also collect information about you if the claim is made by another person who has a close relationship with you or is otherwise linked to the claim - for example if the policyholder is your employer, or if you are the subject of a third party claim.
· We may also be provided with information by your lawyers (or acting on behalf of your employer).
· We may collect information from other sources where we believe this is necessary to assist in validating claims and/ or fighting financial crime. This may include consulting public registers, social media and other online sources, credit reference agencies and other reputable organizations.

We may also use Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) technology to automate responses to voice commands, and to analyze call recording data. We use call recordings as an evidence of your agreement to purchase an insurance policy or submit a claim, to help train our staff and to provide an accurate record of the call in case of complaints or queries. We may also analyze call recordings using automated technology in order to detect where there may be customer service failings (and then to resolve these), or to detect potential evidence of fraud.
4. What do we use your personal data for?
We use your personal data for the purposes set out below. Please refer to Appendix 2 for more details, including in relation to the legal basis we rely upon in each case.
Prospective Policyholders and Insureds. If you are a prospective policyholder or insured, we will use your Personal Data to consider an application for an insurance policy, assess and evaluate risk, and subject to applicable terms and conditions, provide you with a policy. If we have provided you with your policy, we will use your personal data to administer your policy, deal with your queries, and manage the renewal process. We will also need to use your personal data for regulatory purposes associated with our legal and regulatory obligations as a provider of insurance.
Claimants. If you are a claimant, we will use your personal data to assess the merits of your claim and potentially to pay out a settlement. We may also need to use your personal data to evaluate the risk of potential fraud. If you are also an insured person, we will use personal data related to your claim to inform the renewal process and potentially future policy applications.
Business Partners and Visitors. If you are a business partner, we will use your personal data to manage our relationship with you, including sending you marketing materials (where we have appropriate permissions) and to invite you to events. Where relevant, we will use your personal data to deliver or
request the delivery of services, and to manage and administer our contract with you or with your employer. If you are a visitor, we will use your personal data; typically, to register for certain areas of our website, enquire for further information, distribute requested reference materials, or invite you to one of our events.
Data analytics. We routinely analyze information in our various systems and databases to help improve the way we run our business, to provide a better service and to enhance the accuracy of our risk and other actuarial models. We take steps to protect privacy by aggregating and where appropriate anonymizing data fields before allowing information to be available for analysis.
5. Protecting your privacy
We will make sure that we only use your personal data for the purposes set out in Section 4 of this Policy where we are satisfied that:
· Our use of your personal data is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you (e.g. to manage your insurance policy);
· Our use of your personal data is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have (e.g. to comply with requirements of the State Bank of Vietnam);
· Our use of your personal data is necessary to support legitimate interests that we have as a business (for example, to improve our products, or to carry out analytics across our datasets), provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate, and that respects your privacy rights; or
· You have provided your consent to us using the data in that way.
Before collecting and/ or using any Personal Data we will establish a lawful exemption which will allow us to use that information. If your Personal Data is collected on a form (including on a website) or over the telephone, further information about the exemption may be provided on that form. This exemption will typically be:
· Your explicit consent;
· The establishment, exercise or defense by us or third parties of legal claims; or
· A specific exemption provided by law which is relevant to the insurance industry.
PLEASE NOTE. If you provide your explicit consent to permit us to process your Personal Data, you may withdraw your consent to such processing at any time. However, you should be aware that if you choose to do so we may be unable to continue to provide insurance services to you (and where you withdraw consent to an insurer’s or reinsurer’s use it may not be possible for the insurance cover to continue). This may mean that your policy needs to be cancelled. If you choose to withdraw your consent we will tell you more about the possible consequences, including the effects of cancellation, (which may include that you have difficulties finding cover elsewhere), as well as any fees associated with cancellation (if any). Please see Appendix 2 to find out more about the information we collect and use about you and why we believe it is appropriate to use that information for such activities.
6. Who do we share your personal data with?
We work with many third parties, to help manage our business and deliver services. These third parties may from time to time need to have access to your personal data.
For Prospective Policyholders, Insureds these third parties may include:
· Insurance Agencies, Insurance Brokers, Other Insurers/Reinsurers and Third Party Administrators who work with us to help manage the underwriting process and administer our policies.
· Service Providers.
· Healthcare providers.
· Our regulators, which includes the MOF, MPS, as well as other regulators and law enforcement agencies in Vietnam and around the world.
· Agencies and organizations working to prevent fraud in financial services.
· Lawyers and other professional services firms and partners such as medical professions, accountants, actuaries, auditors, experts, consultants, banks and financial institutions that service our accounts.
· Your employer or company acting on your employer’s behalf to monitor, audit or otherwise administer our services and fulfil contractual obligations in relation to our services (in the case that you are entitled to our services because your employer has signed an agreement with us to provide you with insurance cover and other additional covers and services as it may apply).
We may be under legal or regulatory obligations to share your personal data with courts, regulators, law enforcement or in certain cases other insurers. If we were to reorganize part of our businesses, we would need to transfer your personal data to the purchaser, transferee of such businesses or other third parties in connection with the sale, reorganization, transfer or disposal of our businesses. We may also share your personal data with any other persons acting for or on behalf of or jointly with Chubb in respect of a directly related purpose for which your personal data was required.
Descriptions of certain categories of third parties and defined terms are set out below.
Assistance Providers: these are a special category of service provider which we use to help provide you with emergency or other assistance in connection with certain policies (e.g. certain travel policies).
Insurance Agencies: insurance agencies introduce insurance products, arrange the insurance policies conclusion and assist Chubb in collecting claim requests.
Insurance Brokers: insurance brokers arrange and negotiate insurance coverage of individuals or companies and deal directly with insurers, such as Chubb.
MOF: is the Ministry of Finance, which is an insurance regulatory body. Chubb may disclose personal data to the MOF to support its supervision over, and promotion of, insurance businesses, in accordance with the insurance commission law, the non-life insurance law.
MPS: is the Ministry of Public Security which governs state management over personal data protection.
Department of Cybersecurity and High-tech Crime Prevention: the Department under MPS which regulates the processing of personal data by all organizations and individuals within Vietnam.
Prospective Insured and Life Assured: we use this term to refer to prospective, active or former individual policyholders, as well as any individual who benefits from insurance coverage under one of our policies (for example, where an employee benefits from coverage taken out by their employer).
Loss Adjuster: these are an independent claims specialist which investigates complex or contentious claims on our behalf.
Other Insurers / Reinsurers: some policies are insured on a joint “syndicate” basis. This means that a group of insurers (including us) will join together to write a policy. Policies may also be reinsured, which means that the insurer will purchase its own insurance, from a reinsurer, to cover some of the risk the insurer has underwritten in your policy. Chubb purchases reinsurance, and also acts as a reinsurer to other insurance firms.
Service Providers: these are a range of third parties to whom we outsource certain functions of our business. For example, we have service providers who help us manage our IT and back office systems. Some of these providers use “cloud based” IT applications or systems, which means that your personal data will be hosted on their servers, but under our control and direction. We require all our service providers to respect the confidentiality and security of personal data. We also use other services from service providers, such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, document and records management, order fulfilment, credit reference, delivery services, and similar third-party vendors and outsourced service providers that assist us in carrying out business activities.
Lawyers: we frequently use lawyers to advise on complex or contentious claims or to provide us with non-claims related legal advice.
Third Party Administrators (or TPAs): these are companies outside the Chubb group which administer the underwriting of policies, or the handling of claims, or both, on our behalf. We require all TPAs to ensure that your personal data is handled lawfully, and in accordance with this Policy and our instructions.
7. Direct Marketing
We may use your personal data to send you direct marketing communications about our insurance products or our related services. This may be in the form of email, post, SMS, telephone or targeted online advertisements.
In most cases our processing of your personal data for marketing purposes is based on our legitimate interests to provide information you might find helpful to manage your insured risks, insurance renewals and other products, services and offers that may be of interest to you, although in some cases (such as where required by law) it may be based on your consent. You have a right to prevent direct marketing of any form at any time – this can be exercised by following the opt-out links in electronic communications or by contacting us using the details set out in Section 14.
We take steps to limit direct marketing to a reasonable and proportionate level and to send you communications which we believe may be of interest or relevance to you, based on the information we have about you and within the scope consent you have provided.
8. Cross-border transfers
From time to time, we may need to share your personal data with member companies of the Chubb group who may be based outside Vietnam. We may also allow our Reinsurers, Third Parties or Service Providers, who may be located outside Vietnam, access to your personal data. We may also make other disclosures of your personal data overseas, for example, if we receive a legal or regulatory request from a foreign law enforcement body.
We will always take steps to ensure that any cross-border transfer of information is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests:
· We will only transfer your personal data to countries which are recognized 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,

In some circumstances, we may retain your personal data for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required or permitted to do so in accordance with legal, regulator, tax or accounting requirements.
For example, if you are the holder of an insurance policy, your personal data will typically be retained for 10 years after the cancellation or termination of the policy, unless an exception applies.
In specific circumstances, we may also retain your personal data for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal data or dealings.
Where your personal data is no longer required, we will ensure it is either securely deleted or stored in a way which means it will no longer be used by the business.
