The protection and security of your personal data are important to us. Therefore, any personal data collected by us will be with your knowledge and/or consent. Here we wish to outline what information we record and for what purposes this information is used.
What information do we record and for what purposes?
When you access this website, certain information (e.g. IP address, date, time) is automatically kept on our server for a period of four weeks for data security purposes only (e.g. in order to identify and trace any persons gaining or attempting to gain unauthorised access to the web server).
Munich Re will treat with strictest confidence any personal details sent when you access the Munich Health website in accordance with the ruling provisions governing data protection at the Company's head office. If you send us an e-mail or complete and submit the online forms on the Munich Health website, your personal data (e.g. name or e-mail address) will be used only for the correspondence of Munich Health with you in order to send you the requested documents or information or for any other purpose stipulated on the individual form and will not be passed on to third parties.
When users visit our website, anonymised usage data (date, time of day, pages viewed, navigation, software used, etc.) is recorded on our behalf by an external service provider for the purpose of analysing usage behaviour. The data is anonymised prior to being stored by the service provider. We use cookies to retrace usage behaviour in anonymised form. This anonymised usage data is recorded, processed and used only in order to gear our website to the users’ needs. We also use cookies for technical reasons, but not to collect any personal information about you.
When using our internet services, you can decide whether you wish to accept or decline these cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. If session cookies are disabled on your browser, however, you may not be able to use certain features or sections of our website (e.g. online application process, contact forms, shareholder portal) requiring a safe connection. If you access sections of our website which are reserved for users with special authorisation rights (e.g. shareholder portal) and where, for technical reasons or on legal grounds, additional personal data are kept, we expressly point this out there.
Protective measures
We take suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, or destruction or against access by unauthorised persons.
We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for the dialog forms provided on the Munich Health web pages. SSL protects the data you send us against unauthorised third-party access. For your own security, therefore, please always use these dialog forms. If you send us unencrypted data in a standard e-mail, it is possible that unauthorised persons may gain access to or alter the data when it is transferred via the internet.
