For what purpose does the Insurance Company process your personal data and what authorizes it to do so?
The personal data of insurance applicants are processed by the Insurance Company for the purpose of negotiating the conclusion of an insurance contract. In case you have concluded an insurance contract with the Insurance Company, the Insurance Company, as a personal data controller, may process your personal data for the purpose of proper provision of services resulting from the insurance. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of the insurance contract.
The Insurance Company is also entitled to process your personal data if you are not
you are a party to the insurance contract, but you are the insured or you may have rights under the contract (e.g. you are a beneficiary, defendant, victim), or the processing of your personal data is otherwise necessary for the proper performance of insurance business. The legal basis for such processing is the legitimate interest of the Insurance Company. The legitimate interest consists in the fact that, although you are not a party to the insurance contract, the Insurance Company must process your personal data in the interest of the proper performance of its insurance business.
The Insurance Company, as a personal data controller, may also process your personal data for the purpose of the proper performance of the Insurance Company's obligations arising from legal regulations (e.g. the Law on Archiving, the Law against the Legalization of Proceeds of Crime, accounting and tax regulations).

The Insurance Company may also request data about your health and the determination of your health status, including the cause of death, if there are reasons for this related to the investigation of the claim. The legal basis for processing your health data is that it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The Insurance Company is entitled to process your personal data as a prospective insured person from the time of negotiation of the insurance contract and, in the case of conclusion of the contract, for the entire duration of the insurance and for the following ten years from its termination, and if there are outstanding claims (even if disputed) between you and the Insurance Company arising in connection with the insurance even after this period, then until their settlement.
In the case of insurance contracts that have not been concluded, the Insurance Company processes personal data until the end of the second calendar year from the last communication with the client, unless the insurance has been concluded by that time or you do not exercise any of your rights before the conclusion of the contract.
The processing of personal data of persons who are not a party to the insurance contract and who have rights and obligations under the insurance contract is necessary in order to properly perform their obligations under the insurance contract. This includes, in particular, the insured persons, both in the context of individual and group insurance, as well as the defendants, beneficiaries, victims and other persons whose personal data is necessary for the performance of insurance activities. For this purpose, the insurance company is entitled to process such personal data for the period of time provided for by the relevant law (e.g. Civil Code, Insurance Distribution Act, etc.) and if, even after the expiry of this period, unsettled claims (albeit disputed) between the insured and the insurance company arising in connection with the insurance remain, then until they are settled.
CCTV data and call records are stored in accordance with the principle of minimisation and processed only for the time necessary to fulfil the intended purposes of the processing. We base the determination of the processing period on the applicable legal regulations.
The personal data of job applicants are kept for the duration of the selection procedure and, in the case of your consent to further processing, for a maximum of five years after the end of the selection procedure.
