Use of Personal Data

Processing of special personal data
Due to the nature of the service, we sometimes need special information from you. This relates, for instance, to information about your health for a health insurance application. If we still need additional information from a physician, we will always ask your prior consent. In such a case, we must indicate to you why we need this information and which data is involved.
Another example relates to criminal data. For some agreements, it may be asked whether a client has any criminal record. We will only enquire into criminal data for the eight years preceding an insurance application.
