    Transparency regarding how data is processed is a key element of data protection. Our responsibility to ensure that your data is protected in line with the valid data protection regulations is one we take very seriously. This information on data protection is designed to provide you with information on how your personal data is processed by the Munich Re Group and on your rights under data protection law.

    1. Scope of application

    This information on data protection is aimed at visitors to the business premises of Munich Reinsurance Company, Joint-Stock Company in Munich.

    3. What data categories do we use, and for what purposes, and what is the legal basis for processing your data?

    Your contact details (name and, where applicable, company and country of origin) are recorded in order to process your visit and to protect our right to determine who shall be allowed or denied access to premises and our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1f) GDPR, Section 4 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)). Our legitimate interest lies in compliance with, and documentation of, necessary security standards.

    We do not pass your data on to third parties as a matter of principle.

    No automated decision-making is used.

    4. Where does your data come from?

    Your personal data is either collected directly from you at reception or recorded in our administration system in advance by your contact.

    5. Will your data be transferred to a third country?

    As a general principle, we process your personal data in Germany or in countries that are European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) member states. If we need to transfer personal data to service providers or subcontractors outside the EEA, we will do so only if the European Commission has confirmed that the country’s level of data protection is sufficient, or if data protection is otherwise sufficiently guaranteed (for example, through Binding Corporate Rules, or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses). You can write to the above-mentioned address to obtain detailed information and to learn more about the level of data protection at our service providers in non-EEA countries.

    6. How long will your data be stored for?

    We will delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the above mentioned purposes, but, at the latest, after three months.

    7. Are you obliged to provide your data?

    You are obliged to provide us with your data in order to register. We cannot grant you access to Munich Re’s business premises unless you provide us with your contact details.

    8. What measures do we take to protect your data?

    We take state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to protect data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, and access by unauthorised parties.

    9. What data protection rights can you assert as a data subject?

    You can request information about the personal data we have stored under your name, from the address above. In addition, under certain circumstances, you may request that your data be rectified or erased. Furthermore, you may have a right to restrict the processing of your data and a right to disclosure of the data you have made available in a structured, common and machine-readable format. If you have given your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time with effect for the future; if you were not informed of any other way to do so when you gave your consent, you can send your revocation to the above address.

    If we process your data for the purposes of safeguarding legitimate interests, you may object to this processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    Please contact us at the address above to exercise these rights. 

    10. Who can you contact if you wish to make a complaint?

    If you believe that we have breached applicable data protection law when processing your personal data, you can contact the aforementioned Data Protection Officer or the data protection authorities to make a complaint. The public authority responsible for Munich Re is:

    Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (Data Protection Authority of Bavaria for the Private Sector)
    Promenade 18
    91522 Ansbach
    Germany
