DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO OTHERS

We do not disclose any personal information about you to any third parties except as stated in this privacy policy, as otherwise permitted by law, or authorized by you.

Third parties to whom we disclose information are required by law and contractual undertakings to keep your personal information confidential and secure, and to use and disclose it for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, in compliance with all applicable legislation, which purposes are as follows:

  • To assess eligibility for coverage, process and maintain insurance coverage, renewal of coverage or related products and services – we disclose to the insurance companies, reinsurers, intermediaries or other brokers that make available the coverage;
  • To associations for those Clients/Participants obtaining insurance coverage by being a member of the association;
  • To notify you or allow our affiliated companies to notify you of certain products or services offered by our affiliated companies;
  • For legal, claims settlement and valuation services;
  • To update information with credit bureaus and insurance reporting agencies;
  • To process transactions through data processing service providers;
  • If the information is a credit card number, to process credit card payments – through third party payment processing, clearing and settlement systems in association with various banks; and
  • To other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements.

If these third parties wish to use your personal information for any other purpose, they will have a legal obligation to notify you of this and, where required, to obtain your consent.

Affiliate Sharing

In the normal course of performing services for our clients, personal information may be shared within Marsh and its affiliates for research and statistical purposes, system administration and crime prevention or detection. This may require personal information to be accessed or moved to a country different from the one where the personal information was collected. When you supply us with information containing third party personal information (names, addresses, or other information relating to living individuals), we will hold and use that personal information to perform general insurance and other services for you on the understanding that the individuals to whom the personal information relates have been informed of the reason(s) for obtaining the personal information, the fact that it may be disclosed to third parties such as Marsh, and have consented to such disclosure and use.

Service Providers

Because a number of the service providers we use are located in the United States, including certain Marsh affiliates, your personal information may be processed and stored inside the United States, and the U.S. government, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your personal information under US laws.

The transfer of personal information is governed by European Union (EU) standard contractual clauses, the EU-US Privacy Shield or equivalent data transfer agreements to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information.

Business Transactions

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, user information, including personal information, generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if either Marsh itself or substantially all of Marsh assets were acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets. Therefore, we may disclose and/or transfer your personal information to a third party purchaser in these circumstances.

Other Legally Required Disclosures

Marsh preserves the right to disclose without your prior permission any personal information about you or your use of this site if Marsh has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Marsh, employees, other users of this site, or the public; (b) enforce the terms and conditions that apply to use of this site; (c) as required by a legally valid request from a competent governmental authority; or (d) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties. We may also disclose personal information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request

In this privacy policy, the purposes identified above and in “Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information” will be referred to as the “Identified Purposes.”

CONSENT

Your knowledge of and consent to Marsh’s collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is critical. We rely on the following actions by you as indications of your consent to our existing and future personal information practices:

  • Your voluntary provision of personal information to us directly or through another insurance broker or representative or your employer for the purpose of acquiring an insurance contract or related service or product (including information previously provided to Marsh);
  • Your express consent or acknowledgement contained within a written, verbal or electronic application or claims process; and
  • Your verbal consent solicited by Marsh (or our agent) for a specified purpose.

Where Marsh relies on consent for the fair and lawful processing of personal information, the opportunity to consent will be provided when the personal information in question is collected. Your consent may be given through your authorized representative such as a legal guardian, agent or holder of a power of attorney.

Subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, you may withdraw this consent at any time. Marsh will inform you of the consequences of withdrawing your consent. In some cases, refusing to provide certain personal information or withdrawing consent for Marsh to collect, use or disclose your personal information could mean that we cannot obtain insurance coverage or other requested products, services or information for you.

If you wish to withdraw your consent please refer to the Questions or to Withdraw Consent section below.

However, there are a number of instances where Marsh does not require your consent to engage in the processing or disclosure of personal information. Marsh may not solicit your consent for the processing or transfer of Personal information for those purposes which have a statutory basis, such as:

  • The transfer or processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Marsh (or one of its affiliates);
  • The transfer or processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, concluded in your interest, between Marsh (or one of its affiliates) and a third party;
  • The transfer or processing is necessary, or legally required, on important public interest grounds, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect your vital interests; or
  • The transfer or processing is required by applicable law.

LIMITING COLLECTION AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Marsh will collect, use, or disclose personal information that is necessary for the Identified Purposes or as permitted by law. If we require personal information for any other purpose, you will be notified of the new purpose, and subject to your consent (where appropriate), that new purpose will become an Identified Purpose.

Marsh will collect personal information by fair and lawful means. We will normally retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the Identified Purposes. However, some personal information may be retained for longer periods as required by law, contract, or auditing requirements.

SAFEGUARDS

We have in place physical, electronic and procedural safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we maintain regarding Clients and Participants. Safeguards will vary depending on the sensitivity, format, location, amount, distribution and storage of the personal information. They include physical, technical, and managerial measures to keep personal information protected from unauthorized access. Among such safeguards are the encryption of communications via SSL, encryption of information while it is in storage, firewalls, access controls, separation of duties, and similar security protocols. However, due to the nature of the Internet and related technology, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of personal information, and Marsh expressly disclaims any such obligation.

EXTERNAL LINKS

Marsh sites may include links to other websites whose privacy policies we do not control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your web browser), use of any personal information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the website you are visiting.
