Data protection is important to us. We have an ongoing commitment to protecting the data with which we’re entrusted.
We have been reviewing all of our outbound data-feeds, in light of the Schrems II decision regarding International Data Transfers. This helped us to understand our Direct International Data Transfers, and where that personal data is sent further by firms creating onward data transfers.
Our conclusion is that data transfer risk to non-EEA countries is low in our Broker Network.
However, if you’re outside the EEA when you access the personal data that Ageas sends or shares with you, then – to comply with UK GDPR – our contract must be updated as soon as possible, to include the new Standard Contractual Clauses or International Data Transfer Agreement.
If this is the case, please contact us immediately.
If there are any ‘onward transfers’ within our relationship (if you transfer Ageas data beyond the EEA to a third party, such as an IT supplier), then you must complete appropriate Transfer Risk Assessments and do the diligence necessary to ensure those transfers comply with UK GDPR.
