It may happen that personal data is stored for the time during which claims can be asserted against ARTE Generali GmbH (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years). Furthermore, we store your personal data to the extent required by law; the storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. The storage of the log file information listed in section 3.4 is for a maximum of thirty days.

5. Disclosure of Your Personal Data to Third Parties

To fulfill our contractual obligations with you, we are entitled to share your data to our service providers.

Furthermore, we may share your personal data to third parties, if promotional activities, contests, contract conclusions, or similar services are offered by us jointly with partners. You can obtain further information on this by providing your personal data or in the description of the respective offer.

We do not share your personal data to third parties, unless you have consented to the transfer of data, or we are authorized or obligated to do so by law and/or official or court orders. This may include, in particular, providing information for law enforcement purposes, for averting danger or for enforcing intellectual property rights.

Our service providers and partners are located within the EU or the EEA, or in countries that have been classified by the European Commission as having an adequate level of data protection, or that ensure the appropriate level of data protection at the service provider in another way (e.g., by using the standard contractual clauses of the European Union).

We only provide our service providers and partners with the personal data they need for the specific activity. The commissioned service providers and partners act within the framework of contractual obligations, that ensure compliance with all applicable data protection regulations, including the necessary technical security measures.

 

6. Data Security

ARTE Generali GmbH is part of the Generali Deutschland Group. The group makes significant technical and organizational efforts to protect your personal data from loss, falsification, or unauthorized access. In the event that you would like to contact us by email, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the transmitted information cannot be guaranteed, as the contents of unencrypted emails may generally be subject to eavesdropping by unauthorized third parties during transmission. Most email providers already use automatic transport encryption procedures to ensure the confidentiality of the email traffic. Please check with your email provider to see if it also uses TLS encryption. Otherwise, you should consider switching to an email provider with TLS support to ensure adequate encryption.

In addition to the transport encryption procedure TLS, we also offer you end-to-end encryption via the PGP procedure to ensure the confidentiality of your sensitive data. With PGP, your emails are encrypted in such a way that only the intended recipient can read them. Further information on data security can be found in the "Data Security" section on the page https://www.generali.de/datenschutz
