RTP only processes your data as instructed by your insurance provider. The processing of your personal data is governed by a contractual agreement between RTP and your insurance provider, and the primary purpose is to assess risks and provide an underwriting decision. We may perform other services at their request, such as evaluating your data to improve our services to them. ˿����ƵAPP does not process your data in any way not allowed under the agreement.

The way we analyze personal information for the purposes of risk assessment, fraud prevention, and detection, and to report to our clients as part of providing the services may involve profiling, which means that we may process your personal information using software that is able to evaluate certain personal aspects about you and predict risks or outcomes. For example, we may analyze personal information about your lifestyle to predict the likelihood of a claim being made on your insurance policy.

We do not make any decisions about your ability to obtain the insurance policy or the cost of it. However, the outcome of your personal information analysis, including your risk rating, is shared with your insurance provider and may impact the decisions made about your application. If you have questions about automated decision-making by the insurance provider, you should contact your insurance provider.

Whenever we process your personal information, we must have a legal basis. We rely on your consent provided directly to your insurance provider when you apply for a policy, as RTP is a Processor performing a service for them. 

RTP’s sharing of your data only occurs as allowed under the agreement between RTP and your insurance company.  We share your personal information with the following parties:

• Insurance providers. As a Processor, we share your personal information with your insurance providers. 
• Service providers. We may share your personal information with service providers that perform certain services and business operations for us, for example, IT system providers.
• Internal business partners. By instruction of the Controller, we may share your personal information with internal business partners, such as local ˿����ƵAPP underwriters, to improve the services we provide to the Controller.
• Any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority, or professional body. We may share your personal information with these parties where we believe this is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party.

If you require further information on whom your personal information is shared with, please contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact us" section below.

You have certain rights regarding your personal information, subject to local laws and circumstances relating to the processing of your personal data.

Your rights may include the right to:

• access your personal information and details relating to the processing of your personal information;
• rectify the information we hold about you;
• erase your personal information;
• restrict our use of your personal information;
• object to our use of your personal information;
• receive your personal information in a usable electronic format and transmit it to a third party (right to data portability); and
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Since we receive your personal information directly from your insurance provider, you should contact your insurance provider first if you would like to exercise your rights. We encourage you to inform your insurance provider if your personal information needs to be corrected or updated (and you may be under a legal duty to do so).

If your insurance provider has not resolved your request or concern, or if you would like to contact us directly to discuss or exercise your rights, you may contact us via our online contact form, or using the contact details provided in section ‘Contact us’ below.

We are committed to working with you to obtain a fair resolution of any request, complaint, or concern about privacy. If, however, you believe that we have not been able to assist with your request, complaint or concern, you have the right to make a complaint to your local supervisory authority (i.e. the supervisory in the jurisdiction where you live or work) or the supervisory authority of the jurisdiction where you believe an infringement of data protection laws has occurred. Contact details of supervisory authorities are available at the following link: /privacy-notice/english/supervisory-authorities-contacts 

We implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the personal information we process. These measures are aimed at ensuring the on-going availability, integrity, and confidentiality of personal information. We evaluate these measures on a regular basis to ensure the security of the processing. 

We keep your personal data for as long as required to provide our services to your insurance provider as stated in the agreement with your insurance provider.  

If you would like to know more about the retention of your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact us" section below.

We securely destroy personal information when its retention period has expired. However, we may decide to aggregate or anonymize data (which is not treated as personal information under this privacy notice) and retain it for longer if allowable under the agreement with your insurance provider.

Because we operate as a global business, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by ˿����ƵAPP entities in other countries, which may include countries that are not regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information under the European Union or your local law. Therefore, ˿����ƵAPP has adopted Binding Corporate Rules (‘BCRs’) to enable us to make international transfers of your personal information within our group of companies in compliance with data protection laws of the European Union and other relevant countries. Summaries of our BCRs are available at /about-rga/binding-corporate-rules/

If we need to transfer your personal information to service providers or other parties located outside the EEA or other relevant countries, we will make sure that adequate safeguards are in place with those parties. We typically put in place contractual commitments in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact us" section below.
