AMA Group is committed to safeguarding our customers' personal data by adherence to the following obligations:
This statement applies to the services, products and employees of the AMA Group. AMA Group also expects our service providers to have introduced data protection principles and technical and organizational measures that are substantially similar to the ones AMA Group has adopted in respect of similar personal data. This statement refers to personal data from our individual customers or the employees of our customers and their families or the individual customers of our customers, such as a beneficiary under an insurance policy or a beneficiary under credit card or other financial services and in this statement, we refer to this group of individuals as: "you". This Privacy Policy describes how AMA Group collects, uses, shares and secures the personal information you provide. It also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information.
AMA Group collects personal data about you when you purchase, use or benefit from AMA Group’s services or products. We may also receive information about you from other sources when this data is given to AMA Group by third parties, such as companies employing you or your relatives, insurance companies, private medical insurers, assistance companies, financial institutions, medical service providers, travel agencies and similar companies that are permitted to share this personal data.
"Personal data" includes information that will allow someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your full name, address, telephone number (professional & home) or email address, gender, date of birth, nationality, family status (dependent), industry sector information related to professional activity, status (expatriate or traveller) and destinations.
Personal data does not include aggregated data or data that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons, such as statistics on the number of expatriates and travellers that are eligible in a member company to receive assistance services or the number of people visiting the AMA Group website each month.
You provide certain personal data to AMA Group when, for example, you: (a) call our assistance centres or clinics; visit our clinics; visit our facilities at remote sites providing services under a medical services contract; seek a consultation with our medical professionals; and travel with our medical escorts (b) contact us as part of a health assessment; (c) contact us to receive medical consultancy and patient support services; (d) contact us to receive security consultancy and security services; (e) order services and products from AMA Group websites.
