AIG Asia Pacific Insurance Pte. Ltd. (“AIG Singapore”) together with other affiliates and subsidiary companies of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) (collectively called “AIG Affiliates”) are committed to protecting the privacy of the individuals we encounter in conducting our business. “Personal Data” is data that identifies and relates to you or other individuals (such as your dependents). This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding why and how AIG Singapore collects and uses your Personal Data, to whom such data is disclosed and to whom data access requests can be addressed.
If you have any questions about our use of your Personal Data, you can contact us at:

The principal ways we collect Personal Data are through our application forms for our insurance products, by phone through telephone applications, information provided by you through our claim forms, AIG Electronic Services, e-mails, phone conversations and other communications, as well as from other insurers, claims investigation, medical professionals, witnesses and other third parties involved in our business dealings with you.
We collect Personal Data through:
Depending on your relationship with us (for example, as a consumer, potential customer, policyholder, non-policyholder insured, claimant, witness, commercial broker or appointed representative, or other person relating to our business), Personal Data collected about you and your dependents may include:
Our overriding principle is only to collect any of the above Personal Data which we believe to be relevant and required to understand your insurance needs and provide insurance services to you, to conduct our business and to provide better customer service and products. In this respect, the particular purposes for which Personal Data may be collected and used by AIG Singapore and AIG Affiliates are as follows:
Due to the global nature of our business, for the purposes set out above we may transfer Personal Data to parties located in other countries that may have a different data protection regime than is found in Singapore. Personal Data collected in Singapore by AIG Singapore is likely to be transferred to places outside of Singapore (such as to AIG or AIG secure data centres, AIG Affiliates, service providers, business partners and governmental or regulatory authorities) in order to carry out the purposes, or directly related purposes, for which the Personal Data was collected. Where such a transfer is performed, it will be done in compliance with the applicable law.
AIG Singapore may make Personal Data available to:
Personal Data may also be shared by you, on message boards, chat, profile pages and blogs, and other AIG Electronic Services to which you are able to post data and materials (including, without limitation, our Social Media Content). Please note that any data you post or disclose through these services will become public information, and may be available to visitors and users of the AIG Electronic Services and to the general public. We urge you to be very careful when deciding to disclose your Personal Data, or any other information, when using AIG Electronic Services.
AIG Singapore will take appropriate technical, physical, legal and organizational measures, which are consistent with applicable privacy and data security laws. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any Personal Data you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us. (See the “Who to Contact About Your Personal Data” section above.)
When AIG Singapore provides Personal Data to a service provider, the service provider will be selected carefully and required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the Personal Data.
AIG Singapore takes reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data we process is reliable for its intended use, and as accurate and complete as is necessary to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. AIG Singapore will destroy any Personal Data it may hold in accordance with its internal policies and procedures and the following principles:
(a) Personal Data will only be retained for as long as is necessary to fulfill the original or directly related purpose for which such data was collected, unless the Personal Data is also retained to satisfy any legal obligations or other legitimate purpose; and
(b) Personal Data is purged from AIG Singapore’s electronic, manual, and other filing systems, where feasible, in accordance with specific schedules based on the above criteria and AIG Singapore’s internal procedures.
If you provide Personal Data to AIG Singapore regarding other individuals, you agree:
(a) to inform the individual about the content of this Privacy Policy; and
(b) to obtain any legally-required consent for the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer (including cross-border transfer) of Personal Data about the individual in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still send you other important administrative communications.
You have the right to access, correct, object to the use of, or request deletion of Personal Data on certain grounds. Please contact us as set out in the “Who to Contact About Your Personal Data” section above with any such requests or if you have any questions or concerns about how we process Personal Data.
