- Personal information you share with us either directly or through your agent, such as the information on your insurance application, requested policy change information or other forms you may complete.
- Personal information you provide or which is obtained through the process of handling a claim, including medical information, such as from an accident report.
- Personal information about you from your transactions with us, our affiliates or others such as the number of years you have been a policyholder with Allianz Global Risks US or the types of coverage you purchase.
- Personal information about you from a consumer reporting agency, such as a credit report or a Motor Vehicle Report.

we may use "cookies" (small text files transferred from our website

you to use our Web site more easily.
Personal Information Allianz Global Risks US Discloses
Allianz Global Risks US does not disclose any personal information about current or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law.
