In this situation, no specific authorization is needed.

For transfers to non-EEA countries whose level of protection has not been recognised by the European Commission, we will either rely on a derogation applicable to the specific situation (e.g. if the transfer is necessary to perform our contract with you such as when making an international payment) or implement one of the following safeguards to ensure the protection of your personal data:

If we have collected data concerning your health, it is kept at most five years from its collection (two years in the current archive and three years in the intermediary archive) in the event no contract has been concluded (so that evidence may be provided in case of dispute regarding our decision not to enter into an insurance contract).

If you are a client :

The retention period is the term of your (or your company’s) insurance contract, plus the period of time until the legal claims under that contract become time-barred, unless overriding legal or regulatory provisions require a longer or shorter retention period. When this period expires, your personal data is removed from our systems.
