How do we handle electronic messages sent to and from Allianz Global Investors? 


All electronic messages sent to and from Allianz Global Investors are protected by appropriate technical and organisational measures within our systems, and may only be accessed by individuals not directly involved in the communication in specific, justified cases according to the applicable laws and regulations (e.g. a court ruling, suspected criminal behaviour, breach of supervisory obligations); they are only accessed by certain individuals in defined functions (e.g. legal, compliance, risk). Each part of the procedure and the search criteria used are logged.


What should you bear in mind when sending data over the internet?


The internet is generally not considered to be a secure environment, and information sent via the internet (such as to or from the Website, or as an electronic message) may be intercepted by unauthorised third parties, which may lead to divulging information, changes to content or technical failure. Even if both the sender and the recipient are located in the same country, data sent via the internet may be transmitted across international borders and forwarded to a country where the level of privacy is lower than in your country of residence. 


Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the security of your data while it is being transmitted via the internet to Allianz Global Investors. To protect your privacy, we remind you that you can use other means of communication with Allianz Global Investors where appropriate.

Use of social network plug-ins: 


Our Website uses the following social media plug-ins (“plug-ins” below): 
• LinkedIn share button, operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA 
• YouTube, operated by YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

All plug-ins are labelled with the brand of the respective operator (the “operators”): LinkedIn and YouTube. 


When you visit the web page that contains a social network plug-in, your browser creates a direct connection to the operator’s servers. The operator submits the content of the plug-in directly to your browser, which embeds it in the web page, thereby enabling the operator to obtain the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our Website. Allianz Global Investors therefore has no control over the data collected by the plug-in and we inform you to the best of our knowledge that: The embedded plug-ins inform the operator that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our Website. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to the operators, you must log out of your respective account with them before visiting our Website. 


For more information on the purpose and scope of collection, processing and use of data, please refer to the data protection policies of these operators:
