We understand that web users are concerned about the privacy of information.

Our information privacy standards are designed to help us serve our users while maintaining our own strict security standards, and are intended to comply with the applicable privacy and data protection laws where we do business.

We will collect personal information from visitors, including their addresses, from forms that the visitors voluntarily submit and based on their usage of this site. This information is collected in order to enable Gen Re to better identify and serve its users and to respond better to their needs. We also collect risk submission details in order to respond to registered users and potential users. We also collect and store certain information in order to answer your emails, respond to your submissions, bind your coverage and to measure your interest in the various sections of this site and our Extranets. On the Extranets, we also collect loss reporting information and may also collect accounting data and rate making data. We will not intentionally disclose the details about web visitors or any of their business information to anybody outside Gen Re and its subsidiaries and affiliates without the visitor's express permission, unless disclosure is required by law, or is in compliance with legal process, or is necessary to protect our rights or our business reputation, or to act in an emergency situation to protect personal safety or to prevent harm to persons or property. If a website visitor creates a personal profile, we will undertake to store the visitor's submissions in order to provide the visitor the ability to retrieve the submissions, but we do not assure that this data will be available. We also reserve the right to change, withdraw or terminate the functionality that enables access to past and pending submissions.
