A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
With your consent, we use cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) to analyze the way you navigate through our Site and to enhance your experience. We have implemented a Cookie Preference Center on our site, which gives you the ability to consent (or not) to the setting of the different types of cookies our Site uses and gives you control to accept or reject various types of non-essential cookies. You can return to the Cookie Preference Center at any time by clicking on the Cookies Settings button to change your preferences.
You can also accept, reject or delete cookies on your computer by modifying the settings in your browser. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities of our Site may not work.

Social media functions and social plug-ins are embedded in our Site in the form of small icons. We currently embed Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks as icons on our Site.
We exclusively embed deactivated icons, which do not contact the servers of these external networks when our Site is accessed. The buttons become active and create a connection only if you deliberately click an icon, thus indicating your consent to communicating with such providers. By clicking on these icons you leave our Site and we do not record which external network you activate.
When you interact with these social plug-ins – for example, by entering a comment – a corresponding notification is sent to the social network and saved in accordance with the respective network’s policy. Please consult the respective social network’s data protection statement with regard to the scope and purpose of the data collected, its use and processing, as well as your respective rights and options in protecting your privacy.
PartnerRe Ltd is headquartered in Bermuda and while PartnerRe has active reinsurance businesses in many countries around the globe, if you decide to use the Site, your personal data may be processed, stored and/or transferred outside your home country in jurisdictions (e.g. Bermuda or the United States of America) in which the data protection and privacy laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen. If you prefer not to have your personal data transferred to such countries, do not use the Site.
When we transfer your personal data to other countries outside the EEA, we establish legal grounds for such a transfer, mainly in the form of standard contractual clauses or other legal grounds permitted by applicable legal requirements.
To regulate intra group personal data transfers, PartnerRe has executed a master data transfer agreement. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact us at the details contained in the “CONTACT US” section below.
We will keep your personal data only for so long as is necessary and for the purpose for which it was originally collected and any other permissible, related purpose. Beyond that, we retain personal data for a period of time that reasonably allows us to investigate, commence or defend legal claims brought by or against us or our clients, comply with our regulatory obligations and conduct analysis.
We securely destroy personal data when its retention period has expired. We retain aggregated or anonymized data (which is not treated as personal data under this privacy notice) for longer.
We implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the personal data we process. These measures are aimed at ensuring the on-going integrity and confidentiality of personal data. We evaluate these measures on a regular basis to ensure the security of the processing.
