Privacy Policy
AIG Insurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited “AIG Thailand”, “we/us/our”) together with other affiliates and subsidiary companies of American International Group, Inc. (collectively called “AIG”) value your trust in us and are committed to handling Personal Information (defined below) appropriately in accordance with applicable laws.
This is our main Privacy Policy which describes how we use Personal Information that we collect as part of our core business activities.
References to "you" or "your" means any individual with whom we have a relationship, including policyholders, insureds or claimants under an insurance policy, commercial insurance brokers, appointed representatives, agents, witnesses or another individual with whom we have a relationship or users of AIG Digital Services.
This Privacy Policy will be supplemented by additional privacy policies tailored to our specific relationships with you where this is useful to provide you with a full picture of how we collect and use your Personal Information.
The purpose of this Policy is to explain what Personal Information we collect, access, use, store, transfer and/or disclose (together, “process”), the reasons we process your Personal Information, to whom Personal Information is disclosed and your rights under the relevant laws.
We use the words Personal Information to describe information about you and other individuals (for example, your partner or other members of your family), and from which you or they are identifiable.
Our aim is responsible and secure handling of Personal Information, balancing the benefits of activities like research and data analytics to improve our products and service delivery, with our other commitments, including fairness, transparency and non-discrimination.
Personal Information is obtained from a variety of sources, including:
- application, proposal and claim forms, and other forms;
- telephone calls, emails, meetings and other communications;
- service providers, brokers and agents, claims investigators, witnesses, medical professionals, driver and vehicle licensing authorities, credit reference agencies, your employer, and other third parties;
- this website (the “Site”);
- the software applications made available by us on computers, smart phones and other mobile devices (the “Apps”); and
- our social media pages, other social media content, tools and applications (our “Social Media Content”).
In this Privacy Policy, we refer to the Site, the Apps and Social Media Content together as AIG Digital Services.
Unless otherwise indicated, the AIG Digital Services are only for use by legally competent adults. Minors and those without legal competency should not provide Personal Information through the AIG Digital Services themselves but rather via appropriately authorised agents, guardians or legal advisors.
Personal Information may be provided to us by you directly or by a third party. For example, an insurance policyholder may provide Personal Information about you so that you can benefit under their insurance policy.
Please note:
By providing us with Personal Information about another individual, you represent that you have (unless we agreed otherwise, in writing): (a) informed the individual about the content of this Privacy Policy and any other applicable privacy notices provided to you; and (b) obtained their permission (where required by, and in such manner as required by, applicable laws) to share their Personal Information with us in accordance with this Privacy Policy and other applicable privacy notices.
The Personal Information we collect and hold about you and other individuals will differ depending on our relationship, including the type of communications between us and the products and services we provide. Different types of Personal Information will be held if you are a consumer insurance policyholder or claimant, or you have enquired about our services, compared to where you benefit from insurance coverage under an insurance policy taken out by another policyholder (for example, you are insured under a corporate policy taken out by your employer).
Likewise, we will hold different Personal Information if you are a commercial insurance broker or appointed representative, a witness, or another individual with whom we have a relationship.

Data protection law seeks to ensure that the way Personal Information is processed is fair. To comply with the law, we need to tell you the legal justification we rely on for using your Personal Information. While the law provides several legal justifications, this Policy describes the main legal justifications that may apply to our purposes for using Personal Information.
We may be required to obtain Personal Information from you to comply with applicable legal requirements, and certain Personal Information may be needed to enable us to fulfil the terms of our contract with you (or someone else), or in preparation of entering into a contract with you (or someone else), or for pursuing a right and/or legitimate interest of ours or of third parties. We may inform you of this at the time that we are obtaining the Personal Information from you. In these circumstances, if you do not provide the relevant Personal Information to us, we may not be able to provide our products or services to you. If you would like further information, please contact us using the details below (see section below ‘Who to contact about your Personal Information?’).
Where we rely on our legitimate business interests or the legitimate interests of a third party to justify the purposes for using your Personal Information, those legitimate interests will be set out in a supplemental privacy notice (which is tailored to our relationship with you where this is useful to provide you with a full picture of how we collect and use Personal Information), but in any event our legitimate interests will usually be:
- pursuit of our commercial activities and objectives, or those of a third party (for example, by carrying out direct marketing);

- analysing competition in the market for our services (for example, by carrying out research, including market research).
We may need to collect, use, and disclose Personal Information in connection with matters of important public interest, for instance when complying with our obligations under both local and foreign anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws and regulations, and other laws and regulations aimed at preventing financial crime. In these cases, the legal justification for our use of Personal Information is that the use is necessary for matters of public interest, legitimate interest, or legal obligation. Additional justifications may also apply depending on the circumstances.
Sensitive/Special Categories of Personal Information
For more sensitive/special categories of Personal Information we will rely on either:
- your consent; or
- one or more of the other legal justifications set out below (however other legal justifications may be available):

- the use is necessary for complying with a legal obligation for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, medical diagnosis or the provision of health or social care or treatment; or

By applying for insurance with AIG and/or in accessing and using AIG Digital Services, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and/or otherwise processing of any of your Personal Information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy. We may also, where required, obtain your consent for the collection, use, disclosure and/or otherwise processing your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy through other relevant documentation (such as through application forms). Any consent given by you will not be affected by the termination or expiry of your insurance policy.
Unless otherwise restricted by the applicable law, you may withdraw your consent to the collection, use, disclosure, or processing of any of your Personal Information at any time by contacting us (please see section titled “Who to contact about your Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy for the contact details). We will effect your withdrawal of consent within a reasonable period or required period after receiving your request. We will, thereafter, cease to collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information, unless required under applicable laws.
Should you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with the services that you have requested and we will inform you of the consequences of such withdrawal of consent where applicable
We are committed to detecting and preventing fraud, and other financial crime. We take this commitment very seriously and use Personal Information in a number of ways for this purpose.
For example, if relevant to our relationship with you, we will (where permitted by applicable law):
submit your Personal Information (including details of any claims you make, for example, details of injuries) so that they appear on registers of claims which are shared between different insurance providers;
search registers of previous claims when assessing a claim; and
share your Personal Information with other insurers, fraud prevention agencies databases, and law enforcement agencies.
For further details, please see the section below ‘Who is Personal Information shared with?' or please contact us using the details provided below (see section below ‘Who to contact about your Personal Information?’).
Sometimes, as part of our business operations, decisions about you are taken using automated computer software and systems. These decisions do not involve human input, and the software and systems apply pre-defined logic programming and criteria to make a decision and assess how we deal with you in connection with the provision of services.
For example, we sometimes use automated decision making as part of a process to:
- decide whether a travel insurance claim should be paid as requested (for example, if pre-specified criteria are met by responses that you provide, the claim will be paid automatically without the need for additional human intervention); or
- identify known pre-existing medical conditions in connection with our travel insurance business to decide whether we can offer insurance to you and on what terms; or
- generally, assess your eligibility for insurance using a pre-defined set of criteria.
In accordance with applicable laws/regulations, we provide you with more information in relation to any automated decision processes before or at the time that we intend to make decisions in this way. You have the right in certain circumstances/jurisdictions not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing. Please see the section below 'What are your Personal Information rights?' below for further details of this right.
Where required to do so, we will seek your consent prior to collecting your Personal Information for the abovementioned processes.
The AIG group comprises a number of companies, including, but not limited to, the AIG parent company American International Group, Inc., AIG PC Global Services, Inc., AIG Global Operations, Inc. and AIG Global Operations (Ireland) Limited..
