Protezione dei dati

Allianz Global Investors GmbH considers privacy to be a fundamental aspect of its business relationship with investors. Therefore, Allianz Global Investors GmbH is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of its investors' personal information.

In the course of providing investors with products and services, Allianz Global Investors GmbH may obtain non-public personal information about them. ‘Non-public personal information’ is generally identifiable financial information about investors. For example, with regard to private investors, such information may include details regarding their bank account (such as the account balance and the account transaction history). This non-public personal information may come from various sources, including, but not limited to, application forms, verbal or written correspondence (including correspondence in an electronic format), transactions initiated by investors, and/or data captured on this Website.

Allianz Global Investors GmbH does not disclose non-public personal information to third parties, except as allowed by applicable rules and regulations. In particular, Allianz Global Investors GmbH reserves the right to disclose such information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required under law. In addition, with a view to effecting transactions that investors request or authorize, Allianz Global Investors GmbH may disclose the information it collects, as described above, to non-affiliated companies which perform administrative services on its behalf, such as custodian banks, fund administrators, registrars and transfer agents. These companies will use this information only to provide the services in relation to which they were appointed by Allianz Global Investors GmbH, and are not permitted to use or share this information for any other purpose.

Access to non-public personal information is restricted to those persons within Allianz Global Investors GmbH who need access to such information to provide products or services to investors. Accordingly, Allianz Global Investors GmbH maintains strict procedural safeguards to protect unauthorized use of this information.
