What will we do with your information?

Personal data will not be used for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except where required by law. Personal data will be retained only if necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes. As a reinsurance broker Ghana Re may collect and use relevant information about  insureds to assess the reinsurance risk and seek the reinsurance market support.

This information may include the  insured’s details such as their name, address and contact details and any other information that Ghana Re collects about them in connection with the reinsurance cover. This information may include more sensitive details such as information about their age, gender, race, ethnic origin, health, and employment.

To enable Ghana Re to use  an insured’s details in accordance with applicable data protection laws, the Ceding company must obtain consent  for the  use of the person’s data and provide those  with certain information about how their details related to  the reinsurance cover will be used. Any consent required will be deemed as received by the Ceding Company prior to Ghana Re handling any business placement for the cedant.

Ghana Re is committed to using only the personal information needed to assist with the reinsurance placement and restricting use and access to the data by concerned personnel. To  achieve this, ceding companies should only provide Ghana Re with necessary information  re request to proceed with the reinsurance placement.
