QBE is committed to respecting QBE customers’ privacy and protecting their personal data from misuse or unauthorised disclosure and complying with privacy laws.

QBE’s Global Privacy Policy defines QBE’s Privacy Principles which are the foundation of QBE’s ongoing compliance with applicable privacy laws globally.

QBE adopts the following principles anchored to our values of doing the right thing. These Principles describe our intent and guide our approach to, and management of, privacy across the enterprise: 

1. We are all accountable for preserving and protecting people’s privacy at every level of our business, wherever we operate. 
2. We collect, use and share Personal Data, for known and defined business purposes, and in accordance with relevant laws. 
3. We collect, use and share only the minimum amount, embedding a Privacy By Design approach and maintaining high quality standards of Personal Data. 
4. We take reasonable steps to protect Personal Data and delete or de-identify it once no longer required and continuously seek to improve Personal Data handling processes. 
5. We are transparent with individuals and enable them to easily exercise their Privacy Rights. 

The Policy applies to all employees and is supplemented by Divisional privacy frameworks and policies.
