GDPR for the Insurance Sector

Navigate the complex intersection of personal data and risk with confidence. This course provides the specialized knowledge to turn GDPR compliance from a legal obligation into a strategic advantage for your insurance products and operations.

The Unique Data Landscape of Insurance

Insurance is built on data—from health questionnaires to claims histories. Processing this sensitive information lawfully under the GDPR is not just about consent; it's about identifying the correct legal basis for underwriting, managing claims, and preventing fraud, all while respecting the heightened protections for special category data.

Applying GDPR to Core Insurance Processes

You will learn how to dissect and apply GDPR principles directly to insurance workflows. The course covers data minimization in policy applications, lawful basis for processing claims data, conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments for new products, and building compliant direct marketing strategies for cross-selling.
