Last updated: 05/2018

For Allianz Global Investors GmbH, registered at Bockenheimer Landstrasse 42-44, 60323 Frankfurt, Germany, and its subsidiaries and branches ("AllianzGI" or "we"), the protection of privacy and personal information (i.e. any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual person, "Personal Data") is an important concern to which we pay special attention within all our business processes. We believe in transparency and are committed to being upfront about our privacy practices, including how we treat Personal Data.

This Client Representative Privacy Notice describes how the AllianzGI entity processes Personal Data of legal representatives/agents/contact persons ("Representatives") of customers and business partners ("Clients") who have entered or will enter into a contractual arrangement with AllianzGI to obtain our services. It sets out how and which kind of Personal Data AllianzGI may obtain, how AllianzGI uses, shares and protects such data, the rights of Representatives with respect to the data, and how to contact AllianzGI about our privacy practices.

Information about the processing of Personal Data collected when visiting our websites can separately be found in the Privacy Statement on our websites.

1. Who we are
Allianz Global Investors GmbH is responsible for the processing of Personal Data of Representatives for own purposes (for example to conclude or perform a contract with a Client).

Moreover, other entities of AllianzGI could become responsible for the processing of Personal Data of Representatives, for example, for the purpose of marketing their own offerings. A list of all AllianzGI entities with respective contact details is available under www.allianzgi.com/en/our-firm/our-offices.

To the extent two or more AllianzGI entities process Personal Data of Representatives in a joint manner, we kindly ask you to address any queries you may have directly to the contact person whose details are set out in Section 12. The respective contact person will then forward your query to the AllianzGI entity that is primarily responsible, if necessary.

2. Personal data obtained about Representatives
AllianzGI will obtain Personal Data of Representatives when it enters into contracts with Clients and in connection with maintaining AllianzGI's Client relationships and providing services to Clients. If Clients provide us with Personal Data of their Representatives, they have a legal obligation to inform the Representatives about this and obtain their consent, where legally required.

AllianzGI will also obtain Personal Data of Representatives from publicly available sources (for example from a Client’s website in anticipation of a prospective client relationship).

3. The types of Personal Data we may obtain
We will obtain the following types of Personal Data about Representatives:

• Representatives’ names, postal or e-mail addresses, fax numbers, and phone numbers;
• Employment information (e.g., job titles);
• Gender, age, nationality, date and place of birth;
• Representatives’ communication preferences (e.g. postal, by phone or email).

• Manage existing and prospective Client relationships (e.g. in relation to the conclusion or fulfilment of an contract);
• Communicate with Representatives (for example, about services we offer or intend to offer or in connection with events, Client reporting, also by way of sending newsletters, advertisements, surveys and information about promotions);
• Perform accounting, auditing, and billing activities;
• Safeguard and defend AllianzGI‘s interests (for example where it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding (suspected) illegal activities, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or potential harm to AllianzGI including but not limited to fraud prevention and detection);
• Meet any legal obligations (for example, tax, accounting and administrative obligations, prevention of terrorism financing law, anti-money laundering law (such as carrying out customer due diligence) and industry standards;
• Comply with law enforcement requests or discovery procedures, or where required or permitted by applicable laws, court orders, government regulations, or government authorities.

• Entities within the AllianzGI Group (please find an overview under https://www.allianzgi.com/en/our-firm/contact-us) or Allianz where this is reasonably necessary or desirable (e.g. for purposes of fraud prevention or marketing, where legally permitted);
• Service providers that AllianzGI has retained to perform services on its behalf, such as IT or service providers; these service providers are not permitted to use the Personal Data for their own purposes but are required to solely process the data upon instructions received from AllianzGI;
• Law enforcement or other government authorities, if required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others or ourselves;
• Other parties in the event of any contemplated or actual reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of AllianzGI’s business, assets or stock (including in any insolvency or similar proceedings), if applicable.

• Where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with a Representative or in order to take steps at the request of a Representative prior to entering into a contract;
• Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are legally obliged to retain certain Client-related data);
• Where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests unless these are overridden by your own legitimate interests; our legitimate interests include – as the case may be – the following:
• Conducting business with a Client through communicating with you as a Representative;
• Marketing purposes, for example to provide you with offers more tailored to the Client’s business;
• Protecting Allianz and/or its employees from harm, by preventing or detecting illegal activities, suspected fraud or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or potential harm to AllianzGI;
