Hi everyone, I have Cillian Tierney with me on the podcast to talk about the way that insurers in the EU are responding to the Right to be Forgotten. This legislation require insurers to give consumers the right to not disclose that they have had cancer when they apply for some protection insurances. The rules are different across countries and some might choose to say that you don’t need to tell the insurer that you’ve had cancer after 2 years, 5 years or more. It might be applied to all protection products or just certain ones.
Cillian is the Global Head of Medical Underwriting Propositions and Products at PartnerRe and is sharing his knowledge of how RTBF has developed in the Irish insurance market. This is potentially quite an emotional topic and we are clear from the start that we are talking about this situation from a technical basis, that might not be easy for some people to hear.
The key takeaways:
- The Right to be Forgotten is not currently legislated in the UK.
- How insurers determine the ways to assess insurance applications for people that have been diagnosed with cancer.
- Three case studies that show where the RTBF would and wouldn’t improve terms for someone that has experienced cancer.

Next time I will be back and focusing upon protection insurance planning when you have made a gift within the UK. There are very specific do’s and don’ts and the Trusts are really key!
