We are committed to meeting our obligations and respecting your rights every time we process your data.

2. What does ‘processing data’ mean and who is responsible for this?

By ‘processing data’ we mean any personal data processing operation. The term ‘processing’ covers, amongst other things, the collection, recording, organisation, keeping, updating, amendment, retrieval, consultation, use, dissemination or other provision, grouping together, combining, archiving, erasure or ultimate destruction of personal data.

4. Why do we process your data?

We process personal data for various purposes. We only ever process the data required in order to achieve our intended
purpose.
For instance, we use personal data:

∫ With obtained permission;
∫ In performance of a contract;
∫ In order to satisfy a legal or regulatory obligation;
∫ If Renson has a legitimate interest that outweighs the interest of the data subject.
The following purposes require that we use your personal data:

∫ Optimising our customer service;
∫ Resolving any problems customers have with products;
∫ Promoting products and services by Renson and its affiliated companies (direct or indirect customers) via direct
marketing;
∫ Communicating personal notifications and campaigns based on collected information about your use of our websites, by
means of cookies or similar technologies;
∫ Analysing and optimising the user experience on our website;
∫ …

5. How do we secure your data?

We guarantee that our security policy for processing personal data is always adequate and features the latest technology in order to protect against unauthorised access, disclosure or loss.

6. Confidentiality
In order to achieve said purposes, only persons who have been authorised to do so have access to personal data. These persons may therefore only process the data further if this is necessary to achieve these purposes.
Renson guarantees that it has taken adequate practical and organisational measures to ensure the confidentiality of data in its internal operations.

7. Do we sell your data to third parties or do we pass your data on?

Personal data can be shared with partners or with other Renson companies for the same purposes. The personal data are not, under any circumstances, exchanged with, sold to or communicated to other organisations, unless the customer/ contact has been informed of this and has explicitly consented to this.
Without explicit consent we shall not sell any personal data to third parties, nor shall we pass such on to third parties, unless:

∫ Such is provided to our legal successors;
∫ This is required for our services;
∫ There is a legal obligation incumbent on us;
∫ There is a legitimate interest for Renson or the third party concerned.

In the event of an international transfer of personal data we shall protect your data according to the level of protection required by European law.
We can use anonymous, aggregated data for commercial purposes or for external reporting. Such data can never be traced back to a certain individual.

8. What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

On request, the customer/contact can always access his/her personal data and have it corrected or deleted. Here, due regard should be paid to the statutory retention periods. Moreover, the customer/contact is entitled at any time to request that his/her data no longer be used for direct marketing purposes. The user can send a corresponding e-mail at any time to info@renson.eu.
