Privacy Policy
With this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with our activities and operations, including our website under the domain name
We have drawn up this Privacy Policy in German. If it is published in another language, the German-language Privacy Policy shall remain authoritative.
For individual or additional activities and operations, we may publish further privacy policies or other information on data protection.
1. Contact Addresses
The party responsible in the data protection sense is:
Marie Anna Spörri
RENARE Holding AG
Talstrasse 33
8808 Pfäffikon SZ
In individual cases, third parties may be responsible for the processing of personal data, or there may be joint responsibility with third parties. Upon request, we are happy to provide affected persons with information about the respective responsibility.
2. Terms and Legal Bases
2.1 Terms
Affected person: A natural person about whom we process personal data.
Personal data: All information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Particularly sensitive personal data: Data on trade union, political, religious or ideological views and activities, data on health, the private sphere or affiliation with an ethnic group or race, genetic data, biometric data that uniquely identify a natural person, data on criminal and administrative sanctions or prosecutions, and data on measures of social assistance.
Processing: Any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures applied, for example querying, matching, adapting, archiving, storing, reading out, disclosing, procuring, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, arranging, organising, storing, altering, distributing, linking, destroying and using personal data.
2.2 Legal Bases
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO).
3. Nature, Scope and Purpose of the Processing of Personal Data
We process those personal data that are necessary in order to carry out our activities and operations in a lasting, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. The processed personal data may in particular fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data including inventory and contact data, location data, transaction data, contract data and payment data. The personal data may furthermore constitute particularly sensitive personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of carrying out our activities and operations, insofar as such processing is permitted.
We process personal data, where necessary, with the consent of the affected persons. In many cases, we may process personal data without consent, for example in order to fulfil legal obligations or to safeguard overriding interests. We may also ask affected persons for their consent even where their consent is not required.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose. We anonymise or delete personal data in particular depending on statutory retention and limitation periods.
4. Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We may process personal data in an automated manner or use artificial intelligence for the processing of personal data.
We may use profiling in order to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to affected persons in an automated manner. Profiling serves, for example, to analyse or predict interests, behaviours or personal preferences.
Where applicable, we inform about decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and that entail a legal consequence for the affected persons or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions).
5. Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose personal data to third parties, have them processed by third parties or process them jointly with third parties. Such third parties may, for example, be specialised providers whose services we make use of. Such third parties may in turn disclose personal data to further third parties.
In the course of our activities and operations, we may in particular disclose personal data to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, advisers and lawyers, accounting and fiduciary service providers, debt collection companies, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and business information agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, parent, sister and subsidiary companies, organisations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurers and payment service providers.
6. Communication
We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with individual persons as well as with authorities, organisations and companies. In doing so, we process in particular data that an affected person transmits to us when making contact, for example by postal mail or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools.
Third parties who transmit data about other persons to us are legally obliged to ensure the data protection of these affected persons independently. In particular, they must guarantee that they are permitted to transmit such data, and also ensure the accuracy of the transmitted data.
We use selected services from suitable providers in order to enable and improve communication with individual persons and other communication partners. With such services, we may also manage and otherwise process the data of affected persons beyond direct communication, for example in connection with orders, services, projects and resource planning.
7. Applications
We process personal data about applicants insofar as it is necessary for assessing suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent performance of an employment contract. The necessary personal data results in particular from the information requested, for example in the context of a job posting. We may publish job postings with the help of suitable third parties, for example in electronic and printed media or on job portals and recruitment platforms.
We furthermore process those personal data that applicants voluntarily disclose or publish, in particular as part of cover letters, curriculum vitae and other application documents, as well as as part of online profiles.
8. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in order to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we ensure in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the processed personal data, without, however, being able to guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website and our other digital presence takes place by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting a website without transport encryption.
Our digital communication is subject – as is in principle all digital communication – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, elsewhere in Europe, in the United States of America (USA) and in other countries. We cannot exert any direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police agencies and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out that an affected person may be specifically monitored.
9. Personal Data Abroad
We generally process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process them there or have them processed there.
We may disclose personal data to all countries on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there ensures adequate data protection in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council.
We may disclose personal data to countries whose law does not ensure adequate data protection, provided that suitable data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate safeguards. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements for doing so are met, for example the explicit consent of the affected persons or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. Upon request, we are happy to provide affected persons with information about any safeguards or to supply a copy of safeguards.
10. Rights of Affected Persons
10.1 Data Protection Claims
We grant affected persons all claims in accordance with applicable law. Affected persons have in particular the following rights:
- Information: Affected persons may request information on whether we process personal data about them, and if so, which personal data are involved. Affected persons furthermore receive the information that is necessary in order to assert their data protection claims and to ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but among other things also information on the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries, and the origin of the personal data.
- Rectification and restriction: Affected persons may have incorrect personal data corrected, incomplete data completed and the processing of their data restricted.
- Opportunity for their own point of view and human review: In the case of decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and that entail a legal consequence for them or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions), affected persons may present their own point of view and request review by a human being.
- Deletion and objection: Affected persons may have personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
- Data release and data transfer: Affected persons may request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.
We may defer, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of affected persons within the legally permissible framework. We may inform affected persons of any conditions that must be met for the exercise of their data protection claims. For example, we may refuse the provision of information, in whole or in part, with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse the deletion of personal data, in whole or in part, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations.
In exceptional cases, we may provide for costs for the exercise of the rights. We inform affected persons in advance of any costs.
We are obliged to identify affected persons who request information or assert other rights by appropriate measures. Affected persons are obliged to cooperate.
10.2 Legal Protection
Affected persons have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal channels or to file a report or complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
11. Use of the Website
11.1 Cookies
We may use cookies. Cookies – both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.
Cookies may be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a certain storage duration. Cookies make it possible in particular to recognise a browser on the next visit to our website and thereby, for example, to measure the reach of our website. Permanent cookies may, however, also be used for online marketing, for example.
Cookies can be fully or partially deactivated, restricted or deleted at any time in the browser settings. The browser settings also often allow automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request – at least where and to the extent required under applicable law – explicit consent to the use of cookies.
11.2 Logging
For every access to our website and our other digital presence, we may log at least the following information, provided that it is determined or transmitted to our digital infrastructure by default during such access: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, the individual subpage of our website accessed including the volume of data transferred, the web page last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer).
We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is necessary in order to be able to provide our digital presence in a lasting, user-friendly and reliable manner. The information is furthermore necessary in order to be able to ensure data security – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
11.3 Tracking Pixels
We may embed tracking pixels in our digital presence. Tracking pixels are also referred to as web beacons. Tracking pixels – also from third parties whose services we use – are usually small, invisible images or scripts formulated in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when our digital presence is accessed. With tracking pixels, at least the same information can be recorded as with logging in log files.
12. Third-Party Services
We use services from specialised third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and operations in a lasting, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. With such services, we may, among other things, embed functions and content in our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used record, for technically compelling reasons, at least temporarily the IP addresses of the users.
For necessary security-relevant, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This concerns, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.
We use in particular:
- Microsoft services: Providers: Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Ireland) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), in Switzerland and in the United Kingdom / Microsoft Corporation (USA) for users in the rest of the world; General information on data protection: "Data protection at Microsoft", "Data protection and privacy", Privacy Statement, "Data and privacy settings".

We use services from specialised third parties in order to be able to schedule appointments online, for example for meetings. In addition to this Privacy Policy, any directly visible terms of the services used, such as terms of use or privacy policies, also apply in each case.
12.3 Audio and Video Conferences
We use specialised services for audio and video conferences in order to be able to communicate online. We can use them, for example, to hold virtual meetings or to conduct online lessons and webinars. For participation in audio and video conferences, the legal texts of the individual services, such as privacy policies and terms of use, apply in addition.
We recommend, depending on your circumstances, muting the microphone by default when participating in audio or video conferences, as well as blurring the background or having a virtual background displayed.
12.4 Online Collaboration
We use services from third parties in order to enable online collaboration. In addition to this Privacy Policy, any directly visible terms of the services used, such as terms of use or privacy policies, also apply in each case.
