Last updated: 28 July 2025

We place great importance on ensuring transparency in the handling of personal data.

To maintain a high level of transparency, this privacy policy is regularly reviewed and updated.

3. General Principles

3.1 What data do we collect from you and from whom do we obtain it?

We primarily process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect while operating our website. In some cases, we also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:

  • Personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
  • Contact details (mobile number, email address, etc.)
  • Financial data (e.g., account information)
  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs, IP addresses)
  • Location and traffic data
  • Audio and video recordings
  • Special categories of personal data (e.g., biometric data or health information)

3.2 Under what circumstances do we process your data?

We handle your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes defined in this privacy policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If we are exceptionally unable to adhere to these principles, data processing may still be lawful if a justification exists. Legitimate grounds may include:

  • Your consent
  • The performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures
  • Our legitimate interests, provided your interests do not override them

3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of that consent unless another legal basis applies.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address listed in our imprint. Data processing carried out prior to your withdrawal is not affected.

3.4 In what cases do we disclose your data to third parties?

a. General principle

We may rely on third-party services or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients may include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms
  • Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.)
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.)
  • Payment service providers
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services

We ensure that these third parties and affiliates comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.

In some cases, we may also be legally required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting our social media channels
We may embed links to our social media channels on our website (typically visible via icons). When you click these icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.

The social media providers will then know that you accessed their platform via our website and may use the collected data for their own purposes. We have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by these providers.

c. Data transfers abroad
In the course of processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are bound by the same data protection obligations as we are. Transfers can take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not match that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure equivalent protection (e.g., through the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally required measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we implement additional technical measures to safeguard your data.
The EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses can be accessed here:
https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_en.

3.5 How long do we store your data?

We store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was collected.

  • Data collected during your website visit is retained for 12 months.
  • Analytics and tracking data may be stored for a longer period.
  • Contract data must be stored longer due to legal obligations, particularly for accounting and tax purposes. Business communications, executed contracts, and booking documents must be kept for up to 10 years. Once no longer needed for providing services, such data are locked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How do we protect your data?

We store your data securely and take all appropriate measures to protect it from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

Our employees and contractual partners with access to your data are bound by data protection obligations. In some cases, your requests may need to be forwarded to affiliated companies, but your data will still be handled confidentially.

Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.

3.7 What are your rights?

a. Right of access
You may request information about the personal data we store about you at any time. Please send your request along with proof of identity to: info@renggli-ag.com.

You also have the right to receive your data in a commonly used format if:

  • you have provided consent for its processing, or
  • the data were disclosed in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.

We may limit or refuse disclosure if it conflicts with legal obligations, legitimate interests, or third-party rights.

The processing time for your request is 30 days, but this period may be extended due to high request volumes, legal or technical reasons, or if we require additional information from you. You will be informed of any extension in due time, at least in text form.

b. Deletion and correction
You may request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may refuse such a request if we are legally required to retain or keep the data unchanged.

Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual obligations and affect contract performance (e.g., early termination or additional costs).

c. Legal action
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or submit a complaint to the competent supervisory authority.
In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): https://www.edoeb.admin.ch.

3.8 Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may change this privacy policy at any time. Changes will be published at: https://renggli-ag.com/, but you will not be informed separately.

4. Specific Data Processing Activities

4.1 Providing the Website and Creating Log Files

What information do we collect and how do we use it?
When you visit https://renggli-ag.com/, certain data are automatically stored on our servers or on the servers of services and products we use and/or have installed, for system administration, statistical, security, or tracking purposes. These include:

  • Name of your internet service provider
  • Your IP address (where applicable)
  • Your browser software version
  • The operating system of the device accessing the URL
  • Date and time of access
  • The website from which you accessed our URL
  • Search terms you used to find the URL

Why are we allowed to process these data?
These data cannot be assigned to a specific individual and are not combined with other data sources. Storing log files ensures the website’s functionality and IT security. This constitutes our legitimate interest.

How can you prevent data collection?
Data are stored only as long as necessary to achieve the purpose of collection and are deleted at the end of each session. Storing log files is essential for website operation, so you cannot object to it.

4.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer to enable an analysis of website usage.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within the EU or the EEA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of this website’s operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services relating to website and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings; however, doing so may mean you cannot fully use all features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by cookies (including your IP address) and their processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4.3 YouTube

We have embedded videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”), on our website. When viewing these videos or clicking the play button, data — including your IP address and browser information — is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. These data are used to provide the video, monitor performance, and improve user experience.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
