Personal Data Protection Declaration

Introduction

As an online service provider, swissrent group AG s.r.o., recognizes that processing personal data is an essential aspect of its business. We take great care in how we process personal data and regularly review our practices to ensure compliance with data protection laws. To explain how personal data is processed for our purposes, we provide this declaration as required by Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR).

Who controls the processed personal data?

The primary controller of personal data collected or processed in relation to the use of our services is swissrent group AG s.r.o., with its registered office at Drieňová 34, 821 02 Bratislava, Slovak republic, Company ID: 55 650 333, registered with City Court Bratislava III (hereinafter referred to as the "Controller" or "Swissrent AG").

In relation to specific services or partnerships, personal data may also be controlled by third parties as outlined in their respective privacy policies.

What kind of personal data is being collected?

Personal data refers to any information that can directly or indirectly identify an individual. We collect personal data from various sources, including information provided by individuals, data collected automatically during the use of our website or services, and data obtained from third parties, such as business partners.

The data we collect includes identification details, contact information, and information related to specific activities such as equipment rental, storage services, customer service, marketing, legal compliance, and employee management. In certain cases, such as incidents involving customer injuries, we may process health-related personal data.

We process personal data belonging to users of our services, customers, partner shop owners, suppliers, and other business representatives. Our practices ensure that we collect only the data necessary for our purposes, and no unrelated data is processed.

Why are we allowed to process personal data?

Swissrent AG processes personal data based on the following lawful grounds:

  • Performance of a contract with the individual or pre-contractual arrangements;
  • Compliance with legal obligations;
  • Legitimate interests, such as fraud prevention, direct marketing, customer support, and business development, provided these do not override individuals' rights and freedoms;
  • Consent, where required, for specific processing activities.

For what purposes do we process personal data?

We process personal data to manage our services, enhance customer experiences, develop IT solutions, fulfill legal obligations, and conduct marketing and business operations. Automated processing, including profiling, may be used to improve our services and provide personalized offers, but we do not engage in automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.

Who do we share the personal data we process with?

We share personal data with trusted third parties, including suppliers, business partners, auditors, and regulatory authorities, as well as within the Swissrent AG ownership structure. Access is limited to employees and agents with a legitimate need for the data. For international data transfers, we rely on standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions to ensure GDPR compliance.

For how long do we keep personal data?

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as required by law or for potential legal claims. Data related to contracts is stored for the duration of the contract and a reasonable period thereafter to address inquiries or disputes.

How do we secure the safety of the processed personal data?

Swissrent AG implements security measures and conducts regular risk assessments to protect personal data. Access is restricted to authorized personnel, and all processing activities are conducted in line with current industry standards and data protection laws.

What are the rights of individuals whose personal data we process?

Individuals have the right to:

  • Access and obtain a copy of their personal data;
  • Rectify inaccuracies or update their data;
  • Request data portability in specific circumstances;
  • Object to certain types of processing, such as direct marketing;
  • Restrict processing under certain conditions;
  • Request data deletion where applicable;
  • Withdraw consent for processing based on consent;
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Swiss Privacy Compliance Addendum

To ensure compliance with Swiss data protection laws, we adhere to the requirements of both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), revised as of September 2023. In addition to the GDPR's provisions, we explicitly comply with Swiss legal standards. For international data transfers outside Switzerland, we rely on Swiss adequacy decisions or implement appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses approved by Swiss authorities. In the event of a data breach that poses a high risk to individuals, we will notify the affected individuals and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) as required. Additionally, Swiss residents may contact the FDPIC if they have concerns about how their data is processed. These provisions reflect our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of personal data protection in accordance with Swiss and EU regulations.
