3. For what purposes do we process your personal data?

We use the personal data listed above for the purpose of:

  • Providing and improving our website: We continually strive to improve our website content and, therefore, use cookies and other similar techniques for statistical purposes to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use the website and increase user-friendliness.

  • Improving and adjusting the user experience: We may create group profiles or segments for the purpose of creating anonymous, aggregated statistics about the use of our websites, products, and services in order to identify features that could be improved and to provide context-based advertising to certain groups (data collected for these purposes is not used to identify a particular individual but to analyze how individuals in general or how certain groups use the website or services).

  • Sending marketing material: We are sending newsletters and other information you've signed up for, as well as marketing materials (note that you can always opt out of marketing via an unsubscribe link included in each message).

  • Communicating with you: We may send updates and information about Rensa Filtration, event invitations, exhibitions, industry thought pieces, etc.

  • Asking for feedback: We may conduct surveys to gather feedback and improve Rensa Filtration and our offerings to customers.

  • Administering the relationship: We value our relationship with the customer and/or supplier company you represent, and we need to communicate with you, for example, regarding orders, products, or services.

  • Communicating with you: If you have any complaints or questions about our offerings, products, or services, we will process your request (note that if your request or inquiry requires it, we may ask our sales representatives to contact you, and such sales representatives are usually independent companies).

  • Customer service: We continually strive to improve our customer service, and your information/feedback helps us respond to your customer service requests and support needs more efficiently and effectively.

  • Sales: We may use your data to follow up on sales leads and interest in our products and solutions (usually done via contact forms).

  • Targeted advertising: We or our advertising partners may display content or advertisements to a website visitor. For example, a visitor may see a Rensa Filtration advertisement (a recently viewed product on our website) on an advertising partner's website. We use cookies and other similar technologies to display such personalized adverts based on, for example, your browsing, purchase history, or log-in information. 

4. When is your personal data erased?

We retain your data as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes above; thereafter, it is erased. If you are a representative, we keep your data as long as you are the designated representative of the company you are representing; thereafter, your contact details are replaced with the new representative's contact details. If you subscribe to our newsletters and information, we keep your data in order to provide you with such information as long as you have not opted out of the newsletters (you may always opt-out using the link included in all emails).

5. With what legal basis do we process your personal data?

A majority of our processing is carried out based on a balancing of interests. This means that we have a legitimate interest in processing your data and doing it in a way that doesn't interfere with your privacy. For example, our legitimate interests consist of the following:

  • Fulfilling the agreement we have with the company you are representing as well as administrating and maintaining a good relationship with such company. For that purpose, we have a legitimate interest in communicating with you and providing you with relevant information.

  • Providing relevant information, newsletters, and marketing.

  • Providing our website and performing statistical analysis of website usage in order to develop new and relevant functions. 

6. To whom do we disclose your personal data?

Your personal data may be shared within Rensa Filtration and disclosed to other Rensa Filtration group companies for the purpose of leading, planning, and organizing the work and to external parties outside of Rensa Filtration (e.g., parties providing services to Rensa Filtration, such as distributors, agents or suppliers). The companies we disclose data to are only allowed to process your data per our instructions, and by way of agreements, we ensure a high level of security for your personal data.

We will also disclose your data to authorities if it follows from a legal requirement or administrative decisions or if Rensa Filtration is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets.

Should we transfer your data to external companies outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that appropriate security measures have been taken, such as including the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses for data transfers (which are available on the EU Commission's website) in our agreements with the parties accessing personal data.
