Welcome to the RENZ privacy policy.
This privacy policy will inform you about what happens to your personal data when you use the RENZ parcel box system (referred to as “the System” in this privacy policy) and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
This privacy policy covers the specific areas set out below.
Please use the Glossary in section 10 to understand the meaning of some of the terms used in this privacy policy.
Purpose of this privacy policy
This privacy policy aims to give you information on how your personal data is collected and processed through your use of the System.
The System is not intended for children and data relating to children is not knowingly collected.
The person who makes the System available to you and who operates the System (for example, your landlord, your property manager, your employer) is the controller and responsible for your personal data (referred to as “Controller” in this privacy policy). RENZ is not the controller.
RENZ is made up of different legal entities, details of which can be found here: https://safetyletterbox.com/about/ (referred to as “the RENZ Group” in this privacy policy). This privacy policy is issued on behalf of the RENZ Group so when we mention "RENZ", "we", "us" or "our" in this privacy policy, we are referring to the relevant company in the RENZ Group responsible for processing your data. RENZ manufactures the System and gives the Controller the right to use the software installed in the System to operate, administer and control the System. RENZ processes personal data on behalf of the Controller for the purposes described in this privacy policy.
The Controller is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about the use of your personal data, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, you should contact the data protection officer or data privacy manager of the Controller in the first instance. The contact details of the data protection officer or data privacy manager of the Controller will be made available to you by the Controller.
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
RENZ is not responsible for any failure by the Controller to comply with any applicable data protection and privacy laws in force from time to time in the UK.
We keep our privacy policy under regular review. From time to time, we may develop or make changes to the System. If those developments result in any material change to the way your personal data is collected or processed we may change the terms of this policy. You will be informed of any changes. Unless stated otherwise when we introduce developments or changes to the System, they will be subject to this privacy policy
You should inform the Controller if your personal data changes during your use of the System.
Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
In order to operate the System the Controller may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you as follows:
The Controller may also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, your Usage Data may be aggregated to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific feature of the System. However, if Aggregated Data is combined or connected with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, the combined data is treated as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
It is not necessary for the Controller to collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you to operate the System (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Neither is it necessary for the Controller to collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data held about you and to check that your personal data is being processed lawfully.
Request correction of the personal data that is held about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data held about you corrected, though you may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask for your personal data to be deleted or removed where there is no good reason to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask for your personal data to be deleted or removed where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where your information has been processed unlawfully or where the controller or processor is required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that it may not always be possible to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data on the grounds of a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, it may be demonstrated that there are compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask for the suspension of the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
Where the use of the data is unlawful but you do not want it to be erased.
Where you need the data to be retained even if it is no longer required by the controller or processor as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to the use of your data but the controller or processor needs to verify whether they have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for it to be used or where the information has been used to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where consent is relied on to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, it may not be possible to provide certain services to you. You will be advised if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise your legal rights, you should contact the data protection officer or data privacy manager of the Controller in the first instance.
