Data processing activities and data processing purposes when visiting our website (log files)
When you visit our website www.wengervieli.ch, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your end device. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

• the IP address of the requesting computer,
• the date and time of access,
• the name and URL of the retrieved file,
• the website via which our website is accessed (referrer URL),
• the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.

This data is collected and processed in order to safeguard the use of our website, in particular the connection setup as well as system security and stability, in the long term and to optimize our website and evaluate it for internal statistical purposes. Within the scope of application of the GDPR, we refer here to the legal basis of legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
In no event do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

An IP address may be personally identifiable. However, this will only be evaluated in the event of an attack on the network infrastructure of our website or if there is suspicion of unauthorized or improper use of the website, for investigative purposes or for defense in connection with any legal claims, or used as necessary for the purpose of identification in criminal proceedings and in the context of civil and criminal proceedings. The legal basis for processing for these purposes within the scope of application of the GDPR are our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

In addition, we use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. For more information, please see the following sections of this privacy policy.

Tracking Tools
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland or Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of the use of the website, such as cookies. These generate information about your use of this website, such as:

• the navigation path that a visitor takes on the website,
• the time spent visiting the website or subpage,
• the subpage from which the website is exited,
• the country, region or city from which the website is accessed,
• the device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window),
• returning or new visitors,
• browser type/version,
• the operating system used,
• the referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• the host name of the accessing computer (IP address), and
• the time of the server request.

This data is transferred to the USA and stored there on Google servers. By activating IP anonymization ("anonymiseIP") on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and Switzerland. According to Google, the anonymized IP address transmitted by the user's browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Only in exceptional cases can the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these cases, we ensure through contractual guarantees that Google maintains a sufficient level of data protection.

The information will be used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and customized website design. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. According to Google, a connection between the IP address and other data of the user will not be established in any case.

Within the scope of application of the GDPR, this processing is carried out for our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. You can object to this data processing at any time by notifying us.

You can also prevent the data collection described above by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete cookies, the link must be clicked again.

We use Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface, "Google Maps") from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, or Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, on our website for the visual display of geographical information (maps). By using Google Maps, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Within the scope of application of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing data for this purpose is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. You can object to this data processing at any time by notifying us.

It is possible to disable Google Maps and prevent data transfers to Google by disabling JavaScript in your browser. This will result in you not being able to use the map display.

For more information about the collection, processing and use of your data by Google and your rights in this regard, please refer to the privacy policy of Google and Google Maps: policies.google.com/privacy and google.com/help/terms_maps.

If you click on the corresponding icons of the social networks, you will automatically be redirected to our profile on the respective social network. In order to use the functions of the respective network, you must partially log in to your user account for the respective network. When you open a link to one of our social media profiles, a direct connection is established between your browser and the server of the social network in question. This provides the network with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and accessed the link. If you access a link to a network while logged into your account on the network in question, the content of our site may be linked to your profile on the network, which means that the network can link your visit to our website directly to your user account.

LinkedIn Conversion Tracking and Insight Tag
The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a simple JavaScript code from LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, which we have added to our websites to enable detailed campaign reporting and help us gain insights about visitors to our website. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, target website visitors, and gain additional insights into how members interact with our LinkedIn ads.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of metadata such as IP address information, timestamps, and page views. All data is encrypted. The LinkedIn browser cookie is stored in a visitor's browser until the visitor deletes the cookie or the cookie expires (there is an expiration date of six months from the last time the Insight Tag was loaded by the visitor's browser).

You can disable cookies from LinkedIn on your LinkedIn settings page www.linkedin.com/settings/?trk. For more information, please refer to LinkedIn's relevant cookie policy www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

Data retention
We store personal data only as long as necessary for the respective purpose of data collection and processing or as required by specific legal retention periods.

The security of your data is important to us
Within the website visit, we use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
