General Data Protection Regulation

Data protection, data security and the responsible handling of personal data are important to Willers Engineering AG. We process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and, where applicable, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In principle, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. surname, first name, telephone number, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that despite all the measures we have taken, data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps and therefore complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed in every case.

The creation of a cookie is a way of temporarily storing data and serves to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

The cookies we use most frequently are so-called „session cookies“, which have a limited lifespan. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize you as a visitor on your next visit and thus offer you a better visitor experience. You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set.

You can also specifically allow cookies only in individual cases or generally exclude them. You can also set cookies to be deleted automatically when you close the browser window. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

The hosting provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits.

These are in particular:

- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

The primary purpose of this data collection is to evaluate and prevent attempted attacks on the website. Hosting providers are also legally obliged in certain situations to be able to provide information on where access was made from in order to counter criminal activities.

To protect the transmission of confidential data via our forms and for security reasons, we use SSL encryption technology. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line "https://" and the lock symbol displayed in the browser. Data that is encrypted using SSL cannot be read by third parties during transmission.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files which are stored on the user's computer and which enable the use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, the IP address of Google users within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link.

Third-party providers, including Google, place ads on websites on the Internet. Third-party providers, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software.

Further information on the use of data for advertising purposes by Google, setting and objection options can be found on Google's websites: „Data use by Google when you use our partners' websites or apps“, „Use of data for advertising purposes“, „Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising“ and „Determine which advertising Google shows you“.

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the user's IP address. This is because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user's browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content.

We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this.

If you do not wish to disclose any personal data, please log out your Google account or use a plugin like Ghostery, to block the data exchange. Here you can find the Google privacy policy.

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data at any time. In particular, you have the right to know the origin and recipient of your data and the purpose of data processing as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data.

If you have any questions about data protection or require further information, you can contact our data protection officer Mr. Adrian Staudenmaier at any time: adrian.staudenmaier@willers.ch, phone +41 44 303 20 42.

We hereby object to the use of the contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails or post.
