Your personal data at Vergani

Personal data is information that is used to identify you or that can be assigned to you. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address, your e-mail address and your IP address, your purchasing activities and your password. If you are in contact with us to process your order in our online shop, via e-mail or other means of communication, if you would like to receive our periodic newsletter and other information or if you are interested in our events or services, we will collect, process and use your personal data for our own purposes.

We only pass on this information to third parties if we work together with external partners for our events and services. The data passed on in this way may only be used by our partners to fulfil their services (e.g. delivery notifications). Other suppliers and auxiliary persons (e.g. for setting up, servicing and maintaining our IT systems) may also have access to your personal data and are therefore contractually obliged by us to comply with all applicable data protection regulations.

Our measures to protect your personal data at Vergani

Vergani is a Swiss company and we apply such technical, organisational and other measures as we deem appropriate to protect your personal data from loss, disclosure and, most importantly, unauthorised access, such as the issuance of directives, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions and other controls. We regularly review our security policies and processes with our IT specialists to ensure that your data is protected.

Our use of your personal data at Vergani

We use your personal data primarily to recommend our products and services to you, to process your orders and to fulfil our legal obligations, in particular our accounting obligations. In addition, we use your personal data to further develop our products and services, for security measures (IT, building and communication security) and, if you have permitted us to do so, to send you our publications and other information. To protect legitimate interests, we must disclose personal data in certain cases. This can be the case with (i) statutory obligations to provide information, (ii) legal disputes and (iii) the collection of debts.

Cookies, tracking (Google Analytics, Facebook) and other technologies

We use cookies to optimise your use of our vergani.ch website. Cookies are small files which are stored on your data carrier and which store certain settings and data for the exchange with our website via your browser. This storage facilitates your use, for example by storing certain entries made by you in such a way that you do not have to repeat them constantly. Most of the cookies used by us are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (end of session) ("session cookies"). Session cookies are required, for example, so that the cookie information is not displayed again on every page.

The visits to our websites are evaluated by means of Google Analytics and cookies for the purpose of improving the offer. An order processing contract has been concluded with Google. The data is collected anonymously and not on a personal basis. You can generally deactivate Google Analytics with the help of a browser add-on.

In addition, we also use cookies that remain on your hard drive ("permanent cookies"). On your next visit, we will then automatically recognize that you have already been with us, although we do not know who you are. In the cookies we use, only pseudonymous data is stored, but not your name, your IP address or similar data that would allow a direct assignment of the cookie to you. These permanent cookies (lifetime 1 month to 10 years) are stored on your hard disk and delete themselves after the specified time. If you block our cookies, our website will only be available to you with limited functionality.

Our website uses Google Analytics and comparable web analysis services. Google LLC, USA, also uses cookies to transfer information about your use of vergani.ch (including your IP address) to a server in the USA, where it is combined with data from other websites that you have visited and stored. Google LLC uses this information to compile reports on your website activities for website operators and to provide other services associated with website and Internet use.

We use facebook.com social plugins from Facebook Inc., USA. These plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the like button. The data exchange explicitly does not take place by clicking on the Like button, but already by the code delivered by Facebook on our website ("Facebook cookie").
