General principle
In accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revised FADP), in force since 1 September 2023, WNG SA undertakes to process your personal data lawfully, in good faith and in proportion to the purposes pursued. Your data is never sold to third parties.

Cookies and tracking technologies
This site uses cookies and similar technologies, grouped into four categories:
Strictly necessary cookies — essential for the site to work (sessions, authentication). No consent required.
Performance and audience measurement cookies — notably Google Analytics (with IP anonymisation and Consent Mode V2 enabled). Activated only after your consent.
Marketing and social media cookies — notably Meta Pixel (Facebook). Activated only after your consent.
Comfort cookies — notably Hotjar (recording of anonymised sessions). Activated only after your consent.
You can accept, refuse or change your preferences at any time via the “Data management” link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics (Google LLC, United States). The data collected is pseudonymised (IP anonymisation enabled) and Google operates under Consent Mode V2: no analytics data is transmitted without your prior consent. Google participates in the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, recognised by the FDPIC as guaranteeing an adequate level of protection within the meaning of art. 16–17 FADP; no standard contractual clauses are therefore required for this transfer. You can object to this processing via your cookie preferences or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
International data transfers
Transfers to service providers based in the United States are in principle covered by the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-US DPF), recognised by the FDPIC as guaranteeing an adequate level of protection (art. 16 FADP). Google and Meta participate in this framework; their certifications can be consulted on dataprivacyframework.gov. For US providers not participating in the Swiss-US DPF, or for transfers to other countries without an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses are put in place in accordance with art. 16–17 FADP. In all cases, these transfers are only made with your prior consent where required.
Retention periods
Data category | Retention period |
|---|---|
Contact form data | 2 years after the last exchange |
Application data | 6 months after the end of the recruitment process |
Analytics data (Google Analytics) | 14 months |
Newsletter data | Until unsubscription |
Technical logs | Rolling 90 days |

In accordance with art. 25 to 30 FADP, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right | Description | Time limit |
|---|---|---|
Access (art. 25) | Obtain confirmation of the processing and a copy of your data | 30 days |

Erasure (art. 32) | Request the deletion of your data | 30 days |
Delivery / portability (art. 28) | Receive your data in a structured, readable format | 30 days |
