Please take a moment to read this Privacy Policy and the Legal Disclaimer before using this website. By using the Wuersch & Gering LLP website (the “Site”), you agree to accept the terms of our Privacy Policy and you also accept the Legal Disclaimer.  If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.  This Privacy Policy applies only to information that we collect on the Site and does not apply to information which we may collect by other means.

Wuersch & Gering LLP (“we” or “us”) has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and to let you know what information we may collect from you on the Site and how we may use and share that information.

Information You Submit:

In general, you can visit the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  However, the Site contains forms that require users to provide contact information (like their name, telephone and e-mail address). We use the submitted information to send users information about the firm, or for replying to specific requests for information. The information a user submits will not be shared with any third party.

We reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We also reserve the right to disclose visitor information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Links to Other Websites:

This Site contains links to other websites that are not controlled by Wuersch & Gering.  These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data or solicit personally identifiable information.  The privacy policies of these other sites may be significantly different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personally identifiable information collected there.

From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on.  We collect this information through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies, which are discussed in greater detail below.  We collect this information in order to determine which areas of the Site are most popular and to enhance the Site for visitors. We may group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential business partners or other third parties, or in response to a government request.  We may also group preferences information that we collect from visitors into aggregate data for the same purposes.  However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site.

Tracking and Statistics:
We employ statistical and analytical software to automatically track how the content provided at this Site is linked to and how often and in what sequence it is viewed. This tracking allows us to gain a better understanding of potential areas for improvement so as to continually improve the relevance of and accessibility to the content we provide.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our Site is accessed.   An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers, for example, automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

Any statistical usage information will only be used within Wuersch & Gering LLP, and our relevant partners, to increase the quality of content, service and support to our visitors. It is not our practice to link the information we record using cookies or other tracking technologies to any Personal Information you submit while on the Site.  However, we reserve the right to use cookies, IP addresses and other tracking technologies to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Site’s policies, to protect the Site, our visitors, clients or others, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Use of Cookies:

Some of our web pages utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. For example, we may use cookies to collect information about Site activity.  Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies altogether.  However, please be aware that some features of the Site may not function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies.  However, this will not affect your ability to access most of the content on the Site.

We have taken reasonable and appropriate steps, by implementing certain hardware and software safeguards, to protect the information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.  However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of such information.

The Site features artwork by various artists and also images, photographs and graphics created specifically for the Site.  All images, photographs and graphics on the site are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.  You may not copy or otherwise use any of the images on the Site without the express written permission of the copyright owner.
