Collection and use of your data

Our processing of our users’ personal data is limited to data that is required to provide a functional website and our content and services. Personal data will only be processed for the purposes agreed with you or if there is another legal basis (within the meaning of the GDPR). Personal data is only collected if it is actually required to carry out and process our tasks and services or if it is provided to us on a voluntary basis.

Your rights (data subject rights)

You have the right to request information about your personal data which is processed by us. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or is being disclosed, the intended storage period, the existence of a right of rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, data portability (unless transmission involves disproportionate effort), the origin of your data, unless it was collected by us, and the existence of automated decision making including profiling.

You also have the right to withdraw any consent you may have given to the use of your personal data at any time.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us is not in line with applicable data protection regulations, you have the option of lodging a complaint with a data protection authority.

Description and scope of data processing

Data collection when visiting our website Each time the website www.sos-kinderdorf.li is accessed, data and information is automatically collected by the accessing computer’s system. The following data is collected:

  • complete IP address of the requesting computer; • date and time of access;

  • name of the requested file;

  • page from which the file was requested; • access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.);

  • web browser and operating system used; and

  • volume of data transferred.

It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons based on this data. The information collected is stored for a maximum period of three months. The data is stored for reasons pertaining to data security—particularly to prevent attempts to attack our web server—and to ensure the system’s stability and operational reliability.

Data processing in connection with our website is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.


Cookies
We use cookies on our website, which are required for technical reasons, to make our website user-friendly. If you arrived at our website via a Google Ads advertisement, a ‘conversion cookie’ will have been used. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies are saved until you delete them. This allows us to recognise your browser the next time you visit us. If you do not want this to happen, you can configure your browser to notify you about the use of cookies and to only accept them in individual cases. However, we would like to point out that disabling will mean that you will be unable to use all of our website’s features.

The legal basis for data processed by cookies is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

Mamoto
This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that make it possible to recognize the user across multiple pages with the aim of analyzing the user patterns (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information recorded by Matomo about the use of this website will be stored on our server. Prior to archiving, the IP address will first be anonymized.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization
For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

Hosting
We host Matomo with the following third-party provider:

Sitewalk Establishment
Im alten Riet 153
9494 Schaan

Cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites. The information collected using the cookie is used to compile statistics. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to tracking being used by disabling the Google cookie in your Internet browser.
