Personal information collected by this site and why we collect it
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
Monitoring site traffic
Like most websites, it uses GoogleAnalytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people who use our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their navigation within the site. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, your device, your web browser and your operating system, none of this information is made personally known to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not give us access to it. We believe that Google is a third party data processing entity that complies with the requirements of European law.
Contact forms and email links
If you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored on this website or transferred or processed by any third party data processing provider as defined below in the section “Our third party data processors”. Instead, this data will be sent to us by e-mail via the SMTP (SimpleMailTransferProtocol) protocol. Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that e-mail content is encrypted before being sent over the Internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
