PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIS WEBSITE AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
WEBSITE TRAFFIC MONITORING
Like most websites, this website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their navigation through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer's IP address, which could be used for your identification, but Google does not grant us access to it. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor that is compliant with European legislation.
CONTACT FORMS AND EMAIL LINKS
If you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link on our website, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transmitted or processed by any third-party data processor, as defined below in the "Our Third-Party Data Processors" section. Instead, these data will be sent to us via an email message using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) security protocol, meaning that the email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
