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 one 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 pages, and to observe their journey 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 to identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor compliant with European legislation.
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 to or processed by any third-party data processor, as defined below in the section “Our Third-Party Data Processors.” Instead, this data will be sent to us by email via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL), which means that the email content is encrypted before being sent across the internet. The email content is decrypted on our local computers and devices.
