Personal information this website collects 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 who use our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to see their progress through the site. Although GA records data such as your geographic location, your device, your internet browser, and your operating system, none of this information makes you 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 consider Google to be a third party data processor that is compliant with the requirements of European law.
Contact forms and email links
In case you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred 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 in an e-mail message via the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
