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 site uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor 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 track their journey through the site. Although GA records data such as your geographic location, device, web 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 grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor compliant with European legislation requirements.
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 by this website or transferred to or processed by any third-party data processor, as defined below in the “Our Third-Party Data Processors” section. Instead, the data will be sent to us via email using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) security protocol, which means that email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The email content is decrypted on our local computers and devices.
