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 monitor 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; however, Google does not grant us access to this information. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor that complies with the requirements of 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 via email using the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (sometimes referred to as SSL), meaning that the email content is encrypted before being transmitted over the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
