Personal Information Collected by This Website and Why
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
Website Traffic Monitoring
Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, better understand how they find and use our pages, and track their journey through the site. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, 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 access to it. We consider Google a third-party data processor compliant with European legislation.
Contact Forms and Email Links
If you choose to contact us via a contact form or email link, none of the data you provide will be stored on this website, transferred, or processed by any third-party data processors, as described below in the “Our Third-Party Data Processors” section. Instead, this data is sent to us via email through the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (also known as SSL), meaning the email content is encrypted before transmission over the internet. The email content is decrypted on our local computers and devices.
