Personal information that this site collects and why we collect it

1. Website traffic monitoring
   Like most websites, we use Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our website, and to see how they are doing within the site. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, your device, your web browser, and your operating system, none of this information makes you personally known to us. GA also records the IP address of your computer, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not give us access to it. We believe that Google is a third party data processing provider that complies with the requirements of European legislation.
2. Contact forms and email links
   In case you choose to contact us using a contact form or a link to our email, none of the data you provide will be stored on this site or transferred or processed by any third party data processing authority, as set out below in the “Our third party data processors” section. Instead, this data will be sent to as an email via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
   Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (sometimes also known as SSL), which means that email content is encrypted before it is sent over the Internet. The content of the e-mail is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
