Relevant legislation

Personal information this website collects and why we collect it

This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:

Website visitor tracking

Like most websites, this one uses 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 webpages and to see their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical 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 who is compliant with EU legislation.

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 be transferred or processed by any third-party data processors as defined below in the section “Our third-party data processors”. Instead, those data will be sent to us in an email through the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by a security protocol TLS (sometimes known as SSL), meaning that the email content is encrypted before being sent across the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices.

Electronic Newsletter

If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. MailChimp is a third-party data processor (see below section “Our third-party data processors”). The email address that you submit will not be stored in this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.

Your email address will remain in the MailChimp database for as long as we continue to use their email marketing services or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by using the unsubscribe link contained in the email newsletters that we send to you. While your email address remains in the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately once a month) email newsletter from us.
