Site Traffic Monitoring
Like most websites, our website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people who use our site, to better understand how they discover and use our web pages and to see their actions 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 is made personally known to us.

We trust that Google is a third party, data processing entity, that complies with the regulations of the European law.

If you choose to contact us using our contact form or some email link, none of the data you provide will be stored on this website or transferred or processed by any third party, data processing provider, as defined below in the section “Our third party data processors”.

Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that e-mail content is encrypted before being sent over the Internet. The contents of the e-mail are decrypted by our local computers and devices.
