3. Personal information collected by this website and why we collect it
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
3.1 Traffic tracking
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people who use our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to see their route through the site.
Although GA records data such as your geographic location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you. GA also records the IP address of your computer, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to it. We consider Google to be the processor.
GA uses cookies, details that can be found in Google's developer guides. Our website uses the analytics.js ga application.
Disabling cookies in your internet browser will prevent GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages of this website.
3.2 Contact forms and email links
In the event that you choose to contact us using the contact form on the Contact Us page or in any other internal contact form on our service pages, none of the data you provide will be transferred / processed by anyone performing the processing as set out in section 6.0. Instead, the data will be entered in an e-mail message and sent to us through the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol. SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL), which means that email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent over the internet. Email content is decrypted from local computers and devices.
4.0 How we store your personal information
As detailed in section 3 above, if you submit a message to our contact forms some personal information will be stored in the database of this website or on our partner websites. This data is currently stored in an identifiable way. In the near future we will seek to change the storage of this data using pseudonymization, which means that the data would require additional processing using a separately stored "key" before it can be used to identify an individual.
Pseudonymization is a recent gdpr requirement that many web application developers are currently working on to fully implement. We are committed to keeping it as a high priority and will implement it on this website as soon as possible technologically.
5.0 About the server of this website
All traffic (file transfer) between this website and your browser is encrypted and delivered over HTTPS. The company uses the services of EPAFOS Information Systems, which is the most accepted and top-notch in security and performance service.
6.0 The processors we work with
We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These third parties have been carefully selected and all of them comply with the legislation set forth in section 2.0 and comply with the EU-US Privacy Security.
7.0 Data breaches
We will report any unlawful data breach of the database of this website or the database of any third party processing within 72 hours of the breach if it is obvious that the personal data stored in an identifiable one has been stolen.
8.0 Changes to our privacy policy
This privacy policy may change from time to time in accordance with laws or industry developments. We will not explicitly notify our customers or users of the site of these changes. Instead, we recommend that you check this page occasionally for any policy changes.
