We handle the hereunder mentioned personal data that we collect directly from you or via cookies (see cookies policy).

The data processings that we conduct are there because either you have consented to it or for our legitimate interests. You can find those reasons and legal bases hereunder.

2.1. When you make use of our website

We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google Analytics to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

This data processing is based on your consent (article 6.1.a of the GDPR).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (see Your Rights hereunder).

We retain those data as long as they are relevant.

They cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us.
