We collect and process your personal data only when absolutely necessary.
We will never sell, rent, rent, distribute, or disclose in any way your personal data.
If you are under 16 years old, you MUST have parental consent before using the services of this website.
Relevant legislation

Personal information this site collects and why we collect it
This website collects and uses personal information for the following purposes:
Website traffic monitoring
Like most websites, this one 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 find and use our web pages and to see their path through the site. Although GA records data such as your geographic location, your device, your internet browser and your operating system, none of this information makes you personally known to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not give us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data controller that is compliant with the requirements of European law.
Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using our contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred or processed by any third party data processor, as defined below in the section “Our third party data processors”. Instead, this data will be sent to us in an e-mail message via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) security protocol, which means that email content is encrypted before it is sent over the internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
Electronic newsletter
If you choose to participate in our email newsletter, the email address you submit to us will be forwarded to Mailchimp who provides us with marketing services for our email. Mailchimp is a third party data processor (see “Our third party data processors” below). The email address you submit will not be stored in the database within the website or in any of our internal IT systems. Your email address will remain in Mailchimp’s database as long as we continue to use its services for our email marketing or until you explicitly request to be removed from the list. You can do this by using the unsubscribe link contained in all the email newsletters we send you. As long as your email address remains in the Mailchimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately once a month) email updates from us.
