1. Personal Information Collected by This Website
This website collects and uses personal information for the following purposes:
1.1 Visitor Tracking
The website uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor visitor/user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our pages, and to track their navigation throughout the site.
While GA records information such as your geographic location, device, browser, and operating system, none of this data personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could potentially be used for identification, but Google does not provide us access to this information. Google acts as a third-party data processor.
1.2 Contact Forms and Email Links
If you choose to contact us via the contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to or processed by any third-party data processor. Instead, this information is sent to us via email through the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are secured with encryption protocols, meaning the email content is encrypted before being sent over the Internet. The email content is decrypted on our local computers and devices.
