» Data Privacy Statement

Effective date: August 20, 2018

Protecting your private information is a top priority. This statement explains what information is collected, why it is collected and how it is handled.

Holding private information is a serious responsibility, and this page explains how that responsibility is addressed.

The short version

Your information is collected only with your consent and only to the extent necessary for the purpose of your interaction. Personal information is not sold to third parties and is used only as described in this Privacy Statement. The data is processed within the European Union.

The short version cannot cover every detail, so please continue reading for further information.

What information is collected and why?

When you browse this website, the same basic technical information collected by most websites may be processed. This includes information contained in web server logs and data collected through common internet technologies such as cookies.

The collected technical information may include the browser type, language preference, referring website, requested pages, and the date and time of each request. Internet Protocol addresses may also be processed.

This information is used to understand how visitors use the website and to monitor and protect the website's security.

What information is not intentionally collected?

Sensitive personal information such as social security numbers, genetic data, health information or religious information is not intentionally collected.

How is collected information shared?

Personal information is not sold, rented or traded to third parties for commercial purposes.

Personal information may be shared with a limited number of service providers that process information on my behalf where this is necessary to provide, operate, secure or improve this service.

Cookies and tracking

A cookie is a small piece of text stored on your computer or mobile device. Your browser sends the cookie back to the website when you return.

Matomo, formerly known as Piwik, is used for website analytics. Matomo may use cookies and process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, browser plugins, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, search terms, approximate country of origin, timestamps and similar information about your use of the website.

The information generated by Matomo remains under my control and is used to evaluate website performance and understand how visitors navigate and use the website.

An opt-out option is provided below. It allows visitors to disable tracking by this Matomo installation.

Do Not Track is a browser preference that can communicate that a user does not want certain information about online activities to be collected or shared.

How is my information secured?

Necessary and reasonable measures are taken to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Generally accepted security measures are used to protect information during transmission and storage.

No method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Absolute security can therefore not be guaranteed.

Where is my information processed?

Collected information is stored and processed within the European Union. The same standard of privacy protection is applied regardless of a visitor's country of origin or location.

This Privacy Statement may be updated from time to time. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.
