Personal information that this site collects and why we collect it

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 progress within the site. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, your device, your web browser and your operating system, none of this information is made 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 it. We believe that Google is a third party data processing entity that complies with the requirements of European law.

Instead, this data will be emailed to us via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that e-mail content is encrypted before being sent over the Internet. The contents of the e-mail are 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, which provides us with email marketing services. MailChimp is a third party data processor (see “Our Third Party Data Processors” below). The submitted e-mail address will not be stored in the on-site database or in any of our company’s internal IT systems.
Your email address will remain in the MailChimp Database as long as we continue to use its email marketing services or until you explicitly request its removal from the list. You can do this by using the unsubscribe link 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.
