What Personal Data We Collect and Why

We collect and process personal data solely for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes, as described below. We limit the collection of data to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.

Activity	Data Collected	Purpose
Subscribing to our newsletter	Name, email address	To send newsletters, updates, and information related to our services and mission via MailPoet.
Browsing the Website	No personal data collected	We use Plausible Analytics to measure website usage and performance without tracking or identifying individual visitors. Only aggregated, anonymized statistics are recorded.

Details:

When subscribing to our newsletter, users must provide their explicit consent via a double opt-in process managed by MailPoet. Subscription is voluntary, and users may withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.
Our website utilizes Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused and cookie-free analytics platform. No personally identifiable information (PII), IP addresses, or tracking cookies are collected or stored during normal browsing.
When users submit a form (such as a contact form), the information provided is used exclusively to respond to the inquiry or request. This data is not used for marketing purposes unless the user has separately subscribed to our newsletter.

We do not collect or process any sensitive personal data (as defined by Article 9 GDPR) through the Website.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first web analytics service, to understand how visitors engage with our Website.

Plausible Analytics operates in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. It is specifically designed to respect visitor privacy.

In particular:

No cookies are placed or required for analytics purposes.
No personally identifiable information (such as IP addresses, device IDs, or browser fingerprints) is collected, stored, or shared.
All data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify any individual user.
Analytics data is processed and stored exclusively within the European Union, on servers operated by European-owned providers.

We use aggregated statistical information derived from Plausible Analytics solely for the legitimate purpose of improving our Website, monitoring performance, and better understanding user interactions without compromising personal privacy.

Because no personal data or tracking cookies are used for analytics, we are not required to obtain prior consent for this specific processing activity under the ePrivacy Directive. However, we remain committed to full transparency regarding our data practices.
