Personal data is any data which identifies a living person. The legal basis under which personal data is collected and processed is:

• A legitimate interest,
• Compliance with legal obligations, and
• Unambiguous consent of the individual.

Consent can be unambiguous when it is deduced from the action of the user. For example, whenever a visitor interacts with the website, some Personal Data is automatically collected such as the following:

• IP address
• Geolocation data
• Device identification i.e. mobile. Laptop, desktop
• Type of browser e.g. Chrome, Safari, MS Edge, Firefox, etc.
• Information gathered through cookies and other tracking technologies

They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).

Use of Personal Data
Personal Data is used to communicate with the user leaving a reply, comment or contact form in order to respond to user inquiries and/or comments.

Sharing information
No personal data is shared with third parties except in compliance with a legal obligation to report any threatening, harassing, and other illegal content or activity to law enforcement and government agencies.  

Data Retention
Personal Data is only retained where necessary to comply with our legal obligation.
