Technical Identification

The “IP Address” of a website visitor is considered personal data. Tracking software such as Google Analytics does not make the IP address available. Statcounter displays the IP address but not in a way that can identify the person behind the IP address.

For the website security software to function and block suspicious access, the IP address is used. The only IP addresses accessible are those blocked by the system for exceeding limits of access considered to be potential security risks. The person behind the IP address cannot be identified.

Sharing

We do not share data collected on or via our website with others, it is used purely for business operational purposes.

Third party companies are used for website maintenance and monitoring purposes, and may collect indirect user information. Please see our Cookies Policy page
