3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

We process your personal data under the following legal bases:

4. Google Analytics

Our Website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics places cookies on your device to help us analyse how users interact with the Website.

The data collected includes pages viewed, session duration, approximate geographic location (country/city level), device type, and referral source. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual users or combine analytics data with other personal data.

Google may transfer data to servers in the United States. Google LLC relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as a transfer mechanism under GDPR Chapter V.

You can opt out of Google Analytics at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For full details, see Google's Privacy Policy.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers (including Google) are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914).

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
