If we combine Personal Data with non-Personal Data, the combined data will be treated as Personal Data. Further Personal Data will only be stored and processed if you voluntarily provide it to us, e.g. through a contact form.

Tracking Technologies

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of the Service.

Those allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device and your online behavior on our platform, in order to enhance your navigation in our Service, improve our Website’s performance, perform analytics and customize your experience on it. In addition, we may merge information we have with information collected through these tracking technologies with information we may obtain from other sources and, as a result, such information may become Personal Data.
