Privacy

What we process, and why

• Server logs. When you visit, our hosting provider (GoDaddy) and the content delivery network it uses for this site (Cloudflare, a separate company) record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time. This is needed to deliver the site and keep it secure.
• A security cookie from Cloudflare. Cloudflare sets a cookie named __cf_bm to distinguish people from automated bots. It expires after 30 minutes without activity and is not used for advertising.
• Measurement scripts added by our host. GoDaddy adds two scripts to the site, loaded from img1.wsimg.com, that measure how the site performs and is used. They set cookies named _tccl_visitor, _tccl_visit and _scc_session.
• Emails you send us. If you write to us, we keep your message and address to reply and, for corrections, to keep a record of what was changed and why. Our email provider is Hushmail.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure site and answering the people who write to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not sell personal data or use it for marketing.

GoDaddy and Cloudflare are US companies and may process this data outside the European Economic Area. GoDaddy states in its global privacy notice that it is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. That notice covers data it handles as controller. Cloudflare’s data processing terms recognise transfers under the same framework. We have not yet confirmed which safeguards apply to transfers of this site’s personal data to the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area. You can ask us for details.

Your rights

You can ask us for access to your personal data, for its correction or deletion, or to restrict how we use it, and you can object to how we use it, by writing to the address above. You can also complain to the Information and Data Protection Commissioner in Malta.
