What we collect, and why

Visit statistics. We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics service, to count visits and understand which pages are read. It records the page visited, the website you came from, your country, and your browser, device type, screen size and language. It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address and does not follow you across other websites. The statistics are anonymous and we use them only to understand how many people the project reaches and to report on it. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of a publicly funded project.

Contact form. If you write to us through the contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you enter. We use them only to answer you. Our legal basis is that you have asked us to get in touch with you. Please do not send sensitive personal information through the form.

Cookies

Who else handles the data

  • Umami (Umami Software, Inc.) processes the anonymous visit statistics for us.

  • We may share a message with other project partners only where this is needed to answer it. We do not sell personal data.

How long we keep it

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your request and any follow-up. Visit statistics are anonymous and contain no personal data.
