We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and where they come from.

Google Analytics collects information such as:

• Number of visitors
• Session duration
• Pages per session
• Bounce rate

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not combine it with personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We retain automatically collected data (such as analytics data) only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law.

Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted from Google's servers. We do not store any personal data on our own servers beyond what is collected through cookies and analytics tools.

8 Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to ensure a secure connection between your browser and our server.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
