Although GA records data such as your geographic location, your device, your web browser, and your operating system, none of this information identify you to us.

Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (also known as SSL), meaning that email content is encrypted before being sent over the Internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.

Your e-mail address will not be stored in any of our databases. Your e-mail address will remain in the MailChimp database for as long as we continue to use our e-mail marketing services or until you explicitly request to be removed from the mailing list. You can do, using the delete link contained in all the email newsletters we send you. As long as your e-mail address remains in the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic e-mail newsletters from us.
