The data processings which we conduct are there because either you have consented to it, or for our legitimate interests. You can find those reasons and legal bases hereunder.

2.1. When you make use of our website

We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of our website. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google Analytics to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

This data processing is based on your consent (article 6.1.a of the GDPR).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (see Your Rights hereunder).

To deliver our public interest campaign messages, we use advertisement tools provided by social media platforms.
