Log files

Log files allow us to record the usage of the site. They contain no personal information, nor information about which other sites you have visited. They allow us to improve the service by knowing its usage, and are processed anonymously.

 

How long do we keep your data?

We keep your data as long as you are subscribed. We only destroy the information from our website members list and excel sheet lists one month after you unsubscribe, in order to be able to restore it in case a mistake has been made. However, your data which is stored on our mailing service platform (MailChimp) stays there but is stored safely. You can read their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The same practice applies to WIX where we host our website. Read their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
 

Who can access your data?

Only the persons in charge of website mailing service maintenance have access to your data for the purpose of sending you the requested information. Exceptionally, other people may have temporary access in order to go through with a project we are preparing for you. They are bound to AFA Studio and have the same commitment towards the Data Protection Directive as the company.
Our system administrators have access to the data for the purpose of keeping the service running. They are submitted to the same legal obligations and must identify themselves (login/password) for these operations.
 

Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

• Google Analytics

• Visitor Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Visitor Analytics is a simple website analytics service which measures the traffic and visitors' general details of the customers' websites. Collecting these statistics, a website can make their visitors' experience better (e.g. which pages they visit and when, where they are approximately located, where a user lands first or if they are coming from a specific referral).
Basically, as a website owner using Visitor Analytics, we are using cookies to collect data about visitors' device type and screen size, approximate location, browser, OS, IPs, page visits, bounce rate, conversions and popular content on the website. All this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics will never use the collected data to identify individual users or to match it with additional information on an individual user. Each visitor has control over the placement of the cookies. You can read more on https://www.visitor-analytics.io/privacy-policy/.
