Your personal information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to third parties, without your consent, other than what is necessary for the operation of the website and the newsletter.

Contact forms and comments

When a message is posted using a contact or comment form, not only the data entered in the fields of these forms, but also the IP address and browser type are collected to help detect unwanted messages and comments. In the case of comments, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called hash) can be sent to the Gravatar service in order to make the profile picture you have chosen to appear publicly next to your comment. The Gravatar service’s confidentiality policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/

Audience statistics and measurements

Website: This website uses the measurement tool Piwik PRO. This service uses cookies to generate reports on visitor interactions (or “users”) on the pages of this website. This service also collects IP addresses to ensure the security of the service and to indicate the region (country or city) from which users are coming. This process is called “IP geolocation”. IP addresses are anonymized and cannot be accessed by ASTF. Piwik PRO does not cross-reference IP addresses with any other data held by the company.

Piwik PRO respects the privacy of visitors and is committed to protecting their personal data. The data collected is stored on secure servers located in the European Union and is not transmitted to third parties.

You can choose to refuse cookies and the analysis of your browsing data by disabling tracking in your browser or by using the opt-out option offered by Piwik PRO. For more information please visit the following website : https://help.piwik.pro/support/privacy/

This service also collects IP addresses for geolocalization purposes. All the information is available at this address: https://mailchimp.com/legal/
