WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We collect information about you when you engage with our website or use our contact form. We only collect information which is necessary, relevant and adequate for the purpose you are providing it for.

We collect a series of general data and information when you or an automated system uses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. We may collect (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Phoenix Consulting Archaeology Limited does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Phoenix Consulting Archaeology Limited analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

If you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, your personal data is automatically stored. This data is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you back. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
