Our use of analytics tools

We will receive information about how you use our Sciensus Website using Google Analytics provided by Google Ireland Limited. (“Google”). We have implemented the following features:

• User properties: Attributes you define to describe segments of your user base, such as language preference or geographic location.

Your data could be processed at any of the Google Cloud Platform locations or Google data centre locations.

Data can only be stored for a maximum of 14 months from point of collection and your IP Address is fully anonymised automatically by Google and therefore cannot identify you as an individual.
