Google Analytics

The IM-SAFE website uses Google Analytics. We have taken safeguards to ensure that the right of visitors to the protection of their privacy does not prevail over our legitimate interest.

In addition, we have ‘data sharing’ disabled and we do not use other Google services in combination with the Google Analytics cookies.

We work hard to protect your personal data from unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure, use or destruction. That way, unauthorized persons do not have access to your data. We take the following measures to protect your personal data:

Secure network connections with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology or a technology that is similar to SSL.
