ASCEE uses Matomo for investigation of website traffic. We installed our own Matomo instance to be completely independent of third parties. Here is an overview of the data that is tracked using Matomo. We partly anonymize IP addresses by masking the last byte of the IPv4 address.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

ASCEE follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
