What we collect on this website

This site has no accounts. When you visit, our hosting provider processes technical data (IP address, browser, time of request) to deliver the page and keep it secure. This is necessary to run the site (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is not used to identify you.

Newsletter

If you sign up for the CSM Council Newsletter, we process your email address (and first name, if you give it) to send you the newsletter, based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You confirm your sign-up by email, and every email has an unsubscribe link. We keep your data until you unsubscribe. The newsletter is sent with Kit (ConvertKit LLC, USA).

Visitor statistics

We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data: page views are counted in aggregate, and visitors are told apart only by a short-lived hash that is reset every day. This helps us understand which pages are useful (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Cookies and tracking

We only use analytics or advertising tools if you click "Accept" in the cookie banner (consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). If you reject or close the banner, none are loaded. You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. Details are in our Cookie Policy.
