With regard to the discussion on the use of analytics tools with full IP addresses, we would inform you that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymize”, so IP addresses can only be processed in abbreviated form in order to prevent them being directly linked to an individual.

Security measures

INSPIRED takes appropriate technical and organisational steps to ensure that your personal data is protected from loss and misuse. Your data is stored in a secure operating environment that is not publicly accessible. In certain cases, your personal data may be encrypted during transfer using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means that communication between your computer and INSPIRED’s servers occurs using a recognised encryption process in a secure, updated version. If your browser supports SSL, this function will protect the transfer of personal data. In this case most browsers display a small dialogue box or icon to tell you whether the security protocol is supported. For more information, please consult the Help function in your browser. If you wish to contact INSPIRED by e-mail, please note that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information transmitted. Like a postcard, the content of e-mails can be viewed by third parties. Therefore, we recommend only sending confidential information by post.
