What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Like most websites, the web server collects information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, operating system, visitor country, web requests made, referring website and the date and time of access.

Visitors detected as being a possible security threat (false positives can and do occur as it is automated) will be presented with a verification page to prove they are human, which contains an hCaptcha CAPTCHA form by Intuition Machines Inc and will connect to https://assets.hcaptcha.com - hCaptcha's privacy policy is located at https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy/.
