Use of the personal data collected

When you use our site, we may process the following data: your IP address, for a period of one month, to maintain the security of the site; anonymised usage data and technical data about your internet connection, your browser and your devices, for general audience measurement on the site; and functional cookies that are not subject to any specific processing on our part.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and your browser’s user agent, are collected to help us detect spam comments.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and you upload images to the website, we advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

Contact form

The contact form on this site does not store any data in a database and is used solely for exchanges related to providing the requested service.

We comply with the statutory retention period for your messages.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered the option of saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is solely for your convenience, so that you do not have to enter this information again if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set a number of cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you tick “Remember me”, your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the article you have just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited that other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

Use and sharing of your personal data

We use your data solely to provide the services requested. Your data will not be passed on to commercial or advertising parties.

How long we retain your data

Data is collected only for as long as necessary for the purposes pursued, in accordance with legal requirements.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes:

To request erasure, use the contact form on our website.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We pay close attention to IT security and have put in place a set of measures to address this issue:

We implement all technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of personal data processing and the confidentiality of personal data. We therefore take all appropriate precautions, having regard to the nature of the data and the risks presented by the processing, to preserve the security of the data and, in particular, to prevent it from being altered or damaged, or accessed by unauthorised third parties (protection of premises, firewall, securing of workstations: access via authentication procedures with confidential usernames and passwords, etc.).

Procedures in place in the event of a data breach

In the event of a data breach, we undertake to fulfil our obligations towards our users and the CNIL (the French data protection authority) within the statutory time limits.
