Recipients

The data is accessible only to the site publisher and, where applicable, to the technical providers strictly necessary for its operation: hosting, audience measurement and message delivery. Those providers act only on instruction and solely for the purposes described above.

Transfers outside the European Union

Hosting is provided by a supplier established in the United States. Transfers of data to that country are covered by the mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Retention periods

  • Browsing data and audience statistics: 13 months maximum
  • Technical server logs: 12 months maximum
  • Messages received and associated addresses: 3 years from the last exchange

At the end of those periods, the data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

Security

The publisher implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of the data: delivery of the site over HTTPS, restricted and protected access to administration tools, and a limited number of authorised persons.

Cookies and trackers

The site uses technical cookies necessary for its display and security. These do not require consent.

Audience measurement trackers may also be set in order to understand traffic to the site. Where they are not configured in strictly anonymous mode, they are set subject to your consent, obtained on your first visit and revocable at any time.

No advertising cookies and no profiling trackers for targeting purposes are set.

You may at any time configure your browser to refuse cookies, delete them or be notified when they are set. This setting is found in the privacy preferences of each browser. Refusing technical cookies may impair some features of the site.
