Use of the personal data collected

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, not only the data entered in the comment form, but also your IP address and your browser’s user agent are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.

An anonymous string created from your e-mail address (also called hash) can be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using the service. The Gravatar Service Privacy Policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After validating your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

Média

If you upload images to the site, we advise you to avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS coordinate data. Visitors to your site can download and extract location data from these images.

Contact forms

The information collected when submitting a contact form is used solely to better respond to your requests. This information is only transmitted by email to the site manager and is not stored in a database.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be asked to save your name, e-mail address and site in cookies. This is only for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information if you make another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you go to the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any 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 screen preferences. The lifetime of a login cookie is two days, that of a screen option cookie is one year. If you check “Remember me”, your cookie will be stored for a fortnight. If you log out of your account, the cookie will be deleted.

When you edit or post a publication, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data. It simply indicates the ID of the publication you have just modified. It expires after one day.

How long do you store your data for?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This makes it possible to automatically recognize and approve subsequent comments instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.

For accounts that register on our site (where applicable), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All accounts can view, modify or delete their personal information at any time (except their login). Site operators can also view and modify this information.

The rights you have over your data

If you have an account or if you have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided us with. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Transmission of your personal data

Visitors’ comments can be checked using an automated service to detect unwanted comments.

How we protect your data

This site uses the HTTPS secure hypertext transfer protocol.

We collect information about visitors who comment on sites using Akismet, our anti-spam service. This collected information depends on the Akismet settings made by the user on the site, and generally includes the IP address of the commenters, the user agent, the referrer and the URL of the site (as well as other information provided directly by the commenter such as their name, username, e-mail address and comment).

Procedures in the event of data leakage

In the event of data leakage, all persons present in our files will be immediately notified by e-mail.

We will inform any person or company concerned of this leakage and the nature of the information that could have been the subject of the leakage so that our users can take all necessary measures. We will take immediate technical measures to stop this leakage (change of password, monitoring of connection with the host, analysis of any malicious files that may have been deposited on our website…).

Third party services that transmit data to us

The Google Analytics service provides us with a number of data about visitors to our website. This data is stored by Google for 26 months.
