Privacy and data protection

Processing of personal data

Personal data may only be collected and processed in accordance with the rules of data protection legislation.
In certain cases, specifically when the user fills out and submits a form on the website, it is possible that certain personal data may be stored on the server. This information is considered confidential and treated accordingly. It will therefore never be sold or passed on to third parties without the user’s prior consent.
If the website has a newsletter, the user can subscribe to it in order to receive regular information by email. In this case, the publisher requires a valid email address, which the user subscribing provides via the corresponding form. The user confirms that they are the owner of the email address provided and gives their consent to receive emails from the website or the publisher. The user has the right to unsubscribe at any time.
The user has the right to view their personal data in order to verify its accuracy and, if necessary, request its correction. To do so, they must send a registered letter to the website publisher, whose contact details are provided above.

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 so that we can detect unwanted 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 the service. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found at: 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 upload photos to the website, we recommend that you avoid uploading photos with EXIF GPS coordinates. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these photos.

Contact forms

When you send a message to our website, the data entered in the contact form is collected so that we can respond to your enquiry. You will be asked to provide your name, email address and telephone number. We will only use this data for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and will treat your data confidentially in accordance with our privacy policy.

Website’s content

Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were visiting that other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and track your interactions with such embedded content if you have an account logged in to their website.

Usage of cookies

This website uses cookies.
Like most websites, this website also uses cookies. Cookies are small, harmless text files that have no impact on your privacy or the security of your computer.
Cookies improve the user experience on the website and allow the publisher to compile anonymous visitor statistics for the website.
Please refer to your web browser’s instructions for information on how to disable or delete cookies on your computer.
The publisher informs users that cookies are used to improve the user experience on the website, to improve performance and to compile visitor statistics.
As the website cannot function without the use of cookies, we ask anyone who does not agree to the use of cookies to immediately end their browser session on the website.

We give you the option to disable cookies placed by the website and/or third-party services.

Usage of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information collected through the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymisation on this website, the IP address is truncated before being transferred to member states of the European Union or the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only sent to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases, where it is then truncated.
The anonymised IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics service is not cross-referenced with other data held by Google. Cookie-Verwaltung

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing cookie-generated data relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=fr

Instead of installing the plugin, you can click on this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data when you visit this website in future. An opt-out cookie will be set on your device for this purpose. If you delete cookies, you will need to click on this link again.

Secure data transfer

Your personal data is transmitted in encrypted form. This also applies to your order and your customer connection. For this purpose, we use the TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption system.

In addition, we use technical and organisational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.

Use of private user data

Storage period for your personal data

If you leave a comment (if possible), the comment and associated metadata will be stored indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be automatically recognised and approved, rather than being held in the moderator queue.

If you contact us via a contact form, this metadata will be stored privately and securely for an indefinite period. Your message will be sent to our mailbox, which only employees have access to.

For users who register on our website (where possible), we also store the personal data provided in their profile. All users can view, change or delete their personal data (with the exception of their user name) at any time. The website administrators also have access to this information and can change it.

Your rights regarding your data

If you have created an account or left comments on the website, you can request a file containing all the personal information we hold about you, including the information you have provided to us. You can also request that your personal data be deleted. Data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes will not be taken into account.

Sharing your personal data

Visitor comments can be verified via an automatic spam comment detection service.
