On Le Ptit Curieux, we tell the story of our travels: we don’t need to know much about you. This page explains, simply, what data is collected when you read the blog, why, how long it’s kept and how to exercise your rights.
Who is responsible for your data?
The data controller is Bastien Rouire, sole trader (EI), trade name Leptitcurieux, 6 impasse du Pré de Manon, 84700 Sorgues, France (SIREN 842 784 464).
For any question about your data: contact@leptitcurieux.fr.
The site is hosted by OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France. The data is therefore stored in the European Union.
What data is collected, and why?
When you write to us
If you contact us by email or through the contact form, we receive your name, your email address and your message. They are used only to reply to you (partnership proposal, question about a trip…). Legal basis: our legitimate interest in replying to the messages we receive. Retention: 3 years after our last exchange.
Audience measurement
We use Google Analytics to know which articles are read, for how long and on what type of device. These statistics help us improve the blog. The data is aggregated and isn’t used to identify you personally. These cookies are only set with your consent, given in the cookie banner. Retention: 14 months maximum.
Advertising
Some pages display Google AdSense ads. With your consent, Google may use cookies to show ads tailored to your interests. Without consent, the ads remain non-personalized. To learn more: how Google uses advertising cookies.
Partner links and booking widgets
Some links are affiliate links (for example Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Discover Cars, Holafly or Amazon): if you book or buy through such a link, we earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. When you click, the partner may set a cookie to know that you came from us. Some pages also display maps or booking widgets (Stay22, GetYourGuide). This data is processed by each partner according to its own privacy policy. We receive no personal information about you: only the commission amount.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we record the name, email address and message you enter, as well as your IP address to fight spam. Your name and message are published; your email never is. Comments are kept as long as the article is online, and you can ask for them to be deleted at any time.
Article ratings
When you rate an article with the stars, a technical fingerprint of your connection is recorded to prevent duplicate votes. It isn’t used for anything else.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file saved by your browser. On this site, there are three kinds:
- Essential: they make the site work and remember your cookie choice. They don’t require consent.
- Audience measurement (Google Analytics): only with your consent.
- Advertising and partners (Google AdSense, affiliate links, widgets): only with your consent, except the cookie that lets the partner know you came from us when you click a link.
You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of each page, or by deleting cookies in your browser settings. Your choice is kept for 6 months maximum.
Who is your data shared with?
We never sell or rent your data. It is only passed on to the services mentioned on this page (host, Google, partners), for the service described. Some of these services, such as Google, may process data outside the European Union. These transfers are covered by the safeguards provided by the GDPR (standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework).
Your rights
In accordance with the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés), you can at any time access your data, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, restrict its use or retrieve it. To do so, write to us at contact@leptitcurieux.fr. We will reply within one month.
If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can file a complaint with the CNIL (the French data protection authority): www.cnil.fr/fr/plaintes.
