Privacy and
data protection.
What we collect, what we do with it, and the rights you keep over your information. Written in plain language. Required by the GDPR — but also, simply, the right thing to do.
Three small things.
From the contact form. When you write to us through the contact form, we collect the name, email and message you provide. Nothing more.
From email correspondence. If you write to us directly at contact@pourlajoie.fr, we keep your message and reply for as long as the conversation is useful.
From letters published under articles. When an editor decides to publish a reader's words, we display the name you signed and the content of your message. Your email address is never published.
No tracking. No analytics.
We do not run any analytics — no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no anything. We do not embed third-party scripts. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising or fingerprinting.
The only cookie this site sets is a session token used by the editorial team to sign in to the admin area — set when an editor logs in, cleared when they log out.
Legal basis.
We process your data on the basis of your consent (when you choose to write to us) and our legitimate interest in running the association and responding to those who reach out.
In France, on our own server.
All data we hold sits on a server in France, hosted by OVH SAS. It does not leave the European Union. We do not share it with third parties — ever — for any commercial purpose.
As long as it is useful.
Contact form messages and email correspondence are kept while they remain useful, then archived for up to three years before deletion. Published letters under articles are kept while the article is published.
You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
Under the GDPR.
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, write to us at contact@pourlajoie.fr with a clear request. We will respond within one month.
If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can also file a complaint with the French data protection authority, CNIL.
Changes to this notice.
This notice may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. Material changes will be noted here and dated.
