Privacy
This notice explains how personal data is handled when you visit this website or contact atelier français.
Controller and contact
Philippe Gruca, trading as atelier français, is the controller for the processing described here. For questions or requests about your data, email contact@atelierfrancais.eu.
Contacting us
The contact link opens your email application. When you write to us, we receive your email address, any contact details you provide and the content of your message. We use this information to reply, prepare a proposal and, where relevant, arrange our services. Providing it is voluntary; without a way to contact you, we cannot reply. Processing is based on steps you request before entering into a contract or on performance of a contract. Other inquiries are handled on the basis of our legitimate interest in managing professional correspondence.
Browsing and security
The presentation pages contain no forms, customer accounts, comments or advertising tools. Images and fonts are hosted with the website. Technical data, including IP addresses, requests, access times and browser information, may be processed by the hosting and security services to operate the website, prevent abuse and investigate incidents. This is based on our legitimate interest in protecting the service. Technical cookies may be used for security and administrator authentication.
Audience measurement
We use Burst Statistics, hosted with this website, to understand page views, referring websites, device types, engagement and clicks opening the contact email template. A contact click does not tell us whether an email was actually sent. The selected mode sets no analytics cookie and uses no persistent fingerprint: it relies on a technical identifier renewed daily. Statistics stay in this website's database; optional usage-data sharing with the software provider is disabled. We respect Do Not Track requests and exclude logged-in administrators. This measurement is used only to understand and improve the website, without personalized advertising or cross-site tracking. For questions or to object, contact us at the address above.
Recipients and service providers
Data is accessible to Philippe Gruca and, as necessary, to hosting, email, maintenance and security providers. The website uses Wordfence, provided by Defiant Inc. in the United States. Some security functions may involve exchanging data with this provider; its data protection documentation describes processing and the contractual safeguards it offers. You may contact us for details of recipients and safeguards applicable to your data, including transfers outside the European Economic Area.
Retention
Correspondence is retained while we handle your inquiry and maintain the resulting relationship. Information needed to provide services, keep accounting records or defend legal rights may be retained for the periods required by applicable legal obligations and limitation periods. Technical logs are retained only as needed to operate and secure the website and resolve incidents, subject to legal requirements.
Your rights
Under the conditions set out in the GDPR, you may request access, correction, erasure or restriction of processing, as well as data portability where applicable. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. Email contact@atelierfrancais.eu with your request. We will respond within the GDPR time limit, normally one month. You may also complain to the French supervisory authority, the CNIL, or to the supervisory authority in your country.
