3. How data is used and legal bases

Account management and the provision of requested services are based on the performance of the contractual relationship with the member. Site security, abuse prevention, moderation and the handling of contact requests are based on the association’s legitimate interests, while respecting individuals’ rights.

6. Your rights

Depending on the processing and the conditions set by applicable regulations, you may request access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, object to certain processing, and request data portability.

To exercise your rights, use the contact form. We may ask for information to verify your identity if necessary. You may also submit a complaint to the CNIL.

7. Cookies and advertising

The site uses an internal login cookie to maintain your session and let you use your member area.

Google ads are shown to visitors and members without an active subscription. When ads are displayed, Google may use advertising cookies.

Signed-in members with an active subscription, as well as administrators, browse without ads and without loading the Google advertising module.

The sign-up, login and password-recovery pages are also free of advertising, regardless of the visitor’s status.

Advertising cookies that may have been placed during a previous visit can remain in your browser until they expire or are deleted.

Trackers strictly necessary for the service may be used without prior consent. Other trackers must be assessed according to their purpose and, where required, require prior consent that also allows you to refuse or withdraw your choice.

To be completed before publication

8. Security and confidentiality

Protecting data requires appropriate measures, including access restrictions and site maintenance. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Never send your password in a message or through the contact form.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy is updated when the site’s practices change. Changes that require members to be specifically informed are communicated by an appropriate means.
