Information we collect
 We collect only what we need to operate and improve the site.
Directly provided data: contact form details (name, email, message), media inquiries, review submissions, and preferences you choose to save.
Automatically collected data: standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, user agent), basic analytics such as pages viewed and approximate region derived from IP, and essential cookies required to keep sessions secure.
Optional data: if you consent, we may set analytics or performance cookies that help us understand readership and fix issues.
 We do not request sensitive categories of data. If you send such information unprompted, it will be deleted where feasible.
Purposes and legal bases
 We process personal data for:
Running the site and delivering content (legitimate interests: ensuring a secure, functional service).
Responding to messages and inquiries (contractual necessity or legitimate interests, depending on context).
Editorial workflows such as code or review submissions (contractual necessity/legitimate interests).
Analytics and performance to diagnose errors and improve articles (consent for non-essential cookies; legitimate interests for aggregated, low-intrusion metrics).
Legal compliance and security including fraud prevention, abuse handling, and fulfilling statutory requests (legal obligation/legitimate interests).
Retention
 We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose collected:
Contact form threads and press correspondence: typically up to 24 months after last interaction.
Server logs: up to 12 months, unless required longer for security or legal reasons.
Editorial submissions: retained while the related content remains published and for a reasonable archive period.
Cookie lifetimes: shown in our Cookie Policy; non-essential cookies expire per their stated duration or when you withdraw consent.
 When retention ends, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized.
Sharing and international transfers
 We do not sell personal data. We may share it with:
Service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics) bound by contracts to process data only on our instructions.
Authorities or legal counsel where the law requires or to protect rights and safety.
 Some providers may be located outside the EU/EEA. Where transfers occur, we use recognized safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, additional technical measures).
Your rights
 Under the GDPR, you may request: access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection (including to certain profiling or processing based on legitimate interests), and data portability. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting previous lawful processing. We will respond within one month, subject to extensions permitted by law for complex requests.
 If you are based in France, you also have the right to set instructions for the fate of your data after death and to lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority (CNIL). We encourage contacting us first so we can try to resolve any issue quickly.
Children’s information, changes, and contact
 Our content is aimed at a general audience and not directed to children under the age of digital consent in France (15). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age without verifiable consent from a holder of parental responsibility. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will act promptly.
 We may update this Policy to reflect changes in features or law; the “Last updated” date will change, and material updates will be signposted on-site.
