Depending on how you use the website, the following categories of data may be collected:

  • technical data related to website use, such as certain connection, browsing, download, page view, or technical environment information;
  • data necessary for website security, abuse detection, malicious activity prevention, and technical monitoring of the services provided.

The information collected is limited to what is necessary to process requests, manage the website, monitor software, and improve the services made available. The GDPR requires clear information about categories of data, purposes, legal basis, and retention periods.

4. Purposes of processing

Personal data collected through the website may be used for the following purposes:

  • responding to requests sent through the contact form;
  • receiving, analysing, and following up on bug reports, suggestions, or feedback;
  • ensuring website operation, security, and administration;
  • measuring website traffic and the use of certain pages or downloads in order to improve the website and software;
  • preventing, detecting, or limiting abusive, fraudulent, or malicious use.

Depending on the circumstances, data processing carried out through the website is based on:

  • your consent, where you voluntarily choose to submit information through a form;
  • the publisher’s legitimate interest, where processing is necessary to ensure website security, prevent abuse, manage website operation, monitor content usage, or improve the software offered;
  • compliance with legal obligations, where certain data must be retained or processed under applicable law.

The GDPR requires each processing activity to rely on an identified legal basis and to be communicated to the persons concerned.

6. Data recipients

Personal data collected through the website is intended for the website publisher and, where necessary for technical operation, for technical service providers acting on the publisher’s behalf, only to the extent strictly necessary.

Personal data is not sold or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.

7. Retention period

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations or the need to retain certain elements for evidentiary, security, or abuse-handling purposes.

As an indication:

  • data sent through the contact form is retained for the time needed to process the request, then deleted or archived where follow-up is necessary;
  • data related to bug reports may be kept for the time necessary to analyse, fix, monitor, and improve the relevant software;
  • technical or security-related data may be kept for a limited period necessary to ensure website security, analyse website operation, or prevent abuse.

9. Security

The publisher implements reasonable measures intended to preserve the security, integrity, and confidentiality of personal data processed through the website.

However, as no transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security, complete protection against all risks cannot be guaranteed.

10. Cookies, trackers, and statistics

The website may use technical audience measurement tools, traffic monitoring tools, or internal statistics in order to better understand how the website is used, which pages are consulted, and which software is downloaded.

Depending on their nature and configuration, such tools may be exempt from consent requirements or, on the contrary, may require specific information and, where applicable, prior consent under applicable regulations.

Where required, an information or consent management mechanism may be implemented. The CNIL explains that some audience measurement tools may benefit from an exemption under specific conditions, while others remain subject to prior consent.

11. External services

The website may rely on certain technical services necessary for hosting, operation, or administration.

If external services involving personal data processing are used, they are used only to the extent necessary for the proper functioning of the website and in compliance with applicable obligations.
