Last Updated: 07-September-2025

Who We Are
Our website address is: https://papillonlouage.com.

1. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized hash created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available from Gravatar) is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms
We retain any information you submit through our contact forms for customer service purposes. We do not use the information submitted through contact forms for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Cookies
To enhance your experience on our site, we use cookies:

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes your login cookies.
  • Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used before coming to our site.

We use the data from Google Analytics only to improve our website and services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, not your name or other identifying information.

We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies on your browser or by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. This service uses cookies and other technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website and other sites on the Internet.

  • Third-Party Vendors: Google uses advertising cookies to enable it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Opt-Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Non-personalized ads may still be shown to you based on contextual information, such as the content of our website.

2. Who We Share Your Data With
We may share your data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. This includes:

  • Service Providers: Such as our hosting provider, email service provider, and analytics provider (Google Analytics).
  • Advertising Partners: We share data with Google AdSense to serve relevant ads. For more information, please see the “Advertising” section above.
  • Legal Requirements: We will disclose your data where required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

3. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Profiles: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
  • Contact Form Entries: Contact form submissions are retained for customer service purposes for a period of [e.g., one year] but are not used for marketing purposes.

4. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we correct or erase any personal data we hold about you.

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

5. Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. User data is processed by our trusted third-party service providers (listed in Section 2) primarily within the United States and the European Economic Area (EEA).

We ensure all data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

6. Your Consent
By using our website, you consent to our privacy policy.
