In short: this site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising. It collects your email address only if you give it to the list, uses it for the emails you asked for, and deletes it on request. Payments are handled by Polar.
1. Who is responsible
The controller of the personal data collected on starter.blouppy.com is Jimmy Boinembalome, entrepreneur individuel trading as Blouppy, 3 rue de Patay, 45000 Orléans, France — support@blouppy.com. There is no data protection officer; write to this address for any question about your data.
2. The email list
| What | Your email address, and the date you gave it. A hidden field catches spam robots and stays empty for people. |
|---|---|
| Why | Before launch: one email when Blouppy Starter goes on sale, with the launch price. After launch: an email when a new release is out. Nothing else, and never sold or shared for marketing. |
| Legal basis | Your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)), given by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time. |
| How it is collected | By Netlify Forms, a feature of the site's host, which stores the submissions and screens them for spam. |
| How it is sent | From our own mailbox at support@blouppy.com, to an export of the list, with every address in blind copy: no other recipient sees yours. No emailing service is used. The mailbox is described under Support messages. |
| How long | Until you unsubscribe, and at most 3 years after you signed up or last opened one of our emails, whichever is later. Then it is deleted. |
| Unsubscribe | Every email we send says how: reply “unsubscribe”, or write to support@blouppy.com. Your address is deleted, not just flagged. |
3. Purchases
Licences are sold by Polar Software, Inc. as reseller and merchant of record. Polar collects and processes the payment data (card, billing address, tax details) as an independent controller, under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details.
To deliver and support your licence, we receive from Polar, and from GitHub when you connect your account: your name or company name, email address, country, order details and GitHub username.
- Why: giving you access to the repository, keeping it in line with your licence, answering you, handling refunds.
- Legal basis: the contract you enter into by buying (art. 6(1)(b)); for accounting records, our legal obligations (art. 6(1)(c)).
- How long: as long as your licence is active, then 3 years for support history; accounting records are kept 10 years, as French law requires.
4. Support messages
When you write to support@blouppy.com or post in the repository's Issues and Discussions, we process your message and the contact details it contains to answer you (legitimate interest, art. 6(1)(f), or the contract if you are a customer). Emails are kept 3 years after the last exchange. Posts on the repository are visible to the other licensees who have access to it and stay there until you delete them, or ask us to. The address support@blouppy.com is a redirection run by OVHcloud, which forwards messages to a mailbox hosted by Google (Gmail); the emails to the list are sent from that same mailbox.
5. Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (see the Legal Notice). As with any website, Netlify's servers process technical data of each visit — IP address, browser, requested page, date — to deliver the pages and protect the service (legitimate interest, art. 6(1)(f)). We do not use these logs to follow anyone. Netlify keeps them for the period set in its own policy. [TO FILL: Netlify's log retention period, from Netlify's privacy policy]
6. Cookies and trackers
The site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It has no analytics, no advertising, no social media plugins and no tracking pixel. The fonts, images and scripts all come from the site itself: no request is made to a third party while you browse. Polar's checkout, once you leave this site for it, has its own cookie policy.
7. Who receives the data
- Jimmy Boinembalome (Blouppy), who alone has access to the list and the customer data.
- Netlify, Inc. — hosting and the form, as a processor.
- Polar Software, Inc. — payments, invoices, refunds, as an independent controller.
- GitHub, Inc. — the repository and its invitations, under its own terms.
- OVHcloud — the redirection of support@blouppy.com, as a processor.
- Google — Gmail, the mailbox behind support@blouppy.com and the one the list's emails are sent from, as a processor.
None of them may use your data for their own marketing on our behalf, and we sell no data.
8. Transfers outside the EU
Netlify, Polar, GitHub and Google are based in the United States, so your data may be processed there. These transfers rely on the safeguards these providers put in place: the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where they are certified, or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. [TO FILL: confirm the safeguard each provider uses]
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR and French law, you have the right to access your data, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, withdraw your consent at any time, and give instructions about what happens to your data after your death.
Write to support@blouppy.com. We answer within one month. We may ask you to prove who you are if there is a reasonable doubt.
If you think your rights are not respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France — www.cnil.fr), or with the authority of the EU country where you live.
10. Changes
We will update this policy when what we collect or how we use it changes, and change the date at the top. If a change affects how we use the address you gave us, we will tell you by email first.
