Privacy policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This is an English translation provided for convenience. Only the French version is legally binding.

This page explains what personal data is collected on this website, why, how long it is kept and how to exercise your rights. The website collects as little as possible.

Data controller

Valentin Debels, 4 rue des hortensias 76710 Eslettes. Contact: valentindebels@gmail.com.

Data collected

Contact form

  • Data: name, email address, project type (optional) and message.
  • Purpose: replying to your request and, where relevant, preparing a quote.
  • Legal basis: pre-contractual steps taken at your request and legitimate interest in replying to messages received (GDPR article 6.1.b and 6.1.f).
  • Retention period: 3 years from the last exchange, then automatic deletion.
  • Recipient: Valentin Debels only. Data is never sold, rented or shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

To prevent abuse, an encrypted, non-reversible fingerprint of your IP address is kept for 24 hours at most.

YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and Instagram videos

Videos are only loaded when you click the play button. Before that click, no data is sent to YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok or Instagram: the thumbnail you see is hosted on this website. Once the video starts, the platform’s own privacy policy applies.

Display preferences

If you change the display (light or dark mode, text size, contrast…), your choice is saved only in your browser (local storage). It is never sent to the website or to anyone else, and you can erase it with the “Reset display” button.

Hosting and security

The website and its data are hosted in France by OVH SAS (2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France). Connections are encrypted (HTTPS) and the administration area is password-protected.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data, and to set instructions regarding its use after your death. To exercise these rights, write to valentindebels@gmail.com. You will receive a reply within one month.

If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can file a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL): www.cnil.fr/en/complaints.
