Principle of data anonymization

Certain technical and software-related data concerning the User, which cannot be used to identify them, is collected during their visit to the public website.

This collection is solely intended to generate traffic statistics (browser type, resolution, approximate location, etc.) in order to best serve users.

Collection of IP address

The User’s full IP address is never stored; only part of the IP address—so that it is impossible to identify a User—is retained to obtain global statistics.

Storage and hosting

The collected data is stored and hosted in Europe within a solution provided by a specialized subcontractor.
