Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains which personal data is processed when you use thierrygustin.com, including from the United States, why, and how to exercise your rights. The site is run from Spain, so it applies the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD) to every visitor, wherever they live.

Data controller

Thierry Gustin, sole proprietor established in Madrid, Spain (full contact details in the legal notice). Contact: thierry.gustin@gmail.com.

Data collected

The data you enter in the contact form (name, email, message), along with the sending IP address, stored with the message to prevent abuse.
The data you send me by email, by WhatsApp or when booking a call on TidyCal.
To limit abusive submissions, a non-reversible fingerprint of the originating network is kept for 24 hours at most, never the address itself.
No browsing data is collected for analytics or advertising.

Purposes and legal bases

Responding to your request and, if you wish, preparing a quote: taking pre-contractual steps at your request (Article 6.1.b of the GDPR).
Protecting the form against abuse and responding to messages received: legitimate interest (Article 6.1.f of the GDPR).

Recipients

Your data is not sold or shared. It is processed by my technical providers, each for its own part: o2switch SAS (hosting of the website and messages), Google (Gmail email), TidyCal (call bookings) and WhatsApp (if you contact me through that channel).

Transfers outside the European Union

Some providers (Google, TidyCal, WhatsApp) may process data outside the European Union, including in the United States. Transfers are then covered by appropriate safeguards: an adequacy decision, including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, or European Commission standard contractual clauses.

Retention period

Exchanges are kept for 3 years from the last contact, then deleted. The anti-abuse fingerprint is erased no later than 24 hours after the last submission.

Your rights

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, which you can exercise by writing to thierry.gustin@gmail.com. These rights apply to everyone, wherever you live: California residents, like all other US visitors, can request access to or deletion of their data by sending a simple email to the same address. You may also file a complaint with the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD, www.aepd.es) or the authority in your country, such as the CNIL in France (www.cnil.fr).
