privacy – YLovePhoto https://www.ylovephoto.com/en Intrigued by photography Mon, 10 Oct 2022 20:15:04 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Evolution to favor user privacy https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2022/10/10/evolution-to-favor-user-privacy/ Mon, 10 Oct 2022 20:15:03 +0000 https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/?p=12935 After the recent information updates from CNIL and other European privacy-supporting public agencies (in Austria, in Italy, etc.), it was becoming clear that the use of Google Analytics to track visitor statistics on our web site was non-compliant with parts of the requirements of GDPR (specifically but not only, because Google data is stored in the US and not in Europe as legally required).

So, we decided to change the web site (this is actually an underground and near-invisible activity, I have to admit) to remove Google Analytics and start using a solution fuly integrated into the web site itself (with possibly private data being stored exclusively in France). Now, we use the Matomo open-source solution.

In the coming weeks, the web pages mentionning the use of Google Analytics will also be manually updated to reflect this change.

There should be no impact on your daily navigation here. But, feel free to inform us if you observe some incident possibly related to this change.

]]> Protection of your privacy and of your data https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2018/04/04/protection-of-your-privacy-and-of-your-data/ Wed, 04 Apr 2018 16:22:11 +0000 https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/?p=12670 You may not have noticed it but European Regulations recently required some significant changes on web sites, in order to make sure that they are respectful of their visitors and -even more importantly- of the privacy of their data. Our web site has been adapting since a few weeks with a few nice changes, including:

  1. A Privacy Policy.
  2. When you submit a comment on the site, it is now explicit (through a checkbox) that you understand that this will imply our storing of some of your personal data, and that you consent to it.(« explicit » and « positive » consent).
  3. Creation of a Data Protection Officer (that’s me!) in charge of answering questions and requests of modificaiton and removal of your personal data if you ultimately want to revoke your consent.

the objective is to make more explicit and fully compliant, the choices that we already made to respect our visitors, and their privacy. Like we do since the beginning.
