Our expertise

Privacy Policy

Médianes places great importance on protecting your personal data. This page describes, as concretely as possible, the data this website collects, why, how long it is retained, and how to exercise your rights. It applies to the medianes.org website. Data controller: Médianes SAS, 118 avenue Gambetta, 75020 Paris, registered with the Paris RCS (888 306 818). Data Protection Officer: Baptiste Thevelein, [email protected].

What this site doesn't do

This site does not use any audience measurement tools, advertising cookies, or third-party trackers. The login screen that protects certain content is developed by Médianes: it does not use any external services, does not set any cookies, and does not track your browsing activity. That is why you do not see a consent banner: the only cookies set are those strictly necessary for the site to function.

Member account

If you create an account, we collect your email address, first name, and if you provide them, your last name and company name. Your password is stored in hashed form: no one, not even us, can read it. This data is used solely to operate your member account and give you access to restricted content. It is retained as long as your account exists. You can view and modify it at any time from your "My account" section, and request account deletion by writing to the Data Protection Officer.

Newsletters

Signing up for our newsletters (Coulisses, Stratégie, Les 10 liens) is based on your email address, which is transmitted to our sending provider Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, a French company, with data hosted in the European Union). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email, or from your "My account" area if you are a member. Your address is never shared or sold.

Forms

The information you enter in our forms (contact, job applications, freelance proposals) is sent to us so we can respond to you, and is used for no other purpose. It is stored on our site and deleted when it is no longer needed to process your request.

Internal search

Search terms entered in the site's search engine are logged to help us understand what you're looking for — without your IP address and without any connection to your account, including if you're logged in. This log is automatically purged after 180 days.

Cookies

The only cookies placed by this site are those from WordPress, strictly necessary for member login (maintaining your session) and form security. They are exempt from consent under CNIL guidelines. If you do not create an account, browsing places no persistent cookies.

Third-party services

The website is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA (Geneva, Switzerland—a country recognized as adequate by the European Commission). Fonts are served by Adobe Fonts: your browser transmits your IP address to Adobe when loading fonts, a transfer governed by standard contractual clauses. The English translation of the site is generated on the server side (Weglot, a French company): your browser does not transmit any browsing data to it.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to, restrict, and port your data. To exercise these rights, write to [email protected] — we will respond within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Update of this policy

This page reflects the site's actual operation and will be updated whenever processing changes. Last updated: August 2026.
