This Privacy Policy explains how TAJINE QUI BRILLE FRANCE (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects and uses your personal data when you visit this website, create a member account, or purchase a subscription. We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who We Are

TAJINE QUI BRILLE FRANCE is an Entreprise Individuelle (sole proprietorship) operated by Richele SANCHEZ, based in France. See our Legal Notice for more information.

We are the data controller for this website.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

  • Account: Your email address and your name when you create a free membership or paid subscriber account.
  • Newsletter (via MailerLite): Your email address and your name when you sign up to receive the newsletter.
  • Emails You Send Us: If you email us, we process your email address, name (if provided), and the content of your message to reply.
  • Payments (via Stripe): Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. Stripe collects payment information and may collect your billing address and tax details when required; related invoice data is visible to us in Stripe for accounting and tax compliance.
  • Basic Usage Data: Minimal operational data is needed to run member features (e.g. membership status, successful sign-in events, and access to member content). We do not use third-party analytics or tracking cookies.
  • Comments: Your display name, comment content, and timestamp. Comments are public on the page where posted.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To provide and administer free memberships and paid subscriptions, and deliver member-only content
  • To process payments, issue receipts/invoices, and handle subscription changes and support
  • To send the newsletter if you opt in (you can opt out at any time)
  • To respond to emails you send us
  • To maintain security, prevent abuse, and ensure site reliability

We process your data on the following bases:

  • Contract: to provide memberships and paid content
  • Consent: for the newsletter and certain communications
  • Legal obligation: for tax and accounting records (e.g. invoices)
  • Legitimate interests: site security, anti-abuse, and essential operational logs (balanced against your rights)

5. Payments & Billing

Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Stripe may collect your billing address and other information needed for billing and tax purposes. You can view invoices and manage payment details via the Stripe Customer Portal (linked from your account area).

6. Member Accounts

When you create a member account, you can edit your name, email, and subscription settings in the account area. You may also control certain comment-related email notifications there.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use only essential cookies required for basic site functionality (e.g. maintaining your logged-in session for member content). These essential cookies do not require prior consent under the GDPR.

We use Ghost’s first-party, cookie-free analytics for aggregated traffic stats; we don’t use third-party analytics or tracking cookies. If this changes in the future, we will implement a compliant cookie banner and update this Policy.

8. Comments

Comments are limited to logged-in members. When you post a comment, we process your display name and comment content and show it publicly on the page.

You can edit or delete your own comments; we may moderate or hide comments that breach our guidelines. We do not use third-party commenting platforms.

9. Data Sharing (Processors)

We share personal data only with service providers that help us run this site and only to the extent necessary:

  • Stripe – payment processing and invoicing
  • Email service providers (e.g. MailerLite) – newsletter delivery (if you opt in)
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers – to operate and secure the website

These providers may process data outside the EU. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data.

10. Data Retention

  • Member/account data: kept while your account is active, then deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period unless we need to keep it longer to comply with the law or resolve disputes.
  • Emails you send us: kept as long as needed to handle your request and for routine business record-keeping.
  • Billing and tax records (e.g. invoices): retained as required by law.

11. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you can:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your data (where applicable)
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter)

How to Exercise Your Rights

Email contact@tajinequiparle.com from the address associated with your account and tell us what you’d like to do (access, correction, deletion, etc.). We aim to respond within 30 days.

Please note: we may retain certain information where we are legally required to do so (e.g. invoices and tax records).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (France’s data protection authority) at www.cnil.fr.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to safeguard the information we process.

13. Children

This site is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
