What personal information we collect through this website, why we collect it, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and the rights you can exercise over it.
Version 2.0 · Last updated: 1 August 2026 · Effective: 1 August 2026
1. Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled in connection with the website consulatalgerie-nanterre.org (the "Website"), which presents the Consulat Nanterre poker table and chip atelier. The Website is owned and operated by, and personal information is controlled by:

Where this policy uses the terms "controller", "personal information" or "personal data", they carry the meaning given in the applicable data protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and applicable United States state privacy laws.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to:
- your use of any page served from consulatalgerie-nanterre.org;
- information you submit through the consultation form on the home page or the enquiry form on the contact page;
- email correspondence you send to any address at the consulatalgerie-nanterre.org domain;
- records we keep about a commission that follows from your enquiry.
It does not apply to third-party websites we link to, or to information you choose to publish elsewhere. It should be read together with our Cookie Policy, Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service.
3. Information we collect
3.1 Information you give us
- Identity details — the name you enter in a form or sign an email with.
- Contact details — your email address. We do not ask for, and do not want, a telephone number.
- Location context — the city and country you enter, used to judge climate, humidity and transport for a possible commission.
- Enquiry content — the enquiry type you select, any preferred timber species, and the free-text project notes you write.
- Material you attach by email — photographs of a room, sketches, dimensions, plans or artwork for a chip design.
- Consent record — the fact that you ticked the consent box on a form, and the date and time it was submitted.
- Correspondence — the messages exchanged with us, and notes we make in the project file about decisions reached.
3.2 Information collected automatically
- IP address and the approximate region derived from it;
- browser type and version, operating system, device category and screen size;
- the pages requested, the date and time of each request, and the referring page;
- technical error records generated when a page fails to load correctly.
3.3 Information we never ask for
We do not request banking credentials, identity documents, government identifiers, health information, biometric data, or information about political opinions, religion, trade union membership, sexual orientation or criminal records. If you send such information unprompted, we delete it and ask you not to send it again. No page on this Website will ever ask you to enter banking credentials.
4. Categories at a glance
| Category | Examples | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email address | You | Answering your enquiry |
| Geographic context | City, country | You | Climate, transport and species suitability |
| Commercial context | Enquiry type, preferred species, project notes | You | Preparing a proposal and a project file |

5. How we use information
- To answer enquiries. The principal purpose, and for most visitors the only one.
- To prepare a proposal. Sketches, species shortlists, dimensional studies and indicative schedules.
- To carry out a commission. Managing the project file, sending weekly progress notes with photographs, arranging timber selection sessions and coordinating delivery or installation.
- To provide aftercare. Keeping the record card of a table so re-felting, rail re-wrapping or refinishing can be arranged years later.
- To keep the Website secure. Detecting automated abuse, spam submissions, intrusion attempts and technical faults.
- To keep our own records. Retaining correspondence that documents what was agreed.
- To comply with law. Where retention, disclosure or reporting is legally required.
6. Legal bases for processing
| Activity | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Responding to a form submission | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) and steps prior to a contract at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Preparing and delivering a commission | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Aftercare records for delivered work | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — honouring a lifetime care commitment |
| Website security and abuse prevention | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Keeping records of correspondence | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — establishing what was agreed |
| Statutory retention and disclosure | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have considered whether those interests are overridden by your rights and freedoms, and concluded that the processing is limited, expected and low-risk. You may object to it at any time using the contact details in section 19.
7. Consent and withdrawal
Each form requires you to tick a consent box before it can be submitted. Consent is optional, specific and freely given: you can read every page of this Website without providing anything, and there is no penalty for declining. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to [email protected]. Withdrawal stops further processing based on that consent but does not affect processing already carried out, nor records we must keep for a commission already under way or for legal reasons.
8. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:
| Recipient | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting provider | Server log data | Serving the Website securely |
| Email provider | Message content and addresses | Delivering and storing correspondence |
| Anti-spam / form processing service | Submission metadata | Distinguishing genuine enquiries from automated ones |
| Logistics partner | Name, delivery address, access instructions | Delivering a confirmed commission |
| Professional advisers | Only what is strictly relevant | Legal or accounting advice under a duty of confidence |
| Authorities | Only what is legally required | Compliance with a valid legal request |
| Successor entity | Records transferred as part of the business | Corporate reorganisation, with notice to you |
Every service provider acts on our documented instructions, is bound by confidentiality, and is permitted to use the information only for the purpose we specify.
9. International transfers
The Website owner is established in the United States, while atelier correspondence may be handled in Europe. Personal information may therefore be transferred to, stored in, and accessed from countries other than your own, including countries whose data protection laws differ from those of your jurisdiction.
Where personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is transferred outside those areas, we rely on appropriate safeguards, in particular the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where relevant) concluded with the recipients, together with technical measures such as encryption in transit. A copy of the relevant safeguards can be requested at [email protected].
10. Retention periods
| Record | Retention | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry that does not lead to a project | Up to 24 months from the last message | Permanently deleted |
| Proposal and design correspondence | Duration of the discussion plus 24 months | Permanently deleted |
| Commission project file | Duration of the relationship, then as needed for aftercare | Reduced to the record card |
| Record card of a delivered piece | For as long as lifetime aftercare may be requested | Deleted on request where no longer needed |
| Server logs | Typically up to 12 months | Overwritten or deleted |
| Consent records | As long as the related record is kept | Deleted with it |
Where a statutory retention period applies, that period governs. When information is no longer needed, it is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
11. Security measures
- The Website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
- Access to enquiry data is limited to the people who need it to answer you or to build your commission.
- Devices used for correspondence are password protected, encrypted at rest and kept updated.
- Accounts used to access mail and hosting are protected with strong, unique credentials and multi-factor authentication where available.
- We collect the minimum information required, which is itself a security measure.
No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. Please do not send sensitive personal information through the forms; if a matter requires it, ask us first and we will arrange a suitable channel.
12. Your rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to:
- Access — obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a copy.
- Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Erasure — have data deleted where we no longer have a valid reason to keep it.
- Restriction — ask us to pause processing while a dispute about accuracy or legitimacy is resolved.
- Portability — receive data you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time.
- Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Complain — to your local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address the matter first.
Requests are answered within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests, in which case we tell you within the first month. We may ask a question or two to confirm your identity. Exercising these rights is free of any condition or disadvantage.
13. United States state privacy rights
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah or another state with comparable legislation, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, used and disclosed; to request deletion; to request correction; to obtain a portable copy; to opt out of sale, sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, and profiling with legal effects; and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Notice regarding sale and sharing: in the preceding twelve months we have not sold personal information, have not shared it for cross-context behavioural advertising, and have not knowingly collected or sold the personal information of anyone under 16. We therefore do not offer a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism, because there is nothing for it to switch off.
Requests may be submitted to [email protected] and are acknowledged within 10 business days and answered within 45 days, extendable once by a further 45 days with notice. An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf with written proof of authorisation.
14. Marketing and profiling
We do not run advertising campaigns, retargeting, lookalike audiences or automated lead scoring, and we do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not send unsolicited bulk email. If a newsletter is ever introduced, it will require a separate, explicit opt-in and every message will contain a one-click unsubscribe link.
15. Children
The Website addresses adults with a professional or collector's interest in card-room furniture. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, write to us and it will be deleted promptly.
16. Third-party links
The Website may link to external resources such as certification bodies or partner workshops. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their content or their handling of your information. Review their policies before providing them with anything.
17. Data incidents
We maintain procedures for detecting and responding to personal data breaches. Where a breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. Where the risk is high, we also notify the affected individuals directly, describing what happened, what information was involved and what steps we are taking.
18. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, our providers or applicable law. The current version is always published on this page with a version number and effective date. Material changes are announced on the Website, and people with an active commission are informed by email. Continued use of the Website after the effective date signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
