2.5 Technical logs and third-party resources

The host automatically records connection data (IP address, date and time, page viewed) to keep the site secure and working. These logs are kept for a limited period set by the host.

The site's fonts are hosted on the site itself: no request is sent to a third-party service to display them. The confirmation page shown after requesting the diagnostic may display a YouTube video, embedded in privacy-enhanced mode.

3. Who has access to your data

Your data is never sold or passed on for commercial purposes. It is accessible to:

  • The leadership team of Da Vinci Private School;
  • Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France), which manages our forms, our emails and our appointment bookings; data hosted in the European Union;
  • Our host: Google Firebase (Google Ireland Limited), which hosts the site and relays forms to Brevo and to our mailbox, without storing them.

4. Transfers outside the European Union

Our host, Google, may process some technical data (connection logs) in the United States. These transfers are governed by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

5. Data about your child

Information about your child is provided by you, as the holder of parental responsibility. We only collect what is needed to review the application. We never ask a child to give us their data themselves.

6. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability regarding your data. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time, without affecting what was done before.

You can also set instructions for what happens to your data after your death.

To exercise these rights: contact@davinciprivateschool.com. We reply within one month. We may ask you to prove your identity if there is reasonable doubt.

If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority: www.cnil.fr.

7. Cookies

This site sets no advertising or audience-measurement cookies that would require your consent.

To understand which pages are visited and which forms are used, we measure traffic with Umami (Umami Software, Inc.). It sets no cookies, does not keep your IP address and does not follow you from one site to another: it only produces anonymous statistics (pages viewed, referring site, device type, button clicks), hosted in the European Union. Nothing you type into a form is sent to it.

8. Security

We restrict access to your data to the people who need it, and our service providers are contractually bound to keep the data they process on our behalf confidential and secure.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The date of the latest update appears at the top of the page.
