Privacy Policy

The Ed Punez Picco website is owned by Demessine Emilie, sole trader, who is responsible for the processing of your personal data.

We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain which data we collect, for what purposes, and under which conditions it may be used or shared. By using the Ed Punez Picco website, you accept the practices described below.

We pay particular attention to the confidentiality and security of your personal data.

1. Data controller and contact

Controller: Demessine Emilie – ED Punez Picco
Status: Sole trader (EI)
Email: contact@edpunezpicco.com

For any questions about your data or the exercise of your rights, you can contact us at this address.

2. Data we collect

2.1. Data collected automatically (browsing)

When you visit the site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

browser type and version
IP address, time zone
pages visited, time spent, navigation path
referring URL (website or search engine)
information related to cookies and any other trackers used

This “device information” is mainly used to keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and compile overall, anonymous traffic statistics.

2.2. Data you provide to us

When you fill in a form or contact us (for example for a portrait, a diagnostic, a project or a simple question), you may be asked to provide information such as:

first name, surname, pseudonym
email address, possibly phone number, city or country
information about your activity or project
elements needed to prepare a quote, carry out an order or service (brief, context, documents, images, etc.)
where relevant, billing information

You can visit the site without providing this data, but some features (contact form, quote request, order, newsletter sign‑up, etc.) require minimum information so that we can respond.

2.3. Newsletter and information emails

If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter or receive information emails, we use only your email address (and possibly your first name) to send these messages.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in each email or by contacting us at contact@edpunezpicco.com.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process your data only when necessary and for the following purposes:

Responding to your requests (contact, quotes, questions) and following up on exchanges
Managing orders and services (portraits, professional services, projects), including invoicing and accounting
Sending you information if you have voluntarily subscribed to a newsletter or mailing list
Improving the site and ensuring its security (audience statistics, abuse prevention, technical logging)

Processing is mainly based on:

performance of a contract or pre‑contractual measures (when you contact us or order a service)
compliance with legal obligations (billing, accounting, dispute management)
our legitimate interests (site security, service improvement, statistics)

4. Recipients and processors

Your data is processed by the site owner and is not sold or rented to third parties.

However, it may be shared, where necessary, with:

our hosting provider, to ensure technical operation and security of the site
our payment providers (such as Stripe, PayPal) when you pay online
an email or newsletter service, if you subscribe to it
our technical providers (maintenance, statistics) strictly for the needs of their tasks

These providers must respect data confidentiality and security, and act only on our instructions.

5. Data transfers outside the European Union

Some of our providers (online payment, email, technical tools) may be located outside the European Union, for example in Canada or the United States.

In such cases, we endeavour to choose services that offer appropriate data‑protection safeguards (standard contractual clauses, suitable security measures, etc.), in line with applicable regulations.

6. Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, and in line with legal obligations:

data linked to contact requests and pre‑contractual exchanges: generally up to 3 years after the last exchange or interaction from you
client data related to orders and invoicing: for the legally required retention period for accounting and tax purposes
newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or, failing that, for a reasonable period after your last interaction (open, click), then archived or deleted
technical data and logs: for the time necessary to ensure site security and to generate anonymised statistics

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR and French data‑protection law, you have, where conditions are met, the following rights:

right to be informed about how your data is used
right of access to your data
right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
right to restrict processing
right to data portability (for certain data)
right to object to processing
rights related to automated decision‑making and profiling, where applicable (which is not the case in the usual operation of this site)

To exercise these rights or ask a question, contact: contact@edpunezpicco.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés) – the French data‑protection authority – via www.cnil.fr, if you believe your rights are not being respected.

8. Cookies and audience measurement

This site uses only cookies and trackers that are strictly necessary for its technical operation (page display, security, forms).

No advertising or marketing‑tracking cookies are used.

You can configure your browser to block cookies, but some essential features of the site may then no longer work correctly.

9. Links to other websites

The Ed Punez Picco website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third‑party sites.

We encourage you to read the privacy policy of each site you visit after leaving ours.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security, even though we do our best to strengthen it.

11. Legal disclosure

We may be required to disclose certain personal data if required by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

comply with a legal obligation or legal process
protect our rights, safety, or that of others
investigate suspected fraud or abuse
respond to a request from a competent authority

12. Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical, or organisational changes.

The “last updated” date may be shown at the bottom of the page. We encourage you to review it regularly.
