What I keep, why, and for how long
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. The only personal data I receive is what you choose to send me through the contact form. I use it to reply to you, I share it with no one, and I delete it when it's no longer needed.
Gabriel Mazur, Just One Step, Chamonix, France — the data controller in the sense of the GDPR. You can reach me through the contact form for anything on this page.
When you write to me, the form sends me your name, your email address, and whatever you put in your message. I process this for one reason: to read your message and answer it, and to handle whatever work follows from our conversation. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in responding to people who contact me — and, if we end up working together, the steps needed to prepare and carry out that work.
If you tick the box to join my private list, I also keep your email address for that purpose. That happens only with your explicit consent — the box is never pre-ticked — and the legal basis is that consent.
Messages stay in my mailbox as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any work that comes out of it, then they are deleted. If you joined the email list, I keep your address until you leave: every email includes a way to unsubscribe, or you can simply reply and ask. Consent withdrawn is consent gone — your address is removed.
No one. I don't sell, rent, or pass on your data. It travels through the technical providers that run this site and my email — acting as processors on my behalf — and stops there.
Under the GDPR you can ask me what I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, and take a copy elsewhere. Write to me through the contact form and I'll handle it. If you believe I've handled your data badly, you can complain to your data protection authority — in France, the CNIL.
