Privacy: what the site keeps, and for how long

Asturna is a personal, non-professional project (see the legal notice, in French). Version française.

In short

No account, no advertising, no audience measurement, no cookie. Personal data is processed in only two cases: when you use the "suggest a question" form, and when your browser loads fonts from Google.

What stays in your browser

Your language, your theme (light or dark) and, if you use "My requests", your last 20 requests are stored locally in your browser. They are not sent to the site. You can clear them at any time in your browser settings.

When you suggest a question

• What is stored: the keyword (120 characters at most), category, domain, the date and, if you provide it, your e-mail address (optional). Processing the request adds its status and, if it is rejected, the reason for the rejection.
• What it is for: reviewing your request, possibly publishing a question and, if you left an e-mail, telling you when it is live. No other use; no data is sold.
• Legal basis: performing your request; for the optional e-mail, your consent (you may leave it blank).
• How long: a request is deleted 12 months after it is received. The e-mail is erased once the notification is sent, or at the latest 30 days after the request is published or rejected.
• IP address: to prevent abuse, the server briefly counts requests per address (at most 5 per hour). The counter stays in memory and disappears on restart; it is not written to the requests file.

Providers and transfers

• Scaleway (Paris, France) hosts the server.
• Google: to assess a request, the keyword, category and domain may be sent to the Gemini API, together with extracts from public sources; your e-mail is not sent there. Google Fonts transmits your IP address to Google when a page loads them.
• Public sources: to look for an announcement or an official filing, the keyword is used in searches of public databases (regulatory filings, clinical-trial registries, AI-model catalogues). These searches do not contain your e-mail.
• Resend (United States) sends the notification e-mail, so it receives your e-mail address and the message text.
• Cloudflare manages the domain name and the routing of messages sent to contact@asturna.com; it does not relay the site's traffic.

Some of these processing operations may involve a transfer of data outside the European Union.

Logs

Asturna's web server does not write an access log (IP address, pages visited). The hosting provider may keep its own technical logs under its own rules.
