What this page covers

This page covers william.revah.paris, in French and in English. There is no account on this site. What it can learn about you is the address you give if you subscribe to the letter and an anonymous page count; the pages of the letter also show images served by Steady, as described below.

Who publishes this site

This site is published by William Revah, as an individual. He decides what is collected here and why: in data-protection terms, he is the controller of everything this page describes.

Hosting

This site is hosted by Netlify: Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States, privacy@netlify.com. Like any host, Netlify receives your IP address and the headers of your requests in order to serve the pages; it does not publish how long it keeps them. Its servers may be outside the European Union: Netlify takes part in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and also uses the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

The letter

If you subscribe to the letter, your e-mail address is passed to Steady, the service that sends it (Steady Media GmbH, Voltastraße 5, 13355 Berlin, Germany). Steady first sends you a confirmation e-mail, and nothing else is sent until you click the link it contains. Steady keeps your address for as long as you stay subscribed; every letter carries an unsubscribe link. For any transfer outside the European Union, Steady uses the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

To limit abuse, the small function that passes your address on to Steady keeps your IP address in memory, to count sign-ups per visitor over ten minutes. It never writes it to a database or a file, and it forgets it when the function stops running. Your e-mail address is not kept by this site: it only travels through it on its way to Steady.

The letter's pages on this site (/lettre/ and /en/lettre/) show each issue's images straight from Steady's servers. Opening those pages therefore sends your IP address and your browser's identification to Steady, as any image host receives them, even if you never subscribe.

Page counts, without cookies

Page views are counted with Umami, an open-source analytics tool that the publisher runs himself at s.revah.paris, hosted on Vercel with a Neon database located in Frankfurt, Germany. The script sets no cookie and writes nothing to your device.

Your IP address is combined with your browser's identification and a secret value that changes every month to compute an anonymous visit identifier; the address itself is not recorded. What is recorded: the page viewed, the referring site, the browser, the operating system, the device type, the screen size, the language, and an approximate location (country, region, city) derived from the IP address. These figures only tell the publisher which pages are read; they are neither sold nor shared. Visit records are deleted automatically after 13 months.

Legal basis: the publisher's legitimate interest in knowing which of his pages are read.

The site sets no cookie. Your choice of theme (light, dark or automatic) is kept in your browser's local storage, and so is your best score if you play the small game embedded in the Drift story. Neither is ever sent anywhere.

Fonts

The fonts are served by this site itself; your browser makes no request to Google.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data that concerns you, to have it corrected or erased, and you can object to its processing. Write to privacy@revah.paris; you will get an answer within one month.
