Privacy policy

Welcome to Vioraia! Protecting your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information in accordance with applicable French and European data protection laws. By using our website, you consent to the practices described below.

Who We Are

Our website address is Vioraia.com.

Information Collection

Comments
When a visitor leaves a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized hash generated from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Once approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information.

Cookies

To improve your experience, we use cookies to remember your information when you comment or log in.

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for one year.

  • Login Cookies: When you log in, cookies save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, or 14 days if you select “Remember Me.” Logging out removes login cookies.

  • Editing Cookies: When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie without personal data is stored for one day.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some site features may not function properly.

Embedded Content

Articles may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from third-party websites. These external sites behave as if you visited them directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions.

Data Sharing

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for security.

  • Automated Spam Detection: Comments may be screened by automated services to maintain site safety.

  • Service Providers: Trusted third-party providers (payment processors, shipping carriers, analytics) receive only the necessary data and are contractually required to protect it.

Data Retention

  • Comments: Retained indefinitely to recognize and auto-approve follow-up comments.

  • User Accounts: Stored until account deletion or upon request, except where data must be kept for legal or security reasons.

Your Rights Over Your Data

Under French and EU law (notably the GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data.

  • Deletion: Ask us to erase your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.

  • Correction: Update your personal information anytime via your account or by contacting us.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@vioraia.com.

Data Transfer and Security

Vioraia operates in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and French data protection laws (Loi Informatique et Libertés). We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption (SSL/TLS). Your data may be transferred within the European Economic Area (EEA) or to countries with adequate protection. For international transfers, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place.

For any questions regarding your data, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@vioraia.com.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 16 (the age of digital consent in France). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us to delete it immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted with an updated “Effective Date.” Continued use of the website after changes implies acceptance.
