Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address and your browser user agent string, to help detect spam. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the site free of spam.
Bonus resources form (book readers)
If you request access to the bonus resources for L’Art de persuader et convertir à l’ère numérique, we collect your first name, email address, profile (freelancer, marketer, etc.) and your answer to the proof-of-purchase question.
We use this data to:
- check that you own the book and email you the access link;
- let you know when new resources are added, only if you agreed to it.
Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by replying to any of our emails or writing to the address above.
Your answer to the proof-of-purchase question is used only to validate access and is deleted once verified.
The resources are hosted on Google Drive. If you open them while signed in to a Google account, Google processes your data under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
