Legal basis
Processing your IP address and approximate country when a page loads rests on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: serving a page without an IP address is technically impossible, and without the country we cannot show you the price from the right Amazon store. We pursue no interest beyond that.
Hosting and transfer outside the EU
This site is hosted by Railway Corporation (548 Market Street, PMB 68956, San Francisco, CA 94104, United States) and delivered through Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States). Both are established in the United States, so loading a page necessarily involves a transfer there. We keep and analyze no access logs of our own; where those providers retain logs for technical reasons, their own privacy policies apply.
What we collect
Nothing that directly identifies you: no advertising cookie, no account to create, no comment field, no newsletter.
Site analytics. Only if you accept in the banner, this site uses Google Analytics 4, from Google, to count visits, page views and clicks to Amazon. Cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are then set for up to 13 months, and Google receives a technical identifier, the page viewed and information about your device; your IP address is not stored. This data is kept for 14 months and may be transferred to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Without your consent, no Google script loads. Your choice is kept for 6 months in your browser, and you can change it at any time with the “Manage cookies” link at the foot of the page.
What our server sees
Two pages on this site are rendered per request rather than served as static files: the affiliate redirect and the live price lookup. Both read your approximate country — from a header our CDN provides, or failing that from your browser's language setting — so that we can show you the price from the right Amazon store in the right currency. That country is used to build the response and is not stored.
An IP address is what lets any web server reply at all, and this one is no exception. It is never committed to a database, never used to form a profile, and never disclosed to anybody.
What happens when you click through to Amazon
When you follow a "Check price" button you leave this site and Amazon's own privacy policy applies. Amazon sets a cookie that attributes any resulting purchase to us. We never see who you are, what you bought or what you paid — only an aggregate count of orders, weeks later.
Third parties
Every font is delivered from this site's own domain, so your browser requests nothing from elsewhere. A live price is obtained by the server from a price-history service instead of by your browser, and that is why the service never sees you.
Your rights
Your IP address is personal data, even though we record it in no database of ours. You therefore hold the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection set out in Articles 15 to 21 of the GDPR. In practice we keep no identifier that would let us trace your requests: under Article 11 of the GDPR we are not required to collect additional information for the sole purpose of identifying you. Write to us if you believe we hold something about you, and we will look into it.
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority remains in all cases (Article 77 GDPR). The publisher being established in France, that authority is the CNIL — Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France. A reader resident in another member state may equally turn to the authority of their own country.
