Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how Pookie Tech collects, uses and protects your personal data. In practice, when you browse our high-tech news, use search or write via the contact form, we apply data minimization — only what is needed — according to CNIL guidance and applicable law.

What data do we process?

Contact data: name, email and message when you reach out. Essential technical data: browser type, language, limited security logs to prevent abuse. Aggregated audience metrics if analytics is enabled, configured to reduce identifiability. We do not require sensitive data to read articles.

Strictly necessary cookies (theme preference, technical session) may be set. Any non-essential device will be clearly disclosed and, when required, subject to consent under applicable law.

For which purposes?

To answer requests, secure the platform, improve editorial and technical performance, measure audience in aggregate, and meet legal obligations. Pookie Tech does not use contact messages to build resold marketing lists.

Editorial content remains available without an account. Any personalization relies on local technical preferences rather than invasive ad profiling — aligned with tech readers who care about cybersecurity and privacy.

How long do we keep data?

Contact messages are retained as long as needed to handle the request, then archived or deleted on proportionate schedules. Security logs follow short retention. Aggregated statistics generally cannot re-identify a person.

In disputes or legal obligations, some data may be kept longer strictly for that purpose, then erased or anonymized.

What are your rights?

Depending on your residence, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. Exercise them via the Contact page with a clear request. We reply within regulatory timelines and may verify identity to prevent undue disclosure.

You may also lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority. We still encourage prior dialogue to resolve personal-data issues quickly.

Processors and transfers

Technical providers (hosting, CDN, transactional email, search) may process data on our behalf under instruction and confidentiality. If a transfer outside your region occurs, we seek appropriate safeguards.

Pookie Tech does not sell personal data. Material changes to this policy will be published here with an update date. Continued use after changes means you have reviewed the current version.
