Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how F1 Setup PRO (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable French data protection law.
1. Data Controller
The data controller for this website is F1 Setup PRO. For any privacy-related enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
2. Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of data:
- Usage data — pages visited, referral URLs, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level). This data is collected automatically when you access the site.
- Server logs — IP addresses, request timestamps, and HTTP status codes, retained for security and operational purposes.
- Communications — if you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to respond to your enquiry.
We do not collect names, email addresses, or other directly identifying information unless you provide them voluntarily (e.g., by emailing us).
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data on the following legal grounds:
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — for analytics, site performance monitoring, and security logging, where our interest in maintaining and improving the Service does not override your rights.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for any non-essential cookies, where we have obtained your prior consent.
- Legal obligation — where required to comply with applicable law.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use collected data to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Understand how visitors use the site and improve content quality
- Detect and prevent abusive behaviour or security incidents
- Respond to communications you send us
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function correctly (e.g., session management). No consent is required.
- Analytics cookies — used to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Where applicable, we rely on consent or use privacy-preserving, cookieless analytics tools that do not require consent under GDPR.
You can manage or disable cookies at any time via your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party infrastructure providers:
- Cloudflare — CDN, DDoS protection, and DNS. Cloudflare may process network-level data (IP addresses, request metadata) according to their own Privacy Policy.
- Hosting infrastructure — the website is served from a VPS hosted in the EU. Server logs may include IP addresses and are retained for up to 90 days.
7. Data Retention
We retain server logs for up to 90 days for security and operational purposes. Aggregated analytics data (without individual identifiers) may be retained indefinitely. Email communications are retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry, and then deleted.
8. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
- Right of access — to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Right to restriction — to request that we limit how we use your data
- Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL) at cnil.fr.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
