Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 October 2026
La Clairière collects only minimal data: anonymous audience analytics to find out which texts are read. This page explains what it records, why, and your rights.
Data controller
La Clairière is a personal project published by Clément, who writes under the name Le Veilleur. For any questions about your data, please write to contact@laclairierejournal.com.
What we collect
The audience analytics described below count visits without cookies and without retaining your IP address. The site does not ask for any personal data: there are no accounts or registration. A restricted section requires a password, which is not stored. To limit attempts, the IP address of the person entering it is held in the server’s working memory, without being written to storage, and is discarded when the server stops. If you write to us, your email address and message are used solely to reply to you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you have the right of access, rectification, erasure and objection. To exercise any of these rights, please write to contact@laclairierejournal.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); in the European Union, the authority in your country of residence).
Audience analytics
To find out which texts are read, the site uses Umami, a free and open-source analytics tool installed on a server we administer, hosted by Infomaniak in Switzerland. Umami does not set any cookies. For each visit, it records the page viewed and its title, the referring website, the browser and operating system, the device type and screen size, the language, and an approximate location (country, region, city). Your IP address is used at the time of the visit to determine this location and is then not stored. Parameters added to the page URL are not recorded. This information cannot identify you or track you across websites, and is neither sold nor shared. It is retained for as long as the site exists. These analytics are based on our legitimate interest in knowing what is read (Article 6.1.f of the GDPR).
Cookies
The site does not set any tracking or analytics cookies. Its only cookie is a technical cookie: the restricted section sets it when the correct password is entered, so that you do not have to enter it again on each page for ninety days. It contains only its expiry date and a signature, and cannot be used to track you.
