Privacy Policy

What the Site Stores
No account, no form, no analytics cookie at this time. The site only keeps, in your browser (local storage), the layers you showed or hid, so you find them on your next visit. These settings are never sent to us; you can erase them by clearing the site's data in your browser.
Contact Form
The name, email address and message you send through the form reach us by email, only so we can reply. They are not stored on the site or passed on to anyone, and are deleted once the conversation is over. To limit spam, the server keeps an anonymised fingerprint of your IP address for one hour.
Services Called by the Map
To show up-to-date data, your browser contacts some public services directly, which therefore receive your IP address as with any web page:
- USGS and EMSC: live earthquakes
- NASA GIBS: satellite imagery (if the layer is on)
- Amazon Web Services (Terrarium): elevations when zoomed in
- Wikimedia Commons: flags and photos
Our host, o2switch (France), keeps technical server logs (IP address, requested page, date) for security purposes, for a limited time.
Advertising
If advertising is added, a banner will ask for your consent before any advertising cookie, and this page will be updated with the list of partners.
Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you can request access to, correction or deletion of your data through the contact form. You may also contact the French data protection authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
