2. Personal Data Collected

The Jules Matton website collects personal data only in specific, limited situations. The data controller is Jules Matton, who can be contacted at the addresses listed above.

Email contact (mailto links)

This website does not host a contact form. The contact section uses mailto links, which open your own email application (such as Mail, Outlook, or Gmail) and let you compose a message directly. No personal data is collected or processed by the website itself when you use these links.

If you choose to send an email, your message is transmitted through your own email provider to:

• manager@julesmatton.co (Hoda Mana)
• jules@julesmatton.co (Jules Matton)

Once received, the content of your email (name, email address, message) is stored within the recipients’ email accounts (currently hosted by Google / Gmail). Legal basis: your own initiative in sending the message. Retention period: three years from the last exchange, unless the conversation leads to a professional engagement, in which case standard business retention applies.

The privacy practices of Gmail are governed by Google’s own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Server logs

The hosting provider (OVH) automatically logs technical data on each visit, including IP address, browser type, and timestamp. These logs are kept for security and legal purposes for a period of one year, in accordance with French data retention obligations.

Newsletter

No newsletter or mailing list is currently operated by this website. No email collection occurs outside the direct email contact described above.

3. Cookies and Tracking

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functioning, measure audience, and enable certain third-party services.

Essential cookies

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function (session management, consent preferences). These cookies are deposited without prior consent and cannot be refused.

Third-party services

The following third-party services may deposit cookies on your device, subject to your consent:

IP anonymisation is enabled where technically possible. Data may be transferred to Google servers outside the European Union, subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can refuse Google Analytics at any time through the consent banner.

• WordPress: content management system, may set technical cookies for site functioning.
• YouTube embedded videos: when you click play on a YouTube video embedded in the site, Google/YouTube deposits cookies (advertising, viewing history, preferences). You can refuse these cookies through the consent banner. Where possible, embeds are served from youtube-nocookie.com, which does not set tracking cookies until video playback.
• SoundCloud, Spotify: audio links and embedded players may set cookies when interacted with.

Audience measurement
