This policy explains what personal data World Wild Watches (worldwildwatches.com) collects, why, how long it is kept and how to exercise your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who is responsible
The data controller is World Wild Watches. For any question or request about your data, write to worldwildwatchesofficial@gmail.com.
In short
- No account, no newsletter, no advertising, no analytics or audience measurement.
- No tracking cookie and no third-party script: fonts and images are served from our own server.
- The only data we handle comes from server logs and from comments you choose to post.
- Nothing is sold, rented or shared for marketing purposes.
Data we collect
Server logs. Like any website, our server records technical information for each request: IP address, date and time, page requested, browser (user agent) and referring page. Purpose: security, preventing abuse and fixing errors. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure (GDPR art. 6.1.f). Retention: 14 days, then automatically deleted.
Comments. When you post a comment we store the name, email address and optional website you enter, the comment text, your IP address and browser user agent (used to detect spam). Your email address is never published. Legal basis: your consent, given by submitting the form (art. 6.1.a). Retention: as long as the comment is online; you can ask for it to be removed at any time.
Contact by email. If you write to us, we keep your message and address only as long as needed to reply and follow up.
Cookies
We use no advertising or tracking cookies, so no consent banner is needed. Only these functional cookies may be set:
pll_language— remembers your language (English or French). Duration: 1 year.comment_author_*— only if you tick “Save my name…” when commenting, to pre-fill the form next time. Duration: 1 year.wordpress_*/wp-settings-*— only for site editors who log in to the administration.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site remains usable.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may link to brands, retailers or other sources. Once you follow such a link, that site’s own privacy policy applies. If an article ever embeds content from another site (for example a video), that content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other site and may collect data about you.
Hosting and recipients
The site is hosted in France by OVH SAS (2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France). Your data stays within the European Union and is only accessible to the site’s editors and to the host as a technical processor. It is never transferred outside the EU.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email worldwildwatchesofficial@gmail.com; we answer within one month. If you believe your rights are not respected, you can lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr), or with the authority of your country.
Security
The whole site is served over HTTPS, the server is kept up to date and access to the administration is restricted.
Changes
We may update this policy, for example if we add a new feature. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version.
