Data & Cookies Policy

As a publication specialized in cybersecurity and systems defense, SafeITExperts follows a rigorous standard: we deploy zero advertising cookies, zero third-party tracking pixels, and zero commercial profiling.

We have no commercial interest in tracking your browsing habits. The entire site is readable while preserving your complete anonymity.

In plain English: no ads, no trackers, no profiling, and no data broker sales. Your privacy is respected by design.

In accordance with CNIL recommendations (October 2020), technical storage strictly necessary to deliver an explicitly requested service is exempt from prior consent.

Our Site does not use cookies for your preferences, but relies on browser localStorage to remember:

• Your visual theme preference (dark or light mode);
• Your custom accessibility settings (font scaling, dyslexia spacing, high contrast).

This information remains strictly confined to your personal device and is never sent to our servers.

In plain English: comfort settings (dark mode, dyslexia fonts) are remembered locally on your device. Nothing leaves your browser.

To evaluate reader engagement, we utilize a cookieless analytics architecture (Cloudflare Web Analytics). It sets no client-side cookies, avoids persistent device fingerprinting, and aggregates traffic anonymously.

For transparency, temporary statistical review campaigns by geographical area may be run for defined intervals. Their sole objective is assessing regional interest in complex technical topics to prioritize future guides. All resulting metrics remain aggregated and strictly anonymous.

In plain English: our audience measurement does not track your identity or set cookies. We only observe aggregate geographic trends to write better articles.

The Cloudflare edge delivery network may set strictly necessary technical security cookies (such as __cf_bm for bot management and DDoS mitigation).

These tokens exist exclusively to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated attack vectors. They contain no personal identifying data and are exempt from consent under CNIL and ePrivacy rules.

In plain English: these technical tokens protect our servers against automated botnets and malicious cyber attacks.

When you submit a comment under an article, we store:

• The chosen nickname or first name (displayed publicly);
• The email address (kept confidential, never displayed publicly);
• An optional website link;
• The message body;
• Your IP address and timestamp, used exclusively for anti-spam moderation and legal compliance.

Data is persisted in our encrypted Cloudflare D1 database and retained for the lifespan of the relevant article.

In plain English: your email is never public. Your IP and message are retained strictly for spam prevention and moderation.

If you contact us via email (for technical questions, privacy inquiries, or coordinated vulnerability reports), we retain your message and email address only for the duration needed to resolve your request.

This correspondence is never used for promotional campaigns or transferred to marketing mailing lists.

In plain English: if you email us, we only keep your message to answer you, nothing else.

The Site is hosted and executed on Cloudflare edge infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, D1 Database). Data routing complies with European Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

No personal information is sold, rented, or shared with advertising exchanges, data brokers, or social media networks.

In plain English: our infrastructure runs on secure Cloudflare edge nodes compliant with European law. No data is ever sold.

Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you hold the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right of access: find out what personal data we retain;
• Right to rectification: update or correct inaccurate data;
• Right to erasure: request complete deletion of a comment or message;
• Right to restriction & objection: challenge specific data handling.

In plain English: you maintain total control over your data and can request modifications or deletions at any time.

To exercise any of your privacy rights or discuss data handling, contact us directly at:

contact@safeitexperts.com

We will fulfill your request free of charge within a maximum timeframe of 30 days.

In plain English: send us an email to exercise your rights. We will respond promptly.

If you believe our processing of your personal information infringes applicable data protection laws, you may lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority:

Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL)
3 Place de Fontenoy — TSA 80715 — 75334 Paris Cedex 07 — France

In plain English: you retain the right to submit a formal complaint to the French data protection authority (CNIL).
