Privacy Policy

Bravenor is an independent wellness resource focused on everyday nutrition and active lifestyle practices for men. The content is not affiliated with any governmental or institutional body. This Privacy Policy describes how Bravenor (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information provided by visitors (“you”, “your”) when you access and use this website located at bravenor.info (the “Site”).

We are committed to protecting your personal data and operating in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) and applicable French data protection law. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this policy or the handling of your data, you may contact us directly at [email protected] or by post at 17, Rue du Sentier, 75002 Paris, France.

We collect information in the following circumstances and categories:

A. Information You Provide Directly

When you use the contact form on the Site, we collect the name, email address, and message content you submit. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not use it for unsolicited marketing communications without your separate, explicit consent.

Optional fields — such as a telephone number or subject line — are collected only if you choose to complete them. We do not request sensitive personal data (including but not limited to financial details, identity documents, or data relating to health conditions) through the Site.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party analytics tools may automatically collect the following technical information:

• Your IP address (anonymised where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL and pages visited
• Date and time of access
• Session duration and interaction events

This information is used in aggregate form to understand how visitors engage with catalogue content, to identify technical issues, and to improve the Site's structure and editorial organisation.

C. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Full details of the cookies we use, their purposes, and your options for managing them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes, each with a corresponding lawful basis under GDPR:

Responding to Enquiries

Lawful basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to respond to contact form submissions and address questions about the catalogue. Data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the correspondence, and no longer than 24 months from the date of last contact.

Site Analytics and Performance

Lawful basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — where you have accepted analytics cookies via the cookie consent banner. Aggregated analytics data helps us understand which catalogue sections are most frequently consulted and whether navigation works as intended. You may withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

Legal Compliance

Lawful basis: Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR) — we may retain certain records where required by applicable French law, tax regulations, or in connection with a legal dispute. Retention periods in these cases are determined by the applicable statutory period.

What We Do Not Do

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

We work with a limited number of third-party service providers who may handle personal data on our behalf as data processors. These include hosting infrastructure providers and analytics software vendors. All processors are engaged under data processing agreements that require them to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

CDN and Script Providers

The Site loads certain third-party scripts (including fonts, icon libraries, animation libraries, and charting tools) from external content delivery networks. These providers may set their own cookies or collect technical usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of providers such as Google Fonts, Cloudflare, jsDelivr, and unpkg if you have concerns about their data handling practices.

International Transfers

Some of our third-party processors operate outside the European Economic Area. Where transfers to third countries occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or that the recipient country has been assessed as providing an adequate level of protection.

Disclosure Required by Law

We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, court order, or competent regulatory authority, or where we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bravenor, our visitors, or the public.

As a data subject located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights under the GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days of receipt of your request, and at no charge unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

• Right of access — You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure — You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no overriding legitimate reason for continued processing.
• Right to restriction — You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability — Where processing is based on your consent and carried out by automated means, you may request transfer of your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to object — You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), the French supervisory authority, at www.cnil.fr.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These include HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, access controls limiting internal data handling to authorised personnel, and regular review of our data processing activities.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take commercially reasonable precautions, we cannot ensure absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and, where required, inform affected individuals without undue delay.

Retention Schedule

• Contact form enquiries: retained for up to 24 months from last correspondence, then securely deleted.
• Server access logs: retained for up to 12 months for security and analytical purposes.
• Analytics data: retained in aggregate form for up to 26 months, per standard analytics platform settings.
• Legal correspondence: retained for the duration required by applicable statutory limitation periods.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data handling practices, applicable law, or the structure of the Site. Where changes are material, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the Site following the posting of a revised policy constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the updated terms.
