Privacy Policy

Le Sillage is a fragrance diary. The data controller is Denis Sarvarov, an individual developer. Questions and data requests: support@lesillage.me.

01Data we collect

• Account: email address and password. The app cannot be used without an account — this way your diary is not lost when you change phones. The password is stored only as a hash — we do not see the password itself.
• Profile: name, region and language.
• Diary: the fragrances you log, dates and times, notes, mood and impressions.
• Wardrobe: your shelves and the bottles on them.
• What you publish yourself: impressions you made public, comments, reactions, Flea Market listings and reports about other people’s posts.
• Search: queries that found nothing — to grow the catalogue. These queries are not linked to your name.
• Photo for bottle search: processed in memory on our server to recognise the fragrance, and not stored.
• Photo of a bottle you sent for a drawing: stored on our server, seen only by the editors.
• Moderation and safety: reports you sent and reports about your posts; the editors’ decisions about your posts and a copy of a removed post; people you blocked; account restrictions; when you accepted the community rules.
• Reports of illegal content through the form at lesillage.me (they can also be sent without an account): what you report and why, links, your name and email — to review the report and reply.
• Emails to support: your address and the correspondence — to reply.
• Server logs: IP address and time of requests — to protect the service from attacks and spam.

02What others can see

• Impressions you made public — with your name and rank.
• Your comments and reactions.
• Your Flea Market listings: fragrance, volume, price, city.

Everything else — diary, notes, private impressions, wardrobe — is visible only to you.

An author can’t see who reported them. A blocked person can’t see who blocked them, but won’t be able to reply to you. The editors see what you made visible to others, reports, and photos of bottles you sent for a drawing. The editors do not see your diary, notes, private impressions or wardrobe.

03How we use data

• To keep your diary and build your Signature — visible only to you.
• For “Popular today” we use only the fact that a fragrance was worn — without notes and without your name.
• To send reminders you turned on yourself. Reminders run on your phone.
• To send emails with confirmation and access recovery codes.

04Legal basis

• Account, diary, wardrobe, posts, photo search, bottle photos for drawings and code emails — to perform our contract with you (GDPR, Art. 6(1)(b)).
• Moderation, reports, blocking, the decision log and spam protection — our legitimate interest in a safe community and our obligations under the EU Digital Services Act (Art. 6(1)(f) and 6(1)(c)).
• Anonymous “Popular today” counts and queries that found nothing — our legitimate interest in growing the catalogue (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Reports of illegal content — our obligation under the EU Digital Services Act (GDPR, Art. 6(1)(c)); server logs and spam protection — our legitimate interest in a secure service (Art. 6(1)(f)); emails to support — to reply to you (Art. 6(1)(b) or 6(1)(f)).

05Who else is involved

• Data storage — our server, rented from OVHcloud, in a data centre in France (European Union).
• Backups — our second server in the Netherlands (European Union); only encrypted copies are sent there.
• Sending emails — the Resend service (USA). It receives only your email address and the text of the email. Transfers of data from the EU are protected by the EU standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
• Forwarding of emails to support@lesillage.me — Cloudflare (USA), under the same transfer safeguards.

We do not sell data and do not track you across other apps. There are currently no ads or advertising trackers in the app. If they appear, we will update this policy in advance and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

06How long data is kept

As long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your diary, wardrobe, impressions, comments, reactions, listings, bottle photos and profile are deleted with it. Anonymous “Popular today” counts remain — they cannot tell who wore what.

The editors’ decisions and a copy of a removed post are kept for one year after the decision — even if the account is deleted — to handle appeals and protect the community from repeat violations. If an account is closed, we keep its email address while the closure lasts, so that no new account can be created with it.

Reports of illegal content are kept for one year after the decision on them. Server logs — up to 14 days. Correspondence with support — up to one year after the last email. After deletion, data remains in backups for up to 14 more days.

07Your rights

• Download your data: Profile → Settings → Data → Download my data.
• Delete your account and all data permanently: Profile → Settings → Data → Delete account and data.
• Make an impression private or withdraw a listing at any time.
• Request a copy of your data, its correction or deletion: support@lesillage.me.
• Object to processing based on our legitimate interest, or restrict processing: support@lesillage.me.
• We answer data requests within one month.
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority — in France, the CNIL.

08Age

The app is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

09Changes

We may update this policy. We will announce significant changes in the app; the revision date always appears at the top.
