  • Legal basis: performance of the contract (Art. 6.1.b GDPR).

2.3 Audience measurement (Google Analytics 4)

With your consent, the site uses Google Analytics 4 to produce anonymised traffic statistics (page views, source, device type). This tool sets cookies (notably _ga and _ga_*).

  • Purpose: understanding site usage in order to improve it.
  • Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR).
  • Processor: Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC.
  • Retention: audience-measurement cookie lasting 13 months; on Google's side, event data is kept for 2 months and user data for 14 months.

2.4 Push notifications (OneSignal)

With your consent (via the site banner and then your browser's permission), the site may send you push notifications to inform you of new publications. A technical identifier of your browser or device is then stored.

  • Purpose: informing you of new images and news.
  • Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR).
  • Processor: OneSignal, Inc.
  • Withdrawal: at any time via your browser's notification settings and the site's consent banner.

If you contact us by email or via social media, your contact details and the content of your message are used solely to reply to you.

  • Legal basis: legitimate interest in answering your request (Art. 6.1.f GDPR).

2.6 Site functionality (local storage)

The site stores certain information in your browser's local storage (cart, liked images, consent choice). This information stays on your device, is not tracking cookies and is not shared with third parties.

3. Cookies and trackers

Non-essential cookies and trackers (audience measurement, notifications) are only set after your consent, collected via the banner shown on your first visit. Elements strictly necessary for the site to work (cart, remembering your consent choice) do not require consent.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by reopening the consent management banner from the footer.

4. Recipients and processors

Your data is never sold. It is shared only with the providers necessary to deliver the service:

  • WhiteWall (GmbH, Germany) — production and shipping of the prints.
  • Stripe — secure payment processing.
  • Google — audience measurement (if consented).
  • OneSignal — push notifications (if consented).
  • OVH (OVHcloud, France) — technical hosting of the site.

5. Transfers outside the European Union

Some providers (notably Google and OneSignal) may process data outside the European Union, in particular in the United States. These transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards (European Commission standard contractual clauses and/or the Data Privacy Framework).

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, portability, and withdrawal of your consent at any time (without affecting processing already carried out).

To exercise your rights, contact: contact@arnaudgeoffroy.be.

7. Complaint
