Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Birgitte project handles personal data when you visit www.birgitte.lu or use the contact form.
1. Who is responsible for this website?
The Birgitte project, represented by Cederic Schmid, operates this website and determines how personal data submitted through it is processed. You can contact the data controller through the contact form.
2. Data we process
Contact form data
When you use the contact form, we process the name, email address, subject and message that you provide. We use this information only to receive, review and respond to your enquiry.
Technical and security data
Our hosting provider may process technical request data, such as an IP address, browser information, request time and requested page, to deliver the website, maintain security and diagnose faults. The contact form also uses limited technical data to prevent spam and abuse.
Consent preference
Your analytics choice is stored locally in your browser so the website can remember it. You can change this choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
Optional analytics
If you consent to analytics, Google Analytics 4 collects information about how the website is used. This may include viewed pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, browser and device information, referral source and interactions such as purchase-link clicks or a successful contact-form submission. Analytics is not loaded before consent.
3. Why we process data
- To operate, secure and maintain the website.
- To receive and respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form.
- To understand website use and improve the site when analytics consent has been given.
We rely on our legitimate interests in operating a secure website and responding to enquiries. Where analytics is used, the legal basis is your consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time through Cookie Settings.
4. Service providers
We use the following providers to operate the website:
- Vercel for website hosting, content delivery and the server-side contact endpoint.
- Resend for delivering contact-form messages to our private recipient inbox.
- Google Analytics 4 for optional website analytics after consent.
These providers process data under their contractual security and privacy commitments. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we rely on the safeguards and transfer mechanisms made available by the relevant provider under applicable data-protection law.
5. Data retention
Contact messages are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain relevant correspondence and meet legal obligations. Technical logs are retained according to the hosting provider's operational and security settings. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the Birgitte Google Analytics property. Your local consent preference remains in your browser until you change it or clear browser storage.
6. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of or portability of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You may also withdraw analytics consent at any time.
To make a privacy request, use the contact form. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Luxembourg's National Commission for Data Protection, the CNPD.
7. Children
This website presents a children's book, but the contact form is intended for adults, parents, guardians, educators and other professional contacts. Children should not submit personal information without the involvement of a parent or guardian.
8. External links
The website links to third-party retailers and press publications. Their own privacy policies apply when you visit those websites.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its providers or legal requirements change. The current version and revision date will always be published on this page.
