What we collect, and why
When you write to us
If you email us, we receive what you send: your name, your email address and your message. We use it to reply, to follow up on your request and, if it leads to a project, to work together. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering the people who contact us.
When you visit the site
Our hosting provider records technical data about each request in its server logs: IP address, browser type, date and time, and the page requested. This keeps the site secure and running. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a safe website.
Audience measurement, only if you agree
With your consent, we use an analytics tool to understand how the site is used: pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived here. Nothing is measured until you choose Accept in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act).

Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser. We also use browser storage for one purpose: remembering your cookie choice.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
13y-consent |
Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics | Essential (no consent needed) | 6 months |
| [Analytics cookies] | Audience measurement, as described above | Analytics (only after you accept) | [Duration set by the provider, 13 months at most] |
Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and rejecting changes nothing about how the site works for you.
How long we keep your data
- Emails and contact details: up to three years after our last exchange, then deleted.
- Server logs: up to twelve months.
- Analytics data: up to twenty-five months, and your consent itself is re-asked after six months.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the providers that run this site on our behalf, under contracts that bind them to protect it:
- Hosting: Vercel Inc., United States. Transfers are covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
- Analytics: [Analytics provider], only when you have accepted.
We may also disclose data where the law requires it, for example to a court or a public authority.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and French law you can, at any time:
- ask what data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- receive it in a portable format;
- withdraw a consent you have given;
- tell us what should happen to your data after your death.
Write to hello@13-years.com. We answer within one month. If you are not satisfied, you can lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL, at cnil.fr.
