Intellectual property
Texts, photographs and illustrations belong to the publisher or are used with a licence that allows it (for example the free Unsplash licence for some photographs). Logos and brand names belong to their owners and are shown only to name them. Any reproduction without permission is prohibited. If you believe a content infringes your rights, write to us and it will be removed promptly.
Credits: Photographs by the author; some landscapes from Unsplash (John Towner, Valdemaras D., Luca Bravo).
Artificial intelligence and transparency
The ideas, texts and choices published here are written and decided by their human author, who keeps editorial control over every page. Artificial-intelligence tools are used as assistants only: proofreading, translation, layout and design suggestions. No content is published without human review.
Some illustrations were created or edited with AI tools. They are illustrations, not photographs of real events, and never show real people in situations that did not happen.
No chatbot or automated system interacts with visitors on this site, and no automated decision is taken about anyone. This site does not impersonate any person or organisation.
Personal data
The site collects personal data only when you send it yourself:
- Contact form: name, email, subject and message (organisation optional).
- Newsletter: email only, confirmed by a link you receive; unsubscribe in one click at any time.
Purpose: to answer you, and nothing else. Legal basis: your request (pre-contractual measures) and our legitimate interest in replying; your consent when you tick a box. Recipients: the publisher only; the host stores the data on our behalf. Data is never sold, rented, shared for advertising or used to build a profile, and no automated decision is taken about you. Retention: 24 months at most, then automatic deletion. Transfers: none outside the European Union.
Cookies and browser storage
The site sets no cookies for visitors: no advertising, no tracking pixel, no social-network buttons that follow you. WordPress only sets cookies for people logged into the back office. Your browser keeps a few technical choices locally (light or dark display, opting out of statistics, the date of your last visit); they never leave your device. No consent banner is needed, in line with the CNIL guidelines.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act, you can access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its use, and receive it in a portable format. Write to nv@myhistoire.com: we answer within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Forms are protected against spam without cookies or third-party services, logins are limited, the back office is not exposed to visitors, and messages are stored privately and deleted automatically.
Changes
This page is updated whenever the site changes. Last update: November 2026.
Audience measurement
We measure visits with our own tool, hosted on our server: no cookie, no advertising tracker, no third party. Your IP address is neither stored nor used, and no identifier is created: your browser only remembers the date of your last visit (to count daily visitors) and, for the current tab, how you arrived. The words typed in the site’s search box, the clicks (button names and click positions rounded to a grid, to draw a map of the most clicked areas) and the visits that end in a message or an e-mail are counted too, always as totals that are never linked to anyone. The origin of a visit is reduced to the name of the referring website (for example a search engine or a social network). Statistics are aggregated and kept for 25 months at most. Your browser’s “Do Not Track” and “Global Privacy Control” signals are respected, and you can object at any time:
