Privacy policy.
Who runs this site
nicolasabou.com is operated by Origine Strategic Studio Inc., a Québec-incorporated business based in Montréal, Canada. Contact: nico@nicolasabou.com.
What we collect
Two categories of data. First, what you choose to share when you contact us: name, email address, company, project type, and the text of your message. Second, basic analytics: device type, browser, country-level location, and which pages you visited, collected via Google Analytics 4. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
Why we collect it
Inquiry data is used to reply to you and, if a project moves forward, to deliver the work. Analytics data is used to understand how visitors find the site and which pages they read, so we can improve them. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.
Where it's stored
Inquiry data is stored in our customer relationship system (Zoho) and email (Zoho Mail), hosted in Zoho's data centres with industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit. Analytics data is stored by Google in accordance with their privacy policy.
How long we keep it
Inquiry data is retained for the duration of the engagement plus seven years for tax and audit purposes (Canadian requirement). Analytics data retention is set to the Google Analytics default. You can request deletion at any time by emailing the address above.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and Québec's Law 25, you have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. EU and UK visitors have equivalent rights under the GDPR. Email nico@nicolasabou.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
Cookies
The site uses essential cookies for theme preference (light / dark mode), and Google Analytics cookies for anonymous traffic measurement. No third-party advertising cookies are set. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to function.
Changes
We may update this policy. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes that affect how your data is used will be communicated by email to clients with active engagements.
