The short version
This site runs no analytics, sets no cookies, and uses no advertising or tracking services. Nothing you read here is logged against you. The only personal information involved is what you choose to type into the contact form, and it is used for one thing: replying to you.
Who is responsible
This site is operated by Benoît Saint-Moulin (BSM3D), Belgium. For any question about this policy or about your data, use the contact form.
No analytics, no cookies
- There is no Google Analytics or any other analytics or statistics package on this site.
- This site sets no cookies of its own, and does not use local storage to identify or follow visitors.
- There are no advertising networks, no social media tracking pixels, no fingerprinting, no profiling and no automated decision-making.
- Because nothing is tracked, there is no cookie banner and nothing to opt out of.
Third-party requests
Two things on this site are loaded from outside servers, and your browser necessarily contacts them to fetch those files:
- Font Awesome icons, served from the Cloudflare CDN (
cdnjs.cloudflare.com). Like any web server, it may record the technical details of that request, such as your IP address and browser version. No identifying information is sent by this site along with it. - External links. Links to GitHub, LinkedIn, SideFX and other sites take you off bsm3d.com, and once you are there those sites' own privacy policies apply.
The contact form
If you send a message through the contact form, it collects what you type into it: your name (optional), your email address, a subject, a request type, and your message. This is transmitted to this site's own server and forwarded so it can be read and answered.
- Purpose: replying to your message, and nothing else.
- Legal basis (GDPR): your own initiative in sending the message, and the legitimate interest in answering it.
- Your message is never sold, rented, shared or used for marketing, and you will not be added to any mailing list.
- Messages are kept only as long as useful to handle the exchange and any follow-up, then deleted.
Server logs
Like essentially all web hosting, the server hosting this site may keep standard technical access logs (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser type). These are a normal byproduct of running a web server, are used only for security and troubleshooting, and are not used to build any profile of you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to ask for access to the personal data held about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive a copy of it. In practice, for this site that only ever concerns a message you have sent through the contact form.
To exercise any of these rights, write via the contact form. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be).
Children
This site is aimed at 3D artists, developers and students, and is not directed at children under 16. No information is knowingly collected from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes - for instance if a service that collects data is ever added - this page will be updated and the date at the top changed. Should tracking of any kind ever be introduced, it will be stated here plainly.
