3. Information we collect

Geoblackout does not collect personal data directly from users.
However, some technical and anonymized information may be automatically collected when you browse the Website to ensure proper operation and security.

a. Technical data (essential)

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Date and time of access
• Pages viewed and error logs

These data are processed by our hosting provider OVH and our CDN provider Cloudflare for security, performance, and maintenance purposes.

b. Analytics data (anonymous)

We use Umami, an open-source analytics tool, to measure website traffic and usage.
Umami does not collect personal information, does not use cookies, and anonymizes all IP addresses.
Analytics data include:

• Number of visitors,
• Pages visited,
• Browser and device type,
• Referring website (if any).

These data help us understand how users interact with the platform and improve its performance.

c. Third-party services

Geoblackout uses the following services:

• Radar API: to geolocate and display outage reports based on user-provided addresses.
• OpenStreetMap: to display maps and location data.
• Cloudflare: to ensure content delivery, availability, and security.
• OVH: for website hosting in France.

These third parties may process technical connection data (e.g., IP address, request time) solely to provide their respective services.
Geoblackout does not share, resell, or combine these data for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Cookies

The Website uses two types of cookies:

a. Essential cookies

Required for the Website to function properly.
They enable:

• Session management,
• Load balancing and performance,
• Security and protection against attacks (e.g., via Cloudflare).

You cannot disable these cookies because they are necessary for the Website to operate.

b. Analytical cookies

Used via Umami for traffic measurement.
These cookies (if any) are anonymous and non-intrusive — they do not store personal identifiers and are not used for advertising.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings.

5. Purpose and legal basis of processing

All processing activities are carried out under:

• Legitimate interest (Article 6.1.f GDPR): ensuring the functionality, security, and performance of the Website.
• Compliance with legal obligations: maintaining server logs for security and fraud prevention.

No personal data is used for marketing or profiling.

6. Data retention

• Technical logs are retained for a maximum of 12 months by OVH and Cloudflare.
• Anonymous analytics data may be stored for statistical purposes without time limitation, as they contain no identifiable information.

• t7. Data Transfers

All servers are located within the European Union (France).
If any data transfer occurs outside the EU (e.g., through Cloudflare), it is governed by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

No personal identifiers are collected, stored, or used for cross-context advertising.
California residents have no action required under CCPA/CPRA because no personal data processing occurs.
