Your data

Privacy policy

Last updated: 12 August 2026

The essentials in a few lines

Your data is hosted in France, is never sold and serves no advertising: Explorissima displays no adverts. We collect the bare minimum needed to run the service (your account, your travel journal, your newsletter subscription if any) and you can exercise your rights at any time.

Data controller

EXPLORISSIMA, a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS) and mission-driven company (RCS Pau no. 920 982 832), whose registered office is at 2 chemin de la Lande, 64800 Nay (France), is the controller for the processing described in this policy. Contact: [email protected].

Data Protection Officer (DPO):[email protected], or by post: EXPLORISSIMA, for the attention of the DPO, 2 chemin de la Lande, 64800 Nay (France).

Minors under 15 must obtain permission from their legal representatives before signing up. Explorissima is not responsible for third-party sites reachable through links: please read their own privacy policies.

Data collected and purposes

  • Traveller account (email address, display name, encrypted password): to create and secure your personal space. Legal basis: performance of the contract.
  • Travel journal (saved places, notes, shares): to compose and share your itineraries. Legal basis: performance of the contract.
  • Newsletter (email address): to send you our monthly letter. Legal basis: consent, withdrawable in one click from every email.
  • Contact emails (address and message content): to answer your requests. Legal basis: legitimate interest.

Browsing the site requires neither an account nor identification: guides, places and articles are freely accessible.

Retention periods

  • Account and journal: for the life of the account, then 3 years after the last activity.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
  • Contact requests: 3 years after the last exchange.

Recipients and hosting

Your personal data is hosted in France. It is neither sold nor rented. It is accessible only to Explorissima’s teams and to the strictly necessary technical processors (hosting, email delivery), bound by GDPR compliance commitments.

The site is delivered through the network of Cloudflare, Inc. (protection and performance); this technical service does not give rise to any commercial exploitation of your data by Explorissima.

Form protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect our forms (contact, newsletter, sign-in) against automated submissions, the site uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a discreet anti-bot verification that replaces traditional captchas. Turnstile analyses technical signals from the browser, without directly identifying individuals and without advertising tracking, to tell a human visitor from a bot. Legal basis: legitimate interest (security of the service). This processing is described in theCloudflare Turnstile privacy addendum.

Cookies

Explorissima uses no advertising cookies. Only trackers strictly necessary for the service to work (session, preferences, the content of your journal on this device) are used; they are exempt from consent. If audience measurement were introduced, it would be anonymised and compliant with the recommendations of the CNIL, the French data protection authority.

Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés), you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability over your data, as well as the right to set post-mortem directives.

To exercise them: [email protected], or by post: EXPLORISSIMA, for the attention of the DPO, 2 chemin de la Lande, 64800 Nay (France). We reply within one month; manifestly unfounded or excessive requests may be refused. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).

Finally, you can set directives on what happens to your data after your death, with a trusted third party certified by the CNIL or directly with Explorissima; your heirs may exercise certain rights.

Changes to this policy

This policy may evolve with the service (for example when the member area and the synchronised journal open). The update date appears at the top of the page; in the event of a substantial change, users with an account will be informed.
