Privacy Policy

Version 1.1 Last updated 20 September 2026 Regulation GDPR (EU) 2016/679

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for processing your personal data under Article 4(7) of the GDPR is:

Entity: [Legal entity name]
Address: [Registered office, France]
Email: philippe.maquine@gmail.com
Contact for data requests: philippe.maquine@gmail.com

Given the limited scope of our processing activities, no Data Protection Officer (DPO) has been formally appointed. All data-related questions are handled directly by the management.

Scope and Definitions

This Privacy Policy describes how AAI Maquine collects, uses, stores and protects the personal data of visitors and prospective clients of the website aaimaq.com.

For the purposes of this policy, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR.

What We Collect

We follow the principle of data minimisation (Article 5(1)(c) GDPR): we only collect data that is strictly necessary for our stated purposes.

Contact form	First name, last name, company name, email address, area of interest, free-text message	Provided by you
Email correspondence	Email address, name, content of exchanges	Provided by you
Technical logs	IP address, browser type, timestamps (kept by the hosting provider for security and abuse prevention)	Automatically, by the host

We do not collect sensitive data (Article 9 GDPR), data concerning minors, financial data, or behavioural or profiling data.

Purposes and Legal Basis

Each processing activity is grounded in a specific legal basis under Article 6 of the GDPR:

Purpose	Legal basis (Art. 6)
Respond to your enquiry and arrange a discovery call	Pre-contractual measures at your request, Art. 6(1)(b)
Send commercial proposals and execute consulting engagements	Performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b)
Comply with accounting, tax and legal obligations	Legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c)
Maintain the security of the website and detect abuse	Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f)
Send occasional follow-up emails to prospects	Consent, Art. 6(1)(a), withdrawable at any time

Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with Article 5(1)(e) of the GDPR:

Contact form and prospect data: 3 years from the last contact, then deleted or anonymised
Client contractual data: duration of the engagement plus 5 years (commercial limitation period, Art. L.110-4 of the French Commercial Code)
Accounting records: 10 years (Art. L.123-22 of the French Commercial Code)
Technical and security logs: up to 12 months

Recipients and Processors

Your personal data is accessed only by the management of AAI Maquine. We do not sell, rent or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.

For strictly necessary technical operations, we rely on the following sub-processors (Article 28 GDPR), each bound by a data processing agreement:

Hosting provider: [Hosting company name], stores the website and security logs
Email provider: [Email service provider], routes and stores correspondence
Other processors: [Accountant or other, if applicable]

International Transfers

Where a sub-processor processes data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such transfers are framed by appropriate safeguards under Chapter V of the GDPR, typically the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an adequacy decision (for example the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

By default, we select providers operating within the EEA whenever feasible.

Security Measures

In accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR, AAI Maquine implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk:

TLS/HTTPS encryption of all data in transit
Strong authentication and access controls on internal systems
Restricted access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis
Regular review of sub-processors and their security posture
Incident response procedure, including notification within 72 hours where required (Art. 33 GDPR)

Cookies and Tracking

This website uses only strictly necessary technical cookies, used for the proper functioning of the site (for example, preserving navigation state). These cookies are exempt from prior consent under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and CNIL guidelines.

We do not deploy:

Advertising or marketing trackers
Audience measurement or analytics tools that collect personal data
Social media tracking pixels
Cross-site profiling cookies

For this reason, no cookie consent banner is displayed. Should we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, a CNIL-compliant consent mechanism will be implemented before deployment.
