Privacy policy

The controller of the data collected by the Carnet de dégustation app is Présence SARL, 7 rue Andrieux, 75008 Paris, France (SIREN 523 573 566), represented by Mr Guingamp.

For any question about your personal data: bonjour@lescarnetsdedegustations.fr.

The app is used to keep your personal tasting notebook. It processes:

• your email address, your name if you provide it, and your password (stored only in encrypted form): to manage your account;
• your tastings: dates, places, titles, wines, ratings and comments;
• your photos (labels and photos of the moment, in their original and retouched versions);
• your audio recordings, that is your voice, and their transcription;
• your phone’s location at the time of a tasting, only if you allow it, as well as the date and place recorded in a photo you import;
• the internet address (IP address) of the device trying to sign in, create an account or reset a password: only to block repeated attempts (5 attempts per quarter of an hour), deleted within 24 hours at most.

The app is reserved for adults (18 or older), which everyone confirms when creating their notebook.

Your photos, recordings and texts are sent to an artificial intelligence service to read the label, transcribe your dictation and pre-fill the wine’s record. This service is configured to refuse any reuse of your data for training purposes.

When you ask to “Learn more about this wine”, only the name of the wine (estate, cuvée, appellation, vintage) is sent to an internet search engine, through the same artificial intelligence service. No information about you accompanies this search.

The map of your tastings is drawn by your browser from map tiles downloaded from OpenFreeMap: this service receives your device’s internet address, as with any web page, but no data from your notebook.

Your notebook is strictly private: nobody but you has access to it. A tasting is only made public if you choose to share it, as an image whose content you decide.

• Performance of the contract (the terms of use you accept when creating your notebook): managing your account, keeping your notebook (tastings, photos, recordings, ratings), automatic reading of labels and dictations, the “Learn more” search and the map.
• Consent: use of your phone’s location, camera and microphone, which your phone asks you to allow and which you can withdraw at any time in its settings; signing in with Google, if you choose it.
• Legitimate interest: the security of the service (blocking repeated sign-in attempts, database backups).

To provide this service, we use third-party processors. Each processor only handles the data strictly necessary for its task, under a contract compliant with Article 28 of the GDPR.

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. When you delete a tasting, its photos and recordings are erased immediately. When you delete your account (from Settings), your whole notebook is erased immediately and permanently. Database backups are renewed automatically and disappear after nine months at most.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights over your data:

• Right of access and rectification
• Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
• Right to data portability
• Right to object and to restrict processing
• Right to withdraw your consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
• Right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (French data protection authority) (cnil.fr)

To exercise your rights: bonjour@lescarnetsdedegustations.fr. We undertake to reply within one month at most.

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the services and processors used. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. Substantial changes will be notified by email to account holders.
