Data controller
The data controller is FEROX YT SAS. Full contact details are available in the legal notice. For any question about your data or to exercise your rights, you can write to contact@ferox.yt.
Data, purposes and legal bases
Depending on the features you use, FEROX YT may process the categories below. The website has no behavioural advertising or commercial profiling. Browsing does not require an account; the Chat may offer an optional user account when invited by a Chat administrator.
- Website access and security. Technical data required for connection and service operation, including the IP address, date and time, requested resource, request result and browser type. Purposes: provide the website, prevent abuse, diagnose incidents and comply with applicable obligations. Legal bases: legitimate interests and, where applicable, legal obligations.
- Toolbox and Chat. Data you enter or choose to transmit and session information needed for the requested feature. To secure the Chat, an approximate network location may be derived locally from the IP address and shown to authorised operators during the session. Legal basis: legitimate interests in providing and securing these optional services.
- Audience measurement. Information limited to general website traffic and usage, without advertising purposes or cross-site tracking. Purpose: understand website use and improve its content and usability. Legal basis: legitimate interests, subject to the conditions applicable to audience measurement.
- Email correspondence. Identity, contact details, message content and attachments you choose to send. Purposes: answer your request and manage the related relationship. Legal basis: depending on context, pre-contractual measures, performance of a contract, legal obligations or legitimate interests.
Data you choose to enter is optional unless it is required for the feature you request; without it, that feature cannot be provided.
Retention periods
- Technical access logs: no longer than one year, unless an incident or legal obligation requires longer retention.
- Audience measurement: detailed data for no longer than ninety days; aggregated reports for no longer than thirteen months.
- Chat: ordinary messages and files are not retained after delivery; temporary shares are retained until expiry, for no longer than thirty days. Optional session restoration is disabled by default; once enabled, it lasts 24 hours or the chosen duration, never more than thirty days after activation, and does not retain conversation content. An optional Chat account retains its nickname, a non-reversible password verifier, its last room and its creation and last-access dates until deletion. The approximate network location shown to authorised operators is not persisted and disappears with the session. Anti-abuse records linking an IP address to repeated authentication attempts are deleted no later than eight days after the last attempt; a ban is stored only as a fingerprint until its expiry, set to no more than 365 days per administrator decision. Other session and security data is kept only while needed; Chat database backups have a seven-day operational retention by default.
- Emails unrelated to a contractual relationship: no longer than twelve months after the last exchange. Contract-related or legally required communications are retained for the periods necessary for the relationship, applicable obligations and limitation periods.
