What this site collects
We went through it all, and the list is short. The site has no cookie, no analytics and no account to create, just a contact form, and this page explains what we do with it.
Last updated: 14 August 2026
Who is responsible for this data
Akiani, a simplified joint-stock company registered with the Bordeaux Trade and Companies Register under number 795 068 667, with its registered office at 2 rue Marc Sangnier, building 4A, 2nd floor, 33130 Bègles, France.
For any question about your data, write to hello@akiani.fr, or by post to the address above.
This site sets no tracker
No cookie, no pixel, no tag, no analytics, no share button calling a social network. The site is served as static pages and embeds no third-party script. So there is nothing for you to accept or refuse when you arrive, which is why no banner greets you.
One exception, and it has to be stated as it is: one blog article embeds a YouTube video in an iframe, in French as well as in English. It loads when you scroll down to it, without asking you, and YouTube may then set its own cookies. It is the only place on the site where a third party receives anything you did not ask for. We are fixing it: the video will go through a thumbnail that only loads the player on click.
If we ever add analytics, this page will be updated before that goes live.
What we collect when you write to us
The form on the contact page asks for your name and email address, both required so that we can reply. It also offers your company, your role, your phone number and your contact preference, all optional, then you choose the purpose of your message, between a project enquiry, a request for information about a training course, a conversation or a job application.
For a project enquiry, a training enquiry or a conversation, we use your details to reply and to carry on the conversation. The legal basis is your consent, which you give by ticking the box before sending. We keep these messages for as long as it takes to handle the request, then for as long as the relationship that may follow lasts. After that we delete them.
For a job application, we use your message to consider your profile, and we keep it for as long as that takes. You can ask us to delete it sooner. The form accepts no attachment: if you send us a CV, it comes by return email, and the same rule applies to it.
When your message is sent, an automatic acknowledgement comes back to the address you gave. It does not repeat the content of your message.
The form also contains a hidden field designed to catch spam robots. If you fill it in, the message is not forwarded. That field collects nothing about you.
Where this data goes
Your message leaves the server of our hosting company, OVH SAS, in France, then arrives in our mailboxes, which are provided by Google (Google Workspace). Nothing is stored on the site itself: no database, no file.
At Akiani, these messages land in the hello@akiani.fr inbox, read by the people who can answer you. Your data is neither sold, nor rented, nor traded. No other provider is involved in processing the form: no third-party sending service, no analytics tool, no external captcha.
What we do not do
We make no automated decisions and we do no profiling. Your messages are read by someone on the team, with no automatic sorting or scoring.
We collect no sensitive data within the meaning of the GDPR: no health, origin, opinion or orientation data. If you share any spontaneously in a message, we will ask you to rephrase or we will delete the passage.
Your rights, and how we handle them
The GDPR gives you the right to access your data (Article 15), to have it corrected (Article 16), to have it erased (Article 17), to restrict its processing (Article 18), to object to its processing (Article 21) and to receive it in a reusable format (Article 20). You can withdraw your consent at any time (Article 7(3)), and set out what happens to your data after your death (Article 85 of the French Data Protection Act).
To exercise any of these rights, write to hello@akiani.fr. The GDPR gives us one month to reply, and we will only ask for proof of identity if a genuine doubt exists about the identity of the person asking.
If our answer does not satisfy you, you can refer the matter to the French data protection authority, the CNIL, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, or file a complaint on cnil.fr (opens in new window).
Security
The site is served over HTTPS and access to the mailboxes is password protected.
We are not going to promise you absolute security, because no transmission over the internet offers any. If an incident affected your data, we would tell you and tell you what to do, within the deadlines the GDPR sets.
Links to other sites
The site links to sites we do not control, those of our clients and the standards we quote. Once you are there, their policy applies, not ours.
