Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-15. This policy explains what everydayfrench.fr collects, why, and what you can do about it.

Who is responsible

This site is run by Aurélie (Everyday French). If you have any question about your data, or want to exercise any of the rights below, email aurelie@everydayfrench.fr.

What we collect, and why

The newsletter

If you subscribe, we store your email address. We use it only to send you the newsletter. It is sent with Mailjet, which stores it on our behalf. We ask for your explicit consent before subscribing you, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. We keep your address until you unsubscribe.

The free level test

If you enter your email to see your result, we store your email address, your level, and your answers so we can show you the result and, if you agreed to it, send you advice matched to it. If you would rather we deleted this, just ask.

Exercises, flashcards and pronunciation

No account is needed to practise. Without one, your progress is saved in your own browser (local storage) and is not sent to us; clearing your browser data clears it. We do record anonymous results of finished exercises (the score and the answers given, with no name or email attached) to see which exercises work and which questions are too hard.

Student accounts (optional)

You can create a free account on My space with your email address (we send you a sign-in code; there is no password), or with Google if that option is shown. We then store your email address, the first name you give, your exercise results and answers, your flashcards progress, and the homework Aurélie gives you, so you can follow your progress on any device and Aurélie can follow your work and your mistakes. A level test taken with the same address is attached to your account. If you take lessons with Aurélie, she may link your account to her lesson calendar to see your next lesson. You can delete your account at any time from My space; your past results are then kept only anonymously.

If you use the pronunciation recorder, the recording is processed in your browser so you can compare yourself with the model audio. It is not uploaded unless you explicitly save it.

Comments

If you leave a comment, WordPress stores the name and email you type, your IP address, and your browser’s user agent, to help detect spam.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which resources people actually use, so we can make more of what helps. It sets cookies and tells Google about your visit. It only runs if you accept it in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time from that banner.

Embedded content from other sites

Some pages embed content from Spotify (the podcast), Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Those services can see that you loaded their content and may set their own cookies, exactly as if you had visited them directly. We don’t control what they collect — their own privacy policies apply.

Server logs

Our host, Hostinger, keeps standard server logs (including IP addresses) for security and troubleshooting.

Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies make the site work — including one that remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. Analytics cookies only load with your consent. The cookie banner lets you review or withdraw that consent whenever you like.

Who your data is shared with

We don’t sell your data and we don’t share it for advertising. It is handled on our behalf by: Mailjet (newsletter), Google (analytics, and sign-in if you choose it), and Hostinger (hosting, and the sign-in and homework emails). Embedded content is served by the platforms named above.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, hand it over in a portable form, or stop using it — and you can withdraw consent at any time. Email aurelie@everydayfrench.fr and we’ll deal with it. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
