What we process, why and for how long
| Processing | Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website hosting | IP address, browser, page requested, date and time (server logs) | Serving the pages and keeping the site secure | At most 6 months |
| Audience measurement (Cloudflare Web Analytics) | Page viewed, referring page, type of browser and device, country; no cookie, no identifier stored on your device | Knowing which pages are read, in aggregated figures | Aggregated statistics, with no IP address or identifier |
| Counting visits coming from our emails | Only if the link carries an src parameter: that campaign code, and your IP address | Counting one visit per person per day for each mailing | IP address automatically erased after 2 days; afterwards, only totals per mailing, per hour and per day |
| Messages you send us (form or email) | Your address, your name if given, the content of the message | Replying to you and handling your request, including a request to exercise your rights | 3 years after the last exchange |
The listings link to third-party sites (firms, registers) whose practices are not covered by this policy.
Cookies and trackers
The site sets no cookie and uses no advertising tracker. Audience measurement works without cookies or any identifier stored on your device; this is why no consent banner is shown.
Recipients and processors
GoDaddy (site hosting), Cloudflare (audience measurement, server and storage for the visit count), Resend (sending the contact form messages) and Google (the Gmail inbox that receives them). No data is sold, rented or handed over.
Mexican data protection law
Payotte is operated from Canada. In Mexico, the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares was issued as a new law and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) on 20 March 2025; the text published by the Chamber of Deputies shows a last reform of 14 November 2025. The decree that issued it provides that it enters into force the day after its publication and repeals the law of 5 July 2010. The law names the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno as the authority («Secretaría», article 2). Whether and how the law applies to Payotte is a legal question that this page does not settle.
Where data is processed

Your rights
You may ask for access to your data, its correction, its erasure, the restriction of processing, and object to processing based on Payotte's legitimate interests, by writing to gregory@payotte.com. We reply within one month at most. Mexican law calls the rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition the ARCO rights (articles 21 to 26 of the law). If you are not satisfied, you can first write to us again, and then refer the matter to the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno, which the law designates for requests for the protection of data (article 40). We have not checked the Secretaría's current online procedure: refer to its official website for it.
