Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal data PingDX collects, why, how long it is kept, and how to exercise your rights (GDPR, EU Regulation 2016/679). The French version prevails.
Data controller
The data controller is the site's publisher (see Legal notice). For any question about your data: julien@lequen.fr.
Data we collect
We only collect what the service needs:
- Account: e-mail address, password (stored hashed), radio callsign(s), display name, on-air handle.
- Radio profile: Maidenhead locator and, if you provide it, your precise location (latitude/longitude), country, equipment (radios, antennas), avatar, bio.
- Logbook: your QSOs (radio contacts) with date, frequency/band, callsigns and related location data.
- Communications: private messages sent/received, club posts and comments, contact book, watchlists.
- Technical data: IP address, user agent, last-seen date, for security and diagnostics.
Purposes and legal bases
- Providing the service (account, logbook, cluster, messaging, clubs, eQSL) — basis: performance of the contract.
- Security, abuse prevention and moderation — basis: legitimate interest.
- Aggregated, internal usage statistics — basis: legitimate interest.
- Optional notifications and e-mails (mentions, messages, news…) — basis: your consent, revocable anytime in your settings.
Recipients
Your data is never sold or rented. It may be processed by strictly necessary technical sub-processors: hosting provider OVH, e-mail delivery provider OVH, push-notification service. Information you choose to make public (callsign, public profile, posts) is visible to other members.
Retention
Your data is kept while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time (Profile › Privacy › Delete my account), which erases your data. Technical logs and data linked to an inactive account are kept for at most one (1) year.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability:
- Access and portability: export all your data as JSON from Profile › Privacy › Download my data.
- Erasure: delete your account from Profile › Privacy.
- Other requests: julien@lequen.fr.
You may also lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority (in France, the CNIL — www.cnil.fr).
