Data controller
The controller of the data collected on this site is root SAS, 229 rue Solférino, 59000 Lille, France. For any question regarding your data, you can write to contact [at] root.fr.
Data we collect
We apply the principle of data minimisation: we only collect the data that is strictly necessary.
Through the contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide: name, email address, company and the content of your message. No data is collected without your knowledge.
We also measure the site's audience, without identifying data (see the Audience measurement section below).
Purposes and legal basis
This data is used solely to respond to your request and to manage our relationship. The legal basis is your consent and the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Article 6 GDPR).
Hosting and data location
Your data is stored and processed by root SAS on its own sovereign infrastructure, located in France. It is never sold, rented or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.
Recipients
Your data is accessible only to authorised staff of root SAS handling your request. It is not shared with any third party without your consent, except where required by law.
Retention period
Your data is kept for as long as necessary to handle your request, then deleted or archived within a maximum of 3 years from the last contact.
Your rights
In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data.
You can exercise these rights at any time by writing to contact [at] root.fr. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
Cookies
This site uses no tracking or analytics cookies. Only strictly necessary technical cookies, such as storing your theme and language preference, may be set; they do not require your consent.
Audience measurement
This site measures its audience with a tool root SAS hosts itself, in France, on its own infrastructure. No third-party service takes part in this measurement. It is based on root SAS's legitimate interest in understanding how its site is used.
It works without cookies or any tracker stored on your device: your IP address is anonymised before processing, no advertising profile is built, no data is combined across sites, and your browser's Do Not Track signal is honoured. Raw data is deleted after 13 months; only aggregated statistics are kept.
With no cookies and nothing stored on your device, this measurement requires no consent, which is why this site shows no cookie banner.
