← What's on in Nice Privacy & legal

Privacy & legal

The short version: this is a small free site with no ads and no trackers. It asks for your email in two places and uses it for exactly the thing it said it would. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared with advertisers, and you can have any of it deleted by asking.

Two things to confirm before this goes live privacy@whatsonnice.com must actually deliver somewhere you read — set up the forwarding rule first, or this page promises a contact route that doesn't exist. And check which region your Supabase project sits in (Settings → General); if it is not the EU, correct the line in section 4. Then delete this box.

1 · Who is behind this site

What's on in Nice is published by an individual, not a company, as a personal non-commercial project. French law (the LCEN) lets a private individual publishing a non-professional site stay anonymous to the public, provided the host holds their full identity — which is the case here.

Host: GitHub, Inc. (GitHub Pages), 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States. DNS and caching by Cloudflare, Inc.

Contact for anything on this page: privacy@whatsonnice.com

This changes the day money arrives Under the LCEN, a site carrying advertising, sponsorship, affiliate links or any commercial activity is no longer a personal site. At that point full legal mentions become mandatory: name, status, address, SIREN once registered, and the publication director. So if sponsored listings ever appear here, this section has to be rewritten first, not afterwards.

2 · What is collected, and why

Only what a given feature actually needs. There is no account, no login, and no profile of you anywhere.

WhenWhatWhyLegal basisKept for
You add an event Your email address. Plus whatever you type about the event. To send you one confirmation link, so that only a real person who owns that address can put things on the site. It is never shown publicly. Legitimate interest — keeping the listings honest and spam-free 12 months after the event has passed
You report a bug Your message, the page you were on, and your email if you give it (optional) To understand and fix the problem, and to reply if you asked for one Legitimate interest — running the site 12 months
You say hi / join the weekly email Your email address, and the date you agreed To send you the weekly round-up of what's new, and nothing else Your consent — freely given, and withdrawable at any moment Until you unsubscribe
You photograph a poster The photo itself It is passed to an AI model that reads the text and fills in the form for you. The photo is not saved anywhere — it exists for the length of that one request and is then gone. Legitimate interest — providing the feature you just asked for Not stored
You simply visit Aggregate counts only: page views, rough country, which site sent you To know whether anyone is reading this. There are no cookies and no cross-site tracking, and you are not identified as an individual. Legitimate interest — basic audience measurement Aggregate figures only

3 · What never happens

4 · Who else touches the data

A handful of suppliers, each doing one job on instruction and nothing else:

Where a supplier is outside the EU, the transfer relies on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses in that supplier's terms.

5 · Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask, at any time, to: see what is held about you; correct it; delete it; restrict or object to its use; get a copy in a portable form; and withdraw consent for the weekly email — which you can also do in one click from the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every single one.

Email privacy@whatsonnice.com and it will be handled within a month, usually the same week. No form, no justification needed.

If you are not happy with how it was handled, you can complain to the CNIL, the French data protection authority: cnil.fr.

6 · Are you a source? Getting your events removed

This site gathers publicly listed events from tourist offices, museums, city agendas and specialist calendars, tidies them, and always links back to whoever is actually putting the event on. It is meant to send people to you, not to replace you.

If you run one of those sites or venues and would rather not be included, just say so and you are out — same day, no argument, no explanation required. Email privacy@whatsonnice.com or use the removal link on the home page. The same goes for a single event, a single venue, or everything from one source.

7 · Changes

If this notice changes in a way that matters, the date below changes with it, and anyone on the weekly email gets told.
