1. Who is responsible for your personal data?

This website, More Than Translation, presents translation services provided by Nadine Gandini, based in France.

For questions about this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, you can contact me at morethantranslation.mtt@gmail.com.

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I am responsible for the processing of personal data described in this policy.

2. What personal data do I collect and why?

Contact enquiries and quotations

When you contact me to enquire about translation services or request a quotation, I may process the information you provide, including your name, email address, company name, message and details of your project.

I use this information to respond to your enquiry, assess your requirements, prepare quotations and take steps towards a potential business relationship.

The legal basis for this processing is generally the taking of pre-contractual steps at your request. Where appropriate, processing may also be based on my legitimate interests in managing professional enquiries and business relationships.

Client communications and translation projects

If we enter into a business relationship, I may process your contact details, correspondence, project specifications, source documents, translated documents and other information necessary to provide the agreed services.

This information is used to perform the contract, communicate about the project, manage the business relationship, issue invoices and comply with applicable legal obligations.

The legal basis for processing may include the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations and, where appropriate, legitimate interests.

Please avoid sending sensitive or confidential information unless it is necessary for your project and appropriate arrangements have been agreed.

Website usage and cookies

This website uses a cookie-consent mechanism provided by CookieYes. Depending on the website features enabled and your choices, cookies and similar technologies may be used for essential website functions, preference management, analytics, performance or other purposes.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used only after you have given consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner or the website’s cookie-preference controls, where available.

The specific cookies, their purposes, providers and retention periods will be described in the applicable cookie information once the website’s cookie scan and configuration have been verified.

3. Who may receive your personal data?

Personal data may be accessed or processed by service providers where necessary to operate the website, respond to enquiries, protect the website, manage consent or provide my services.

Depending on the features enabled, these providers may include:

• WordPress.com / Automattic, for website hosting and related services.
• CookieYes, for cookie-consent management.
• Akismet, for spam detection where the relevant functionality is enabled.
• Jetpack, for the specific website features enabled.
• Gravatar, if profile-image or related functionality is used.
• Crowdsignal, if surveys, polls or forms provided by that service are used.

Other providers may be involved in business email, file storage, invoicing or project delivery, where applicable.

The actual services involved and the personal data they process will depend on the features used. Providers may act as processors on my behalf or as separate controllers for particular activities, depending on their role.

I do not sell your personal data.

4. International transfers of personal data

Some service providers may process personal data outside France or the European Economic Area, depending on the services used and their infrastructure.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, the applicable legal requirements will be observed. Where necessary, appropriate safeguards may include an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

The specific providers, transfer destinations and safeguards applicable to this website must be confirmed before this policy is finalised.

5. How long is personal data retained?

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations and the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

• Enquiries that do not lead to a project: retained for a limited period appropriate to managing the enquiry and any necessary follow-up.
• Client communications and project documents: retained for as long as necessary to provide the services and manage the professional relationship, subject to any applicable contractual or legal requirements.
• Invoices and accounting records: retained for the periods required by applicable law.
• Cookie-consent records: retained in accordance with the consent-management configuration and applicable requirements.

Specific retention periods will be determined according to the type of information, the purpose of processing and the applicable legal requirements. Personal data will be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed, unless it must be retained for a legitimate legal purpose.

6. How is personal data protected?

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or confidential information through ordinary website forms or email.

7. Your data protection rights

Under the GDPR, where applicable, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Request restriction of processing.
• Object to certain processing activities.
• Receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller, where the conditions for data portability are met.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• Lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions provided by applicable law.

To exercise your rights, contact me at [your professional email address]. Please provide sufficient information to allow me to identify the relevant data and respond to your request. Additional information may be required to verify your identity where necessary.

In France, you can also contact the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL), the French data protection authority, through its official website: https://www.cnil.fr/.

8. External links and third-party content

This website may contain links to external websites or, where applicable, embedded third-party content.

When you visit an external website or interact with embedded content, the relevant third party may process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy. Depending on the service, this may include technical information, cookies or information about your interactions.

Where embedded third-party services are used on this website, their relevant data-processing practices will be documented as appropriate.

9. Comments, accounts and other interactive features

If comments, user accounts, polls, surveys or other interactive features are enabled, the information submitted through those features may be processed to provide the functionality, manage submissions and prevent abuse.
