This Privacy Policy explains how Brico Loco handles personal information when you visit https://www.brico-loco.com, contact us, or interact with website features. It is intended to provide a clear overview of the website’s current practices.
Who we are
Brico Loco is an editorial website publishing practical DIY, repair, tool, home-improvement, and garden content. For privacy questions or requests, use the private form on our Contact page.
Information we may collect
- Messages you send: your email address, name if supplied, message content, and any other information you choose to include.
- Comments: if comments are available and you submit one, WordPress may collect the information entered in the comment form, together with technical anti-spam information.
- Technical records: the hosting, caching, and security systems may process IP addresses, browser details, requested URLs, timestamps, and diagnostic or security events.
- Usage information: where permitted by your consent choices, analytics tools may collect information about visits and interactions with the site.
How we use information
We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, review corrections, understand site performance, prevent abuse, meet legal obligations, and maintain our editorial records. The applicable legal basis depends on the context and may include consent, legitimate interests, performance of a requested service, or a legal obligation.
Contact form and private inbox
The Contact page uses Contact Form 7 to process submissions and Flamingo to save them as private inbound-message and contact records inside WordPress. The form is configured not to send submissions to a personal email address. These records are not published; access is limited to authorized WordPress users who need them to review and respond to requests.
A saved record contains the name, email address, subject, message, and consent choice you submit. WordPress and its security tooling may also retain the submission time and technical data such as the originating IP address or browser information for operation and abuse prevention.
Cookies and analytics
Brico Loco uses WordPress and related services that may set essential cookies for security, preferences, or website operation. Google services connected through Site Kit may provide audience and performance measurement when enabled and permitted by your consent choices. The cookie banner is the primary place to review or change available consent settings.
You can also restrict or delete cookies through your browser. Doing so may affect some website features.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may include links to or embedded content from other websites. Embedded content can behave as though you visited the external provider directly, and that provider may collect data or use cookies under its own privacy policy. Brico Loco is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Who may process information
Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, security, caching, analytics, email, and content delivery. Current website tooling includes WordPress, OVH hosting infrastructure, Google services connected through Site Kit, and consent management provided through Complianz. Providers process information under their own terms and applicable data-protection obligations.
Retention and security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to messages, maintaining security records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary by type of record and service provider.
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, and to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
To make a request, use the private form on our Contact page. We may need enough information to identify the relevant records and verify that the request is legitimate.
Children’s privacy
Brico Loco is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. Please do not send personal information about a child through the website or otherwise.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, its services, or applicable requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest published version.
