Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 16, 2026

1. Data controller

CIEL NOIR SAS, SIREN 940 193 444, 5 rue du Chevalier de Saint-George, 75008 Paris, France, is the controller of the personal data processed on pluginfinder.ai. Contact: [email protected].

2. Data we collect

• E-mail address — only if you enter it yourself, either to subscribe to the newsletter, or on the screen telling you that none of our Partners covers your need yet, so that we can let you know when one does.
• Questionnaire answers — your answers are used solely to generate the plugin recommendation. They are not linked to your identity and do not constitute personal data.
• Technical logs — our hosting provider (OVH) and our content delivery and security provider (Cloudflare) may process standard connection data (IP address, timestamps) for security purposes.

We do not collect any other personal data. We do not use advertising trackers.

3. Purposes and legal basis

• Sending the newsletter (promotions, new releases, free tools from our Partners) — legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• Letting you know when a Partner covers a need we could not answer — legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• Service improvement and security — legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Data retention

Your e-mail address is kept until you unsubscribe or, when left on the “no Partner covers this” screen, until we have written to you or you ask for its deletion. A newsletter subscription that is not confirmed within 30 days (by clicking the link in the confirmation e-mail) is deleted. When you unsubscribe, your address is kept on a suppression list for 3 years, for the sole purpose of not e-mailing you again should it be entered a second time; it is then deleted. Server logs are kept for the periods required by applicable law.

5. Recipients and transfers

Your data is not sold, rented or transferred to third parties. It may be processed by our technical service providers (hosting, e-mail delivery) acting as processors under Art. 28 GDPR, within the European Union.

Traffic to the Website passes through Cloudflare, Inc. (San Francisco, USA), which protects it against attacks and abusive automated traffic and, to do so, processes technical connection data as our processor. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; its privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

6. Your rights

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the French Data Protection Act, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object to the processing of your data, as well as the right to data portability and the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, write to [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).

7. Cookies

The Website does not use advertising cookies. Only trackers strictly necessary for the operation of the service may be set. Partner websites, reached through affiliate links, apply their own cookie policies, which you are invited to review.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The applicable version is the one published on the Website on the date of your visit.
