Privacy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

In short

The site sets no cookies, shows no ads and loads no tracking tools. We never sell or rent your data. We only receive what you send us (form, e-mail) and what any server receives to display a page.

Controller

Mirage Bleu Jules-Emile Vanhalle (sole proprietorship), Rue du Vully 27, 2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland. For any question about your data: contact@miragebleu.ch.

Visiting the site

The site is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, Geneva, on servers in Switzerland. Like any web server, it records each request in a log: IP address, date and time, page requested, referring page and browser type. The log keeps the site running and protects it from abuse; it is deleted automatically after about a month.

The site’s fonts and scripts come from that same server: the site never calls Google Fonts or any third-party advertising or statistics service.

Images and videos are served from media.miragebleu.ch by bunny.net (BunnyWay d.o.o., Slovenia). The files are stored in Frankfurt (Germany) and reach you through the server of its network closest to you (in Switzerland if you are there). That server receives your IP address in order to send them; bunny.net keeps only an anonymised version of it in its logs.

Project requests and e-mails

The “Start a project” form asks for the type of project, your name, your e-mail, a description of the project and, if you wish, your phone number. It also records the page language and the time taken to fill it in, and your message is checked automatically, to keep robots and spam out. We use this data only to answer you, send you a proposal and a quote and, if you entrust us with the project, to carry it out.

Your request reaches our hosting (Infomaniak, Switzerland), then it is sent to our mailbox (Infomaniak, Switzerland) and to our internal contact management tool, on our own server in Switzerland. A request that could not be passed on to that tool yet stays at most 180 days on the hosting, then it is deleted. To limit repeated submissions we do not store your IP address: only an irreversible fingerprint derived from it is kept for 24 hours.

We keep your request and our exchanges as long as needed to answer it and follow up on the project. If it leads to an assignment, we keep the documents needed for the accounts for the legal period of ten years. Otherwise we delete your request at the latest two years after our last exchange. The same applies if you write to us directly by e-mail.

Videos and music players

Vimeo videos and Spotify or Apple Music players only load after you click. A few short, silent, looping clips are played from Vimeo (Vimeo.com, Inc., United States) as soon as they appear on screen: Vimeo then receives your IP address in order to send them to you. They do not load if your device asks for reduced motion or data saving. Vimeo is always called with its “do not track” option (dnt), which turns off session tracking and its cookies.

When you start a Spotify (Spotify AB, Sweden) or Apple Music (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Ireland) player, that service receives your IP address and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy rules. The links to our social networks are plain links: no button or content from those networks is loaded on the site.

Storage in your browser

If your browser is set to another language, the site offers the English or French version of the page and never redirects you. When you switch language or close that offer, your choice is saved in your browser (local storage, no cookie).

To carry an image from one page to the next, the site also keeps the address of the page you leave and of the page you open for a moment (session storage); they are deleted as soon as the new page shows. None of this is sent to anyone, and you can clear it all in your browser settings.

Analytics

The site does not measure its audience for now. If we do, it will be without cookies, with a tool installed on our own server in Switzerland, and we will update this page.

Data abroad

The site, the form, our mailbox and our management tool are hosted in Switzerland. Your IP address may however reach bunny.net (Slovenia, European Union) and Vimeo (United States) and, if you start their players, Spotify (Sweden) or Apple (Ireland). The Swiss Federal Council recognises that European Union countries provide adequate data protection; Vimeo is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, recognised by Switzerland since 15 September 2024.

Your rights

You may ask which data we hold about you, get a copy of it, have it corrected or deleted, and withdraw the consent given in the form at any time. Write to contact@miragebleu.ch; we answer within 30 days, free of charge.

If you believe your data is mishandled, you can also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) in Bern: edoeb.admin.ch.

If the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to you, you may also object to the processing, ask for it to be restricted and complain to the data protection authority of your country. We then process your data to take steps towards a contract at your request (form and e-mails, Art. 6(1)(b)), on our legitimate interest in displaying and protecting the site (logs, media, video clips, Art. 6(1)(f)) and with your consent for the players you start (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Changes

We update this statement when the site or our tools change; the version published here applies.
