How Cartouche handles your information

Cartouche is a legacy-book service published by Altoria Digital, the trading name of a French sole trader registered in Paris under SIREN 909 750 390, with its registered office at 47 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France. Altoria Digital is the controller responsible for your information. Full company details are in our legal notice. For anything about your data, write to contact@cartouchebooks.com.

Waitlist details. When you reserve a place, we collect your email address and who the book is for. We use this only to let you know when Cartouche opens and to understand our early audience. Our basis is your consent — you chose to send the form.

Interest signals. When you click a price button or join the waitlist, we record the action so we can measure demand. If you arrived from one of our ads, the Meta (Facebook) pixel notes the event so we can tell which ads work. This may involve cookies set by Meta.

Orders and payment. When you buy an edition, the payment is taken by Stripe, which acts as merchant of record. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us — we only receive the order: your name, email, what you bought and, for printed books, the delivery address we need to ship them.

The memories you share. To write the book we hold the material you send us — answers, notes, recordings, photographs. It is used for that book and nothing else, it is never used to advertise, and we never publish a word of it without asking you first.

Only the tools that make this page run:

• Supabase — stores the waitlist and event data on our behalf.
• Meta Platforms (Facebook, Instagram) — receives advertising events through the Meta pixel, so we can measure our ads.

That is the whole list. We never sell your information.

We keep your waitlist details until we launch and invite you — or until you ask us to remove them, whichever comes first. Aggregate interest data is kept so we can understand demand over time.

You can ask to see, correct, or delete your information, or to leave the waitlist, at any time — just email contact@cartouchebooks.com and we'll take care of it promptly.

US state privacy rights. Using the Meta pixel to measure our ads counts as "sharing" your information for targeted advertising. Our pixel is off by default — it runs only if you accept cookies, so if you decline (or simply don't accept), nothing is shared with Meta. If you live in California — or another US state with similar rights — you can also opt out any time by emailing us or by declining cookies. We never sell your information for money, and you can block the pixel entirely through your browser or ad-blocker settings.

The Meta pixel may set cookies to measure ad performance, and it only runs if you accept when you first arrive. We don't use cookies for anything else, and you can change your choice anytime with Cookie choices at the bottom of any page.

This page isn't meant for anyone under 16.

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
