Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Medsteer SAS (« we, » « us, » or « our ») handles information in connection with your use of www.medsteer.com (the « Site »).

The Site provides scientific and technical information intended primarily for use by researchers and professionals in the healthcare sector. It does not offer e-commerce, user accounts, or general public services.

We designed this Site to collect as little personal data as possible. This policy describes what little we do collect and why.

1. Who We Are

www.medsteer.com is operated by Medsteer SAS, RCS 528545783 Pontoise, France.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

If the Site includes a contact form, mailing list signup, or similar feature, we collect only what you submit — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.

We do not require registration or an account to access the Site’s content.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure and/or web server logs may automatically record:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Referring page
• Date, time, and pages visited

This information is collected for basic security, troubleshooting, and understanding aggregate usage (e.g., which pages are most read). It is not used to build individual profiles of visitors.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

This Site does not use cookies, analytics tools, or third-party trackers.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information described above only to:

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site
• Respond to inquiries submitted via contact forms
• Understand general usage patterns to improve content
• Comply with legal obligations, if any arise

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information to third parties. We do not use information for advertising or behavioral targeting.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (for visitors in the EU and EEA)

Where applicable under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal basis for processing is:

• Legitimate interest — for server logs and basic security monitoring
• Consent — for any optional mailing list or contact form submission
• Contract or pre-contractual steps — if you request information or collaboration directly

5. Third-Party Services

The Site may be hosted by a third-party provider (e.g., OVH Cloud), which may process server logs as part of standard infrastructure operation. We encourage you to review that provider’s privacy policy.

If the Site links to external scientific databases, repositories, or journals, those third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

6. Data Retention

• Server logs are retained for 400 days for security purposes and then deleted or anonymized.
• Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond and are deleted after 36 months, unless ongoing correspondence requires longer retention.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of that data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@medsteer.com.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical measures (such as HTTPS encryption) to protect information transmitted to and from the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

This Site is intended for use by professionals and researchers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The « Last updated » date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted on this page.
