Site architecture — no direct data collection
zen-paris.org is a static site generated with Astro. It has no contact form, no member area, no shopping cart, and no database. No personal information is entered, stored, or transmitted to a server through this site.
Hosting — Vercel
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (340 Pine Street, Suite 700, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA). Like any web server, Vercel automatically logs HTTP requests: visitor IP address, browser, requested URL, timestamp. These technical logs are retained according to Vercel's privacy policy. Data transfers to the United States are governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Analytics — Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights
This site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, two traffic and performance analysis services provided by Vercel Inc.
These tools operate without cookies and without persistent identifiers. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised: pages visited, approximate country of origin, device and browser type, performance metrics (LCP, FCP, CLS). No individual profile is built. Learn more: Vercel analytics privacy policy.
Local preferences — browser storage
The site uses your browser's local storage (localStorage),
not cookies. This data stays on your device and is never sent to a server.
Three preferences are saved:
- Theme (light or dark) — key
theme - Display language (French or English) — key
zen-lang - CTA button state (shown only once) — key
ctaSeen
You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage (settings → privacy → site data).
Fonts — self-hosted
This site uses the Inclusive Sans typeface, loaded from our own
servers via the @fontsource-variable/inclusive-sans package.
No request is sent to Google Fonts or any other third-party
service to load fonts.
Embedded YouTube videos
Some pages include YouTube videos as embedded iframes (notably the pages on meditative walking kin-hin and on Josy Thibaut). When these pages load, your browser connects to YouTube (Google LLC) servers to display the video, even if you do not play it. YouTube may then collect your IP address, browser information, and, if you are signed in to a Google account, identify you. This data is subject to Google's privacy policy. We have no control over this processing.
Embedded map — OpenStreetMap
The dojo map displayed in the sidebar is embedded directly via an iframe provided by OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation, OSMF). When the page loads, your browser connects to OpenStreetMap tile servers to display the map. OSMF may log your IP address and browser information. This data is subject to OpenStreetMap Foundation's privacy policy. We have no control over this processing.
External links to third-party services
Some pages contain links to external services. These links only activate if you click on them; simply viewing the page generates no connection to these services.
- OpenStreetMap — links to retreat venue locations. By clicking, you are subject to OpenStreetMap Foundation's privacy policy.
- Google Calendar — link to add sessions to your calendar. Same policy applies.
- YouTube — link to Master Kosen's audio archive channel. By visiting YouTube, you are subject to Google/YouTube's privacy policy.
Your rights (GDPR)
Since this site does not collect or retain personal data about you directly, the rights of access, rectification, and deletion provided by the GDPR apply primarily to the third-party providers mentioned above (Vercel, Google, OpenStreetMap Foundation).
