This is a translation of the French version, which prevails in the event of any discrepancy.

1.4 Intellectual property

The trademarks, logos, texts, photographs, videos and other content on this website belong to the YoD eSports association or its partners and are protected by the French Intellectual Property Code. Any full or partial reproduction or reuse without the association’s prior written consent is prohibited, except where permitted by law (short quotation, private use).

1.5 Hyperlinks

You may link to this website provided the link does not harm the association’s image; the association may ask for a link to be removed. Third-party websites linked from yod-esports.org are outside its control and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

1.6 Liability

The association strives to provide accurate, up-to-date information and to keep the website available, but cannot guarantee this at all times (maintenance, outages, force majeure). Its liability may only be engaged within the limits set by law.

1.7 Shop

2. Privacy policy

2.1 Data controller

The controller of your data is the YoD eSports association, represented by its president, at the contact details given in 1.1. The association has not appointed a data protection officer; for any question, write to contact@yod-esports.org.

2.2 Data processed, purposes, legal bases and retention periods

Mandatory form fields are marked with an asterisk: without them, the association cannot process your request. No automated decision-making or profiling is carried out using your data.

2.3 Recipients

Your data is only accessible to authorised board members and volunteers of the association. It may also be processed by:

• our hosting provider, o2switch, in France;
• the providers of services embedded in the website, only if you consent: Google (reCAPTCHA, YouTube, Google Fonts where applicable), Twitch, Meta (Facebook, Instagram), X, TikTok;
• administrative or judicial authorities, where required by law.

The association does not sell or rent your personal data.

2.4 Transfers outside the European Union

The website and the Matomo audience measurement are hosted in France. However, some embedded third-party services (Google, Twitch, Meta, X, TikTok) may transfer data to countries outside the European Union, in particular the United States. These transfers only take place after you consent and are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or otherwise by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

2.5 Minors

Under French law, a minor under 15 cannot give consent alone to processing based on consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies): their legal guardian’s agreement is required. A minor’s membership of the association and participation in competitions require their legal guardian’s authorisation.

2.6 Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

• right of access to your data;
• right to rectify inaccurate data;
• right to erasure;
• right to restriction of processing;
• right to object to processing based on legitimate interest;
• right to portability of the data you provided;
• right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before the withdrawal;
• right to set instructions regarding what happens to your data after your death.

To exercise these rights, write to contact@yod-esports.org or by post to the association’s registered office. Proof of identity will only be requested if there is reasonable doubt about your identity. The association will reply within one month, which may be extended by two months for complex requests; you will be informed if so.

To unsubscribe from email communications, use the unsubscribe link included in every message.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority: www.cnil.fr/fr/plaintes, or CNIL, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France. You may also contact the data protection authority of your country of residence.

2.7 Security

The association implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data: encrypted connection (HTTPS), access restricted to authorised persons only, and regular website updates.

3. Cookies and trackers

A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to work (storing your consent choices, language, security) are set without your consent. All others (statistics cookies, third-party content, social networks, reCAPTCHA) are only set after you consent, via the banner shown on your first visit.

You can accept, refuse or customise your choices by category; refusing is as easy as accepting and does not prevent you from using the website. Your choice is kept for 6 months, after which the banner is shown again. Cookies have a maximum lifespan of 13 months. When third-party content is blocked, a message lets you enable it on a one-off basis.

3.2 Audience measurement with Matomo

The website uses Matomo, an audience measurement tool hosted on our own servers in France: no data is passed on to third parties. By default, Matomo works without cookies and with anonymised IP addresses. If you accept the “Statistics” category, an audience measurement cookie is set for up to 13 months to improve the accuracy of the statistics.

You can opt out of being counted in the statistics at any time:
