Who is responsible

Mimicolor is published by Ismail Lahrichi, sole trader (entrepreneur individuel, EI), publishing under the brand Mimicolor, 41 boulevard Charles de Gaulle, 92700 Colombes, France (SIRET 533 410 130 00033). For any question about your data, write to [email protected].

Browsing the site

There is no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking on Mimicolor. The site sets no cookies, except one if you sign in to your account (see below).

Our host, Cloudflare, processes technical data such as your IP address and the pages you request, to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. These logs are kept for a short time.

The site keeps a few small items in your own browser, never sent to anyone else: the access key to your photo book order, so you can come back to your order page; the email you typed to receive a sign-in link, until you sign in; and whether you closed the language bar, for the current visit only.

If you arrive through a link carrying a campaign tag (such as utm_source=pinterest) or from another website, your browser also remembers that source, for example “pinterest” or “google”, for 30 days, and it is sent with your order if you buy something. We use it only to count which channels bring orders, in totals; it is not shared with any advertising service and is deleted with the order. When you arrive, the page also sends us that source (or “direct”) and the address of the page you landed on, so we can count visits per channel; nothing else about you or your device is kept with it, and these counts are deleted after 45 days.

Free coloring pages and coloring online

Downloading, printing or coloring online needs no account and no personal data. Pictures you color online stay in your browser and are only saved to your device when you click Save.

Photo coloring books

When you order a photo coloring book, we collect:

  • your photos (4 to 24): location data and other hidden information in the files are removed as soon as they arrive;
  • the book title and, if you add them, the name on the cover and the dedication;
  • your email address and the paper size you chose;
  • a shortened code computed from your IP address, used only to limit abuse of the free preview;
  • for a printed book: the delivery name, address and phone number you enter on the payment page.

We use this data only to make your book, deliver it and contact you about your order. Your photos are never published, sold or used for advertising.

Your photos are turned into coloring pages by Google Cloud's Vertex AI service. Under Google Cloud's terms, Google does not use this data to train its AI models. Photos, pages and order details are stored on Google Cloud servers in Belgium (European Union).

Everything is deleted automatically 30 days after your order: photos, coloring pages, book files and order details (if you have an account, your book's PDF and the order details are kept 12 months, see below). To delete it sooner, write to [email protected] with the order number shown on your order page. Payment and accounting records are kept as long as the law requires (10 years for accounting documents in France).

Photos of other people: you may only upload photos you have the right to use, with the agreement of the people shown, or of their parents for children. Orders must be placed by an adult.

Your account

Creating an account is optional. If you do, we keep your email address, the dates you created the account and last signed in, and the list of photo books and PDF books bought with that email. Sign-in links are sent by Google Identity Platform (Google Cloud), which stores your email address for that purpose. If you choose “Continue with Google”, Google tells us only your email address and that it is verified: we don't receive your name, photo, contacts or anything else from your Google account, and Google's own privacy policy applies to what happens on Google's side. Signing in sets one cookie, mimi_session, which keeps you signed in for 30 days; it is needed for the account to work and is never used for tracking. During a Google sign-in, a second cookie, mimi_oauth, checks for 10 minutes that the answer from Google belongs to your visit, and is then deleted.

If you buy a gift card, we keep your email address, the first names and the message written on the card, its code and whether it was used, until 12 months after the card's end date, so that the card can be used and we can answer questions about it. The person who uses the card then orders a book like any customer.

With an account, the PDF of each photo book stays available for 12 months (your photos are still deleted after 30 days), and your PDF books stay available as long as the account exists. From the account page you can download your data or delete your account at any time; deleting it also deletes your photo books and their files. Accounts with no sign-in for 3 years are deleted.

Payment, printing and delivery

Payments are handled by Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ireland), which collects your payment details directly: we never see your card number.

Printed books are made and shipped by Gelato (Gelato AS, Norway) and its print partners, usually in or near your country. Gelato receives the print file of your book and your delivery name, address, phone number and email, to print the book and hand it to the carrier.

Who receives your data, and where

  • Cloudflare (website hosting and security): United States, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework;
  • Google Cloud (order server, storage in Belgium, AI drawing, sign-in emails): Google Cloud France SARL, Paris; some processing may take place outside the EU under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses;
  • Stripe (payments): Stripe Payments Europe, Ireland;
  • Gelato and its print partners (printing and delivery), in the delivery country when it is outside the EU (United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, Canada).

Legal bases

We process your data to carry out your order (contract), to protect the site and prevent abuse (legitimate interest), and to keep accounting records (legal obligation).

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format, by writing to [email protected]. We answer within one month. You can also complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr).
