Privacy Policy

Last updated: 01/04/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Patchi (“the App”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use our website and application available at Patchi.

What data the App collects

At this stage, Patchi does not offer user accounts and does not intentionally collect registration data such as name, password, or profile information.

However, when you access the App, some technical data may be processed automatically through our hosting provider and infrastructure, Vercel, such as:

IP address ;
Browser and device information ;
Request and error logs ;
Date and time of access ;
Technical information necessary to deliver and secure the service.

When analytics are enabled for the production environment, the App also loads Umami Cloud, a privacy-focused analytics service, to measure aggregated usage of the website. Patchi is configured to use Umami Cloud with the Europe data region selected.

All data processing is subject to Vercel's privacy policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy

Why the app processes this data

The App processes this limited technical data for the following purposes:

To make the App available and function correctly;
To ensure security, stability, and troubleshooting;
To prevent abuse, malicious traffic, and technical incidents;
To maintain and improve the performance of the service;
To understand aggregated website usage and improve the product.

Legal basis

We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interests, namely:

Operating the website/application;
Ensuring security and reliability;
Detecting and resolving technical issues.

Hosting provider

The App is currently hosted by Vercel.

As part of hosting and delivery of the service, Vercel may process service-generated information such as log files, IP addresses, diagnostics, and usage-related technical data. Vercel describes these categories in its privacy documentation.

Hosting provider: Vercel Inc. 440 N Barranca Ave #4133 Covina, CA 91723 United States

You can also identify the host in your legal notice, which is distinct from the privacy policy but commonly linked alongside it.

Data recipients

Your data is only shared with recipients strictly necessary to operate the service, namely our hosting/infrastructure provider (Vercel) and, when analytics are enabled, our analytics provider (Umami Cloud);

We do not sell your personal data.

International data transfers

Because our service providers, including Vercel and Umami Cloud, may be located outside your country, your data may be processed outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where such transfers occur, the App relies on appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above.

In practice, technical logs and infrastructure data are retained for a limited period as required for security, debugging, and service continuity, or as determined by our hosting provider’s applicable retention settings.

Cookies and similar technologies

Patchi does not use advertising cookies.

When enabled in the production environment, Patchi uses Umami Cloud for privacy-focused audience measurement, with the Europe data region selected. Umami is configured to collect limited usage information such as visited pages, referrer, browser, device type, approximate country, and date/time of visit.

According to Umami's standard privacy-focused setup, these analytics are intended to avoid direct personal identification and to minimize the use of cookies. However, hosting and analytics providers may still process technical identifiers such as IP addresses or request metadata in order to deliver the service securely and reliably.

If we later change our analytics setup or add other trackers, this Privacy Policy and, where required, our cookie practices will be updated.

Your rights

If you are located in the European Union / European Economic Area, you have the right to:

Access your personal data;
Request rectification of inaccurate data;
Request erasure of your data, where applicable;
Request restriction of processing;
Object to certain processing;
Request portability of data, where applicable; lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact us at: privacy@patchi.io

Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we seek to limit risks through appropriate security practices.

Children’s privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the App, legal requirements, or our data practices.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.

Data controller

The data controller for the processing described in this Privacy Policy is Clément LACAÏLE.
