Privacy

Your Data, Our Responsibility

This page explains how KOHSTO manages technical signals, audience measurement, and monetization to deliver a transparent and privacy-respectful experience.

Minimal Data Collection

Browsing KOHSTO’s catalogues is completely free and requires no account. We only retain the technical events necessary for the site to function properly.

No registration, profile, or payment information is ever requested.
Server logs only contain anonymous technical events (request, country, device type).
Support messages remain stored only in the email inbox used for communication.

Responsible Analytics

Statistics are used exclusively to understand the overall usage of KOHSTO and to improve the service experience.

Dashboards rely on aggregated, anonymized metrics (page views, sessions, countries).
No link is made to individual profiles or marketing identifiers.
Refusing analytics does not limit your access to any feature of the service.

Transparent Monetization

The project’s funding follows the commitments detailed in the Legal Notice section.

Google AdSense ads appear only after your explicit consent.
Affiliate links to VPN or VOD platforms are clearly labeled and lead directly to verified partners.
‘Buy Me a Coffee’ donations are optional and processed through their own secure payment systems.

Hosting & Security

The service runs on Vercel’s infrastructure, with strictly limited operational access.

Hosting: Vercel Inc., with data processing distributed between the EU and the US as needed.
Operational monitoring is managed from France by KOHSTO’s maintainer.
Incident management is carried out in coordination with Vercel support when necessary.

Your Rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you may exercise the following rights at any time:

Access, correct, or delete technical data linked to your usage.
Withdraw your consent for advertising or analytics without affecting access to the site.

Consent Management
