France Routebook
Privacy policy.
Last updated November 9, 2026.
France Routebook is published by MicroDev, which is responsible for the processing described here. Write to hello@franceroutebook.com about anything on this page. We collect as little as we can, we never sell personal data, and the site shows no advertising.
Reading the site
You can read every page without an account. The site sets no cookies of its own.
Audience measurement. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and no local storage, and does not build a profile of you. It records aggregate figures such as the page viewed, the referring site, the browser type, the country and page load times. We use these figures only to see which pages help readers.
Hosting. Cloudflare hosts the site and, like any web host, processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.
The free checklist and planning emails
When you ask for the France Trip Checklist, we collect your email address. You confirm it by clicking a link, which also records the date and time of your consent. We use the address to send you the checklist and occasional France Routebook planning emails: new guides, updated entry rules, seasonal advice. The legal basis is your consent.
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can also write to us. Once you unsubscribe we stop emailing you and delete the address, or keep only what we need to honor the unsubscribe. Without any activity, we delete addresses after three years.
The list is managed with Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), a French email service that stores the data in the European Union and processes it only on our instructions. Brevo measures whether an email is opened and which links are clicked, so we can tell which advice is useful.
Buying a field guide
Payments go through Stripe. Stripe collects your card details directly; we never see them. We receive your name, email address, country and the payment status, which we use to deliver the guide, answer support requests and meet our accounting obligations. Stripe’s own privacy policy applies to the payment itself. Buying does not add you to the planning emails.
Links to booking sites
Some hotel and rental links pass through Stay22 or Discover Cars before reaching a booking site, so the partner can attribute a booking to France Routebook. Those services may set cookies or record the click on their own sites under their own privacy policies. Nothing about you is sent to them from our pages beyond the click itself. See how we earn money.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to receive a copy of it, to restrict or object to its use, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Write to hello@franceroutebook.com; we reply within one month. If you think we have not respected your rights, you can complain to the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr).
Some of our providers are based in the United States. Where data leaves the European Union, they rely on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
