Privacy policy

Updated: 4 November 2026. Translation for information: the French version prevails.

Short version: this site uses no cookies and no analytics. Our software, Cotavue, Cotacut and Cotalot, runs on your computer and does not send your files.

Data controller

Thomas Goure, sole proprietor, trade name Cotanova. Contact: contact@cotanova.com.

On this site

• No cookies, no advertising, no analytics, no forms.
• Server logs: like any site, the host (OVH SAS, in France) records technical data on each visit (IP address, date, page requested, browser). They are used for the security and operation of the site, and kept by the host for the period required by law.
• Fonts: served by this site, with no third-party service.

When you write to us

If you write to contact@cotanova.com (question, beta, problem report), we receive your e-mail address and your message. They are used only to answer you and follow up your request (legal basis: your request). They are kept at most 3 years after our last exchange, in a mailbox hosted by OVH SAS in Europe. They are neither sold nor shared.

In our software

• Cotavue, Cotacut and Cotalot open your files on your computer. They send neither your drawings, nor your parts, nor your measurements, nor usage statistics.
• The licence key is checked on the computer, offline.
• In Cotavue, "Check for updates" opens the versions page of this site in your browser; your version number is in the address, so the page can tell you whether it is up to date.
• "Report a problem" prepares an e-mail in your mail app (software version, system, file name, unread items). Nothing is sent without you: you review it and send it yourself.

Your rights

You may ask for access to your data, its correction, its deletion or its portability, or object to its processing, by writing to contact@cotanova.com. We answer within one month. If the answer does not satisfy you, you may complain to the CNIL, the French data protection authority (www.cnil.fr), or to the authority of your country.

Changes

This page will be updated when the shop opens (payment and key delivery). The date at the top shows the latest version.
