The UPS in Space site permits a hypertext link pointing to its content, provided the information is used for personal, association or professional purposes.
Any use for commercial or advertising purposes is excluded.
Please note that this permission does not apply to websites carrying content that is polemical, pornographic, xenophobic or that may more broadly offend general sensibilities. For other uses, please consult us at the following address: Write to the association
Some hypertext links take you away from the site. These target sites are not under the control of UPS in Space. We are therefore not responsible for their content, for the links they contain or for the changes or updates made to them. The risks of using those sites are entirely the user’s.
The association no longer runs an online shop. Membership, donations and paid registrations go through HelloAsso, which takes the payments, issues the receipts and applies its own terms and conditions.
For an invoiced service, outreach, an appearance or a partnership, the terms are agreed in the quotation, before anything takes place. Write to us through the contact form.
This site is subject to French law. In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought before any legal action; failing that, the French courts have jurisdiction.
Personal data
The data controller is UPS in Space, whose details appear in the legal information above.
UPS in Space undertakes that the processing of personal data carried out from its website complies with the regulations on the protection of personal data, including French Act no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on information technology, data files and civil liberties, known as the “informatique et libertés” Act, and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation.
Information relating to a natural person identified, directly or indirectly, whether by reference to a name, an identification number, location data or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity, is regarded as “personal data”.
Accordingly, any operation, whether automated or carried out by our teams, on personal data is regarded as “processing”. This includes in particular access, collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, alignment, restriction, erasure and destruction of any personal data.
- Message sent through a form: to reply to you. The processing rests on your request itself.
- Subscription to the session announcements: to tell you when a session is confirmed or called off. The processing rests on your consent, which you withdraw in one click from any message.
- Membership: to keep the register of members and to meet the association’s accounting obligations.
- Application or project proposal: to consider the request, for the duration of the campaign concerned.
- Language cookie: to show you the site again in the language you chose. It is strictly necessary and does not require your consent.
- Answer to the consent bar: so as not to ask you again on every page, and to keep a record of your choice.
This site sets no advertising tracker and no audience measurement tool. No browsing data is collected for statistical or commercial purposes, and no information is passed to an advertiser.
Two cookies are set: the one that keeps your choice of language, so that the site is shown to you in the same language on your next visit, kept for one year; and the one that keeps your answer to the consent bar, kept for six months, and set only once you have answered. The first is strictly necessary to the running of the site and does not require your consent.
Two outside services may be called on: YouTube videos and the Google My Maps access map. Neither loads until you have allowed it, service by service, from the bar. As long as you do not ask for them, no information is passed to them.
What your consent entails: as soon as you allow either of these two services, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. Google may process that data outside the European Union, under its own policy. You can change your mind at any time from the bar.
The site itself is hosted in France, with o2switch, and the messages sent through the forms do not leave it.
- o2switch, in France: hosting of the site and delivery of the messages sent through the forms.
- HelloAsso, in France: membership, donations and paid registrations. Its membership and donation forms are displayed on this site and load only with your consent; its own policy applies to them.
- Google: only if you allow a YouTube video or the access map. Google then receives your IP address and may process that data outside the European Union, under its own policy.
No other recipient. The data is neither sold, nor passed on, nor used for advertising.
- Message sent through a form: as long as it takes to deal with the request, then one year at most.
- Address subscribed to the session announcements: until you unsubscribe, which takes one click from any message.
- Application or project proposal: the duration of the campaign concerned, then one year.
- Membership: as long as the association’s accounting obligations require.
- Language cookie: one year, measured in the server’s response header.
- Answer to the consent bar: six months, a theme setting.
The processing of personal data carried out on the UPS in Space website and on its associated sites gives users the following rights:
- Right to information;
- Right of access to the data;
- Right to rectification of the data;
- Right to restriction of processing;
- Right to data portability;
- Right to object to processing.
To exercise your rights, you may contact us at Write to the association.
Should you not receive an answer to your request within a reasonable time, you may lodge a complaint with the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés.
UPS in Space points out that the public availability of personal data on its sites in no way entitles anyone to collect or use that data, whatever the purpose.
The Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés can be reached through its website or by post: 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France.
Accessibility
- Text contrast. Measured on the pages as they are served, in both modes, across all thirty-eight pages of the site, at four screen widths and in the three rendering engines, Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. No combination below the AA threshold (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text).
- Keyboard navigation. The first forty interactive elements of a page were stepped through with the tab key. Every one of them shows a visible focus indicator.
- Headings and structure. One first-level heading per page, across the whole site, and a heading hierarchy with no skipped level, with one exception : the events block on the home page puts a fourth-level heading under a second-level one. That markup comes from the calendar plugin.
- Image descriptions. Every meaningful image carries a text description, checked page by page.
- Touch targets. Links and buttons measure at least 24 pixels in both dimensions, measured at four screen widths, with one exception : the Linktree icon in the social bar measures 16 × 24. The main targets, navigation links and buttons, exceed 44 pixels.
- Language and page titles. The document language is declared, and passages written in a language other than the page’s carry their own language marker. Each page carries a distinct title that describes it.
- Form fields. Every field carries a label. One caveat : the group of checkboxes in the consent bar is not wrapped in a field group, markup produced by the theme.
These checks are automated and replayed whenever the site changes, so that a regression shows up instead of settling in.
- No full RGAA audit. The 106 criteria of the framework have not been gone through one by one. The points above have been measured; the others have not, which does not mean they fail.
- Screen reader reading. The site has not yet been gone through end to end with a screen reader by somebody who uses one every day. That is the check we miss most, and no automated measurement replaces it.
- Documents to download. The PDF documents announced, the teaching pack and the press pack, are not published yet. The substance of each will appear as text in the page, the PDF coming as a printable addition.
- English version. The site is translated into English, pages, menus and forms included. This translation has not yet been reviewed by a native English speaker : where the two versions differ, the French version prevails.
- Third-party content. Videos hosted by outside services only load with your consent. Their player and their subtitles are the concern of that service, over which the association has no control.
If a page is not accessible to you, tell us : it is the surest way to make this site better. Describe what you were looking for, which page it was and what stopped you, through the contact form. We reply and, if we cannot fix it straight away, we send you the information you asked for by another means.
Means of redress. If a report goes without a satisfactory answer, you may refer the matter to the French Défenseur des droits, through its online form, by post free of charge (Défenseur des droits, Libre réponse 71120, 75342 Paris CEDEX 07) or by contacting the delegate for your department.
Statement drawn up on 21 August 2026, on the basis of the measurements described above. It will be updated whenever the site changes materially.
