French Translation of the Privacy Policy of a Mobile Urban Mobility App

We were recently commissioned to translate from English into French the privacy policy of a mobile application offered by an operator of self-service electric scooters.

This app, available on iOS and Android, collects and processes a wide range of personal data through its geolocation features, trip management, and communication tools with users.

A comprehensive privacy policy aligned with the RGPD

The document addressed in particular:

• the collection of données de localisation,

• données d’identification (IP address, device ID, user coordonnées),

• taking photos de trottinettes,

• the use of données anonymisées for statistical purposes,

• data retention periods,

• and the rights granted to users (access, rectification, objection, droit à l’oubli, etc.).

The challenge was to accurately render the typical legal phrasing of technical English while adapting it to RGPD terminology and to the expectations of French users in terms of transparency.
