The Séréni association

French “loi 1901” association · Non-profit · Public interest

Why we exist

Séréni was born from a simple conviction: technology should help look after the most vulnerable, without ever becoming a source of exclusion or profit. That is why the app is and will remain free.

Our purpose

The “Séréni” association's purpose, on a not-for-profit basis and in the social public interest, is:

• to prevent loss of independence, isolation and everyday risks for older people (falls, scams, heatwaves, losing touch);
• to design, publish and maintain, free of charge, digital tools that support older people and their family caregivers, in particular the “Séréni” mobile app;
• to raise awareness and inform the public, families and health and social care professionals about ageing well and prevention;
• to build non-profit partnerships with local authorities, institutions, associations and organisations working with older people.

The association refrains from any political or religious activity or stance.

Our values

• Free and accessible — the tool must be within everyone's reach, whatever their means.
• Respect for privacy — no data sold, minimal collection, GDPR compliance.
• Not for profit — voluntary management: resources serve the mission, not shareholders.
• Dignity and independence — supporting without monitoring, keeping people safe without treating them like children.

The board

The association is run on a voluntary basis by its board:

• Richard Loffler — president, retired engineer, creator of the app.
• Virginie Loffler — treasurer and secretary, retired geriatrician, who ensures the project's medical and social relevance.

How we operate

The association does not live off selling the app. Its resources come from public grants (French State, local authorities and their agencies), donations and sponsorship, and membership fees. Membership is free (fee set at zero). This model guarantees Séréni's independence and keeps it free for good.

Based in Nice, the association is part of the elderly-care ecosystem of the Alpes-Maritimes and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, alongside organisations working on prevention and caregiver support.
