Your privacy is important to CULTS, which acts as the data controller under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). In this privacy policy, we inform you of our practices regarding the collection and processing of your personal information (your personal data) when you visit our website or use our services. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy beginning with a capital letter have the same meaning as in our Terms and Conditions. CULTS reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy and will publish all revisions on its website.
2. What we collect
2.1. Information provided by you. When you register on the Website to create a CULTS account, we ask for the following personal information in order to create an account for you:
- your USER name
- your email address
Additional personal information, such as an avatar/profile photo, your biography, may be voluntarily submitted by you later in your personal account details.
Information may also be collected through third-party platforms such as OAuth or social log-in services. Example: Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.
The origin of BUYERS is determined based on the legal identity declared in their CULTS personal account or, failing that, via their IP address. To determine whether VAT applies to the CULTS commission, we therefore collect the IP address. See the VAT application rules on CULTS.

This information may include IP addresses, browser type, browser settings, date and time, characteristics of your use and for how long, and other information regarding your use of the Service. We may also collect this information using “cookies” in accordance with Article 6 of our privacy policy.
3. How and for what purposes we use personal information.
3.1. Any personal information you provide on the Website will be used to provide the Services to you and to facilitate any communication between you and other USERS of the Website. If you follow another MEMBER, like, share a DIGITAL FILE, comment on, download or pay for a DIGITAL FILE, your USER name and your CULTS profile will be shared with the other MEMBER with whom you interacted, without your email being communicated.

4.1. We do not keep your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes mentioned in this privacy policy or as necessary to comply with legal obligations and to resolve any disputes.

5.3. You may access the CULTS Services from another website that has integrated the CULTS API or linked to our website. CULTS has no control over third party websites to which you link.

CULTS assumes no responsibility for the operation and/or content of third party websites. Through CULTS you can share information about yourself with other people. You yourself are responsible for the information you distribute via our Services. CULTS assumes no responsibility in this regard.
6. Cookies
We may store certain information in the form of “cookies” on your device, such as your computer, in order to provide a more user-friendly and efficient website and services. A “cookie” is a small string of information that is stored temporarily or permanently on your computer when you visit the website.
6.2. We use “functional cookies” (first-party cookies), which are only used for the technical functioning of the website and services. These cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our website. Once you disable these cookies through your browser settings, all functionality of the Website and Services will not be accessible.
6.3. We also use “analytics cookies” (third-party cookies) to better understand how you interact with our websites and services and to improve them overall. These cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our website.
6.4. You can disable any cookies and delete existing cookies in your internet browser options at any time. You can find more details in the help section of your browser. However, not all features of the website may be accessible without cookies.
7. Security
We recognize our responsibility to protect the information you entrust to us. CULTS implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against loss or against any form of unlawful processing. These measures guarantee an appropriate level of security, taking into account the state of the art and the costs of implementation, as well as the risks linked to the processing and the nature of the data to be protected. These measures also aim to prevent unnecessary collection and further processing of your personal information.
8. Your rights
8.1. In accordance with the French law of January 6, 1978, you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, transferability of data and the right to object to the use of your personal information. However, we may refuse your request if we have compelling legitimate reasons which override your interests, or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
8.2. For security reasons, we reserve the right to take steps to authenticate your identity before providing you with access to your personal data. We will respond to your request free of charge, but we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for fulfilling your request if your request is excessive or manifestly unfounded.
