• Contact — cataracte@picture.ch
• Main website — cataracte.noirblanc.eu

This is a presentation site (book, exhibitions, press). It has no form, no member area, no newsletter. The data actually processed is:

• Email exchanges — when you write to cataracte@picture.ch (book order, exhibition request, press contact), your details and the content of the message are kept for as long as necessary to handle your request.
• Server logs — the hosting provider automatically records technical data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser type) for security and operational purposes, for a limited period.
• Cookies — see the Cookies and consent section below.

Purposes and legal basis

• Replying to your messages — legitimate interest / performance of an order.
• Site security and integrity — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Audience measurement / optional features — your consent, collected via the dedicated banner.

Retention periods

• Received messages — up to 3 years after the last exchange, where their retention remains necessary.
• Server logs — 30 days, subject to the hosting provider's retention terms.
• Cookie and consent choices — 12 months, where this period corresponds to the tool's configuration.
• Traffic data — up to 14 months when Google Analytics 4 is used with this configuration.

Upon expiry of these periods, data is deleted or anonymised, unless a legal obligation or legitimate need justifies longer retention.

On your first visit, a consent banner allows you to accept, refuse or configure non-essential cookies. No audience measurement or optional feature cookies are set before your choice. You can change your choice at any time via the "Manage my cookies" link at the bottom of the page (or by clearing your browser's local storage).

The cookies used fall into two categories:

• Strictly necessary — remembering your consent choice. They do not require your agreement and are not shared with third parties.
• Optional — audience measurement (aggregated traffic statistics). These cookies are only activated after your explicit consent and can be refused without any loss of functionality on the site.

• Google Fonts — typefaces (Newsreader, Inter, IBM Plex Mono) are loaded from Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com). This loading transmits your IP address to Google, including from the European Union. Google LLC may process this data outside the EU. See Google's privacy policy ↗.
• Hosting provider — the site is hosted by a provider located in Switzerland / the European Union, acting as a processor and retaining server logs for the security of the service.

No data is sold, rented or transferred for advertising purposes. There are no advertising networks on this site.
