7. Security and automatic deletion
The site is served over HTTPS. Passwords are stored with irreversible encryption. Your session is kept in cookies that page scripts cannot read. Your photos are stored in a private space and only shown through temporary one-hour links. Administration is restricted to the publisher. Sensitive requests (sign-up, forgotten password) are rate-limited.
These deletions are automatic:
- photos of an order, 30 days after delivery and at most 90 days after the order;
- customisations never ordered (drafts, items left in the cart) and their photos, after 30 days without activity;
- accounts without login or order for 3 years, and accounts never confirmed after 30 days;
- orders and invoices, 10 years after the end of the financial year.
8. Automated decisions
We make no decision producing legal effects concerning you based solely on automated processing, and we do no profiling.
9. Your rights
You have the following rights over your data:
- access: get a copy of your data;
- rectification: correct inaccurate data;
- erasure: ask us to delete your data, except what we must keep (invoices);
- restriction: temporarily freeze the use of your data;
- objection to processing based on our legitimate interest, for example visitor statistics, directly from the cookie policy;
- portability: receive the data you gave us in a machine-readable format;
- withdrawal of consent, at any time, without affecting what was done before;
- post-mortem instructions: decide what happens to your data after your death (French Data Protection Act, art. 85).
From your account, under "My information", you can view and edit your name and address, download your data as JSON and delete your account. If you ordered without an account, or for any other request, write to contact@cherlyprints.com from the email address used for the order. We reply within one month and may ask you to prove your identity if we have reasonable doubts.
If you think your rights are not respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France — www.cnil.fr/plaintes), or with the authority of your country.
