Privacy policy.

Who we are

This site is run by Cult Films, Athens, Greece. We decide how the information below is used. For anything about your data, write to info@thecultfilms.com.

What we collect

Your email, if you ask to hear about the B&W film

When you use the “Notify me” form we store your email address and the date you signed up. We use it only to tell you about the launch of our black & white film. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time: every email we send has an unsubscribe link, and you can also remove your address below. We keep it until you remove it, or until we stop sending news about the B&W film, whichever comes first.

Negatives you convert

When you upload a RAW file to the negative converter, we store the file, its name and the positive we make from it, so we can show you the result and let you download it. RAW files can contain details your camera adds, such as its serial number or, on some cameras and phones, where the photo was taken. We do not look at, share or reuse your images, and we delete the file and the result automatically 24 hours after you upload it.

To stop the converter being overloaded, visitors who are not logged in can start one conversion per 24 hours. For this we keep your IP address, with the time of the conversion, for 24 hours. This is in our legitimate interest in keeping the service available.

Server logs

Like every website, our server records each request: IP address, date and time, the page asked for and your browser type. These logs are used only to keep the site running and secure, and are deleted by our hosting provider after a limited period.

Accounts

Accounts are created by us for people we work with; you cannot sign up on the site. For an account we keep a name, email address and password (stored scrambled, so nobody can read it), for as long as the account exists.

Emails you send us

If you write to us, we keep your message and address to answer you and for as long as we need to follow up.

Cookies and tracking

We use no analytics, advertising or tracking, and visitors get no cookies. Logged-in users get one cookie that keeps them logged in, which the site cannot work without. If you use the “Invert negative” switch, your browser remembers your choice on your own device; it is never sent to us. Our fonts are served from our own server, so loading a page does not contact anyone else.

Who else sees it

The site and its data are hosted by Hostdog, our hosting provider, on servers in the European Union, and they process them only on our behalf. Your data does not leave the EU. We do not sell, rent or share your information with anyone else, unless the law requires us to.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to limit how we use it, or object to its use, and you can take back your consent at any time. Write to info@thecultfilms.com and we will answer within a month. If you think we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).
