Privacy policy

1. Data controller

The data controller is Alter Native Projects, SARL (French limited liability company) with a share capital of 1 500 €, 103 Lotissement Saint-Georges, 97233 Schœlcher, Martinique, SIRET 927 714 014 00010.

For any question about your data: contact@alter-native-projects.com.

2. Data we collect

We only collect the data we need:

• Through the “Start a project” form: full name, email address, and if you provide them, phone number, company, website, city / country, plus information about your project (type, description, budget, timeline) and how you heard about us.
• Through an email you send us directly: your address and the content of your message.
• Technical data: like any website, our host records connection logs (IP address, date and time, pages viewed, browser) required for security and proper operation.

3. Purposes and legal bases

Your data is never sold, rented or used for automated marketing. No automated decision-making or profiling takes place.

• Answering your request and sending you a quote or proposal — legal basis: your consent, given through the form's checkbox, and pre-contractual steps taken at your request.
• Keeping the website secure and running — legal basis: our legitimate interest.

4. Recipients

Form data is sent by email to the Alter Native Projects team, its only recipient. It passes through and is stored by our hosting provider, acting as a processor:

o2switch SAS, Chemin des Pardiaux, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France — SIREN 510 909 807 — www.o2switch.fr

Data is hosted in France and is never transferred outside the European Union.

5. Retention

• Contact and project requests: 3 years from our last exchange, following the French data protection authority (CNIL) guidelines for prospects. If a contract is signed, data is kept for the duration of the business relationship, then archived for the legally required periods.
• Connection logs: a limited period set by the host for security purposes.

6. Cookies and local storage

This website uses no advertising cookies and no audience measurement tools. Only items strictly necessary for your browsing comfort are stored on your device, which does not require consent:

• your language choice (“NEXT_LOCALE” cookie, 12 months);
• your light / dark mode choice (browser local storage);
• your reading position when switching languages (session storage, cleared when the tab is closed).

7. Embedded content (YouTube)

Some pages feature videos hosted on YouTube (Google), embedded in “privacy-enhanced mode” (youtube-nocookie.com). On project and concert pages, the player only loads when you click “play”. On the home page and the “Music videos & documentaries” page, short muted previews may load when they are visible on screen. During playback, Google may collect data under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Links to Instagram open the social network in a new tab: preview images are hosted on our website, and no data is sent to Instagram unless you click.

8. Security

The website is served over HTTPS. Form data is transmitted encrypted and is only accessible to authorized Alter Native Projects staff. The form is protected against automated submissions (spam).

9. Your rights

At any time, you have the following rights over your data:

• right of access and rectification;
• right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”);
• right to object and right to restriction of processing;
• right to data portability;
• right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out;
• right to set instructions regarding your data after your death.

10. Exercising your rights and complaints

To exercise your rights, write to us at contact@alter-native-projects.com describing your request. We reply within one month at most. Proof of identity may be requested in case of reasonable doubt.

If, after contacting us, you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL (French data protection authority): www.cnil.fr.

11. Changes

This policy may be updated, in particular if the website or regulations change. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.
