Purple Magazine (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data of all visitors, subscribers, and customers who access our website, https://purple.fr. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), French data protection law, and applicable international standards.

1. Introduction

When you interact with purple.fr — whether by browsing our content, creating a user account, purchasing subscriptions or products, or signing up for our newsletters — we may collect and process personal data. This data is handled with strict confidentiality and is only used for clearly defined purposes, as outlined below.

2. Information we collect

We may collect various categories of personal data depending on how you interact with our services. These include your name, email address, billing and shipping address, telephone number, account login credentials, payment details (handled by our third-party provider Frisbii), subscription preferences, and records of your orders and communications with us. We also collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and interaction logs through tools like Google Analytics.

3. How we use your data

Your personal data is processed for the following purposes: to register and manage user accounts; to process subscriptions and online purchases; to deliver purchased products; to send transactional and promotional emails (where consent is given); to improve the performance and usability of our website; and to meet our legal obligations under French and European law.

4. Legal basis for processing

We rely on several legal bases for processing your data. These include the necessity of processing for the performance of a contract (e.g., fulfilling a subscription), your explicit consent (e.g., newsletter sign-up), our legitimate interests (e.g., maintaining website security and analytics), and our compliance with legal obligations (e.g., accounting and tax laws).

5. Sharing and Disclosure of data

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We only share your data with trusted service providers necessary to fulfill our services—such as Frisbii for payment processing, logistics partners for shipping, Google Analytics for website traffic analysis (with IP anonymization), and IT providers that support our infrastructure. All partners are contractually bound to GDPR-compliant data protection standards.

6. International Transfers

As purple.fr is based in France but serves an international audience, some personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Account data is kept for the duration of your active account. Purchase records and invoices are retained for up to five years in accordance with French tax laws. You may request deletion of your account or personal data at any time, subject to our legal obligations.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data; to restrict or object to its processing; and to request data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise your rights, contact us at inquire@purple.fr. We respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

9. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and deliver personalized content. You can manage your cookie preferences via your browser or through our on-site cookie settings. Our full Cookie Policy provides further details.

10. Data Security

We take the protection of your data seriously and implement technical and organizational measures to safeguard it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure server configurations, encrypted connections, and access controls. While we do our best to protect your data, no system is entirely immune to security threats.

11. Contact and complaints

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at inquire@purple.fr. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority, at www.cnil.fr.
