Privacy Policy & Content Terms of Use

1. Identity and Contact Details of the Data Controller

The data controller responsible for personal data collected via The Art Market Review website (theartmarketreview.com) is:

CB PARIS, SASU incorporated in France.
Contact: contact@theartmarketreview.com

CB PARIS has not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) within the meaning of Article 37 of the GDPR, as its structure and processing volumes do not make such appointment mandatory. Any request relating to the protection of personal data may nonetheless be addressed to the contact above.

2. Data Collected, Purposes, and Legal Bases

2.1 Email addresses collected via the subscription form (Kit / ConvertKit)

CB PARIS collects the email addresses of visitors who voluntarily subscribe to its mailing list via the forms available on the site. These forms are operated by Kit (formerly ConvertKit).

Data: Email address
Purpose: Sending the newsletter and editorial communications related to The Art Market Review; sending information about available products
Legal basis: Consent of the data subject (Art. 6.1.a GDPR)

Consent is collected at the point of subscription via an explicit checkbox or action button. It is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. It may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

CB PARIS does not collect any other personal data through its own forms. It has no access to payment data, which is collected and processed exclusively by Lemon Squeezy Inc. in its capacity as Merchant of Record.

2.2 Navigation data and analytics cookies

To the extent that CB PARIS uses audience measurement or navigation tracking tools (see Section 7 below), navigation data may be processed. The applicable legal basis depends on the nature of the tool used:

— If the tool falls within the category of solutions exempt from consent under the CNIL's guidelines (strictly anonymised audience analytics, without transfer of data outside the EU), the legal basis is CB PARIS's legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR).

— In all other cases, processing is subject to the user's prior consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR), collected via the cookie banner displayed on the first visit.

3. Retention Periods

Data: Email address (mailing list)
Retention: Until consent is withdrawn by the data subject, or until three (3) years of inactivity (no email opens) from the date of the last active interaction

Data: Navigation data (if collected)
Retention: As defined by the tool used, within a maximum of thirteen (13) months in accordance with CNIL recommendations

Upon expiry of these periods, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

4. Transfers of Data Outside the European Union

Kit (ConvertKit, Inc.) is a company incorporated under the laws of the United States whose servers may process data outside the European Union, including in the United States.

This transfer is governed by the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Article 46.2.c of the GDPR, which Kit declares to incorporate into its data processing agreements with clients established in the European Union. CB PARIS has entered into a Data Processing Agreement with Kit in compliance with GDPR requirements.

For more information on Kit's data protection commitments, please refer to Kit's Privacy Policy at: https://kit.com/privacy

CB PARIS draws the attention of data subjects to the fact that, notwithstanding these contractual safeguards, data transferred to the United States may remain subject to applicable US legislation, including as regards access by public authorities.

5. Rights of Data Subjects

These terms govern exclusively the usage rights attached to digital files acquired via The Art Market Review website.

9. Licence Granted

CB PARIS grants the buyer a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, and non-transferable licence to use the acquired digital files, valid without time limitation. This licence is strictly attached to the individual or legal entity that completed the purchase and may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or transferred to any third party, whether for consideration or free of charge.

10. Permitted Uses

Under the licence granted, the buyer is authorised to:

— Access and consult the files on their own devices, in a reasonable number.

— Print the files for personal use or for internal professional use within the entity that made the purchase.

Any breach of these terms may give rise to civil and criminal liability, including for copyright infringement under Articles L. 335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.

12. Intellectual Property

All elements comprising the products — texts, analyses, market data, methodologies, editorial structures, visuals, and layout — remain the exclusive property of CB PARIS / The Art Market Review. All rights reserved. The acquisition of a digital product confers no ownership rights over the work, nor any assignment of copyright to the buyer.

13. No Right of Withdrawal

The products offered by The Art Market Review are digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, made available by immediate download upon completion of the transaction.

In accordance with Article L. 221-28, 13° of the French Consumer Code, the fourteen-day right of withdrawal does not apply to these products, provided that performance has begun with the consumer's prior express agreement and acknowledgement that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal. This express agreement is collected by Lemon Squeezy Inc. during the purchase process, before access to the download is made available.

For buyers acting in a professional capacity, the consumer right of withdrawal does not apply independently of the above provision.
