THE CULTURAL ASSOCIATION and the GDPR

It's a association which aims to promote and disseminate cultural activities.

A cultural association is aimed at any person or group of people who wishes to promote, disseminate, or develop a cultural activity. This may involve, for example, artistic creation (music, theater, dance, visual arts, etc.), the dissemination of shows or exhibitions, the organization of festivals or cultural events, the preservation of cultural heritage, the promotion of cultural diversity, etc.

Cultural associations can be created by artists, amateurs or professionals in the cultural sector, but also by local authorities, businesses, schools or universities, social centers, neighborhood associations, etc. The members of a cultural association can be volunteers or employees, depending on the resources available to the association.

The cultural association may be an association under the 1901 law or an association known as the "1905 law" (law on religious associations and congregations), depending on its purpose and operation. In all cases, it must respect the rules of transparency and democratic management specific to associations.

THE personal data processed by a cultural association depend on its activities and missions. However, they may include:

• Its members' identifying information, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses;
• Data relating to the association's activities, such as the dates and locations of events organized;
• Information about the association's artists, staff members, volunteers and partners;
• Financial data, such as information on member donations and payments;
• Data regarding members' opinions and cultural preferences.

It is important to note that all this personal data is protected by the European regulations on the protection of personal data (GDPR) and must be processed in a transparent and secure manner.
