2. Purposes of processing, data, legal grounds and retention periods

Processed data: username; password as a cryptographic hash, the password itself is not available to the Operator; email address or Telegram username for restoring access; dates of registration, last sign-in, acceptance of the Terms of use and giving consent; lists, submissions and photos created by the user. Data subjects: users who have registered an account. Legal grounds: the data subject’s consent (clause 1, Part 1, Article 6 of the Law) and performance of the Terms of use (in Russian) (clause 5, Part 1, Article 6 of the Law).

2.2. Receiving and reviewing submissions sent without an account: photos, book covers, corrections to model pages. Processed data: the name or pseudonym given by the user; a link to a profile or website; comment text; the uploaded image; the IP address, used to protect the Website from spam and abuse. Data subjects: visitors who have sent a submission. Legal ground: the data subject’s consent. Retention: the IP address is deleted automatically 90 days after the submission is sent; other data is kept as long as the submission or the photo published from it is kept, or until consent is withdrawn.

2.3. Dissemination of data. The Website publishes only data that the data subject has chosen to make public. The caption of an approved photo (name, pseudonym or username and a link to a profile) is published subject to consent to dissemination (in Russian) (Article 10.1 of the Law), which is given when the photo is sent. The username is published on the user’s gallery page if the photo was sent with the “Add to my gallery” option checked, in the caption of photos attached to a new model submission and published together with that model (consent to this is given when the account is registered), and on a list that the user has shared by link.
