7. Social media and API integrations

In this context, the only data processed is that of our own association accounts: account identifier, public profile information and content that we publish ourselves (videos, images, text). We do not collect, store or process any personal data belonging to users of these networks through these integrations. Access to our accounts via the APIs relies on explicit authorisation and can be revoked at any time from each platform’s settings.

Data is retained for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, then deleted or anonymised, subject to any retention periods imposed by law.
