We use your information to provide Cuse as a service and keep it secure:
| Information | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email adress | Create, identify, authenticate, verify accounts. Activity, legal and security notifications | Performance of contract and legitimate interests (maintaining service security) |
| Username, sign up date | Create and operate your account | Performance of contract |
| Display name, avatar | Allow optional profile customisation | Consent |
| Content contributions | Display product data on Cuse | Consent |
| Analytics data | Understand use of Cuse | Consent |
| Security logs | Protecting Cuse, its users and its infrastructure against fraud, spam and abuse | Legitimate interests |
We do not use your personal data to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
We use 3 strictly necessary first-party cookies ; they cannot be disabled:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cuse_session_token | Authentication and session security | 60 days (rolling) |
| currency | Remember your preferred currency | 365 days |

Cuse does not use cookies or browser storage for analytics tracking. Your IP address may be processed temporarily to derive approximate geographic information and a short-lived anonymous visitor identifier, but the IP address itself is not stored. The visitor identifier changes every 24 hours and is not used for cross-site tracking.
Analytics tracking only begins after you have given your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking this button:
When your account is deleted, we delete or anonymise personal information associated with your account. Content you contributed to Cuse, such as product information and edits, may remain publicly available, but we remove its association with your deleted account where possible. Personal information residual copies may remain in backups for up to 180 days before overwrite. Those backups aren’t used except for disaster recovery.
Data security is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
We take reasonable steps to keep your personal data safe from unauthorised access, changes, disclosure or loss. This includes using secure HTTPS connections and limiting access to the systems that handle Cuse data. We also require users to create strong passwords to help protect accounts from unauthorized access.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
