Musical Moments — Data: for the people who sign musicians up from the space reserved for teachers, first name, last name, email address, conservatoire (optional) and date of last visit; for each musician signed up, first name, last name and instrument, as well as the programme of the session and, when the association makes the sign-up itself, the email address of the person signed up. Information about the musicians is provided by the person who signs them up. Purpose: organising the Musical Moments and publishing their schedule. Legal basis: the association's legitimate interest in organising its musical activity (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR); publishing each musician's first name and last-name initial relies on their agreement or, if they are a minor, their parents' agreement, as attested by the person making the sign-up. Only the date and time of the session, the musicians' first names and last-name initials, their instruments and the programme are published on the Site and in its calendar; full names and email addresses never are.

Anyone who appears in a photograph may ask for its removal at contact@orguevivant.fr; it is then removed without delay.
