Last updated 9 November 2026

This notice explains how personal data is handled when you visit cutprize.com or enter the CUT Prize.

1. Who is responsible

William Villalobos, self-employed (autónomo), C/ Montserrat Blanes 41, 07570 Artà, Illes Balears, Spain. Contact: [email protected].

2. What we collect and why

• Entry and payment details: your name, email, billing details, your film's working title, and for Student entries your university and student email. Payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. Used to process your entry and issue your receipt. Legal basis: contract.
• Acceptance of the terms: the record that you accepted the Terms and rules at checkout. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interest.
• Submissions: your film link, tools list and process note, and your contact details. Used to judge, announce and screen entries. Legal basis: contract, and legitimate interest in running the Prize.
• Communications: emails we exchange with you about your entry, results and the Prize. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interest.
• Website visits: anonymous, cookieless statistics such as pages viewed, country and device type, provided by Cloudflare Web Analytics. The site also reads your approximate country from your connection to pick your language, and remembers your language choice in your browser. No advertising cookies, no profiling. Legal basis: legitimate interest in understanding and serving the site.

3. Who receives it

Our service providers only: Stripe (payments), Cloudflare (hosting, security and analytics), and our email and file-sharing tools. Jurors see your film and credit, not your payment details. Finalists and winners are published by name. We do not sell personal data.

4. Transfers outside the EEA

Some providers, such as Stripe and Cloudflare, may process data outside the European Economic Area, under standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

5. How long we keep it

Payment and invoicing records are kept for the period required by Spanish tax law. Entry and submission data is kept while the Prize runs and for up to 24 months afterwards, then deleted or anonymized. Finalist and winner credits may stay published as part of the Prize's history.

6. Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or move your data, and object to processing, by emailing [email protected]. You can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the AEPD (aepd.es).

7. Cookies and local storage

The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. It stores your language choice in your browser. Stripe's checkout, on its own page, uses the cookies it needs to take payment and prevent fraud.

8. Language and changes

This notice is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese; if the versions differ, the English version prevails, without affecting your mandatory rights. We will update this page if our practices change, with the date at the top.
