GDPR compliant · cosmosmodels.com
Who we are
We at cosmosmodels.com ("we", "Cosmos Models", or "the Site") are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This statement describes our practices regarding the collection, use, transfer, disclosure, and handling of your personal data.
Our pledge to you
What we collect & why
We collect your personal data to publish your profile in a publicly searchable database accessible via our website, app, and social media channels. We also collect data in connection with our legitimate interest in maintaining the integrity of the site and the services we offer.
Where we have collected your data based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Personal data will not be held longer than necessary, though it may be retained to defend Cosmos Models' interests in legal challenges.
Apart from SEO and tracking practices, we collect only information you voluntarily provide. Your personal contact information is not displayed publicly — external contact details may only be shared via our messaging system. If you use Cosmos Models without registering, only SEO and cookie data is collected.
Key data practices
Login cookies last 2 days; screen preference cookies last 1 year. Selecting "Remember Me" extends login to 2 weeks. Cookies are used to save your login state and display preferences.
Avoid uploading images with embedded GPS/EXIF location data. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images you upload.
Paid membership redirects you to a secure third-party payment gateway. All payment information is recorded by the processor — Cosmos Models does not store your payment data.
All data transmission between your browser and our server is secured via SSL encryption. We use strict procedures to prevent unauthorised access, though no internet transmission is 100% guaranteed secure.
Data sharing & retention
Your personal information is processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed in the USA by staff or suppliers engaged in technical and support services.
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise follow-up comments automatically. Registered users may see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time — though usernames cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your rights
You may request an export of all personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data — this excludes data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we process your data based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
