Preamble

1. Purpose of the Diazinteregio Association

Founded in October 2010, the Diazinteregio association aims to bring together archive centres and film libraries using the Diaz database as a tool for managing their audiovisual and cinematographic collections. Built around a community of users, its objectives are to:

create a shared “standard” for the indexing of cinematographic and audiovisual works,
explore prospects for software development in order to ensure joint application development,
pool information contained in the databases of the various member organisations,
promote interregional cooperation within France and internationally,
and implement any action aimed at promoting the missions of archive centres and film libraries.

2. The Amorce Platform

The Amorce platform was developed as part of the MeFiTer project within the “Digitisation of Architecture and Heritage” programme of France 2030, with the aim of making the content of Diazinteregio members publicly available online.

Diazinteregio holds no rights over the film content published on its platform. Only the Diazinteregio members who share film content on the Amorce platform own or hold usage rights to such content. Diazinteregio remains the owner of the content it has itself produced, including texts and audiovisual materials.

The members remain fully responsible for GDPR compliance, particularly with regard to the lawfulness of processing, information provided to data subjects, and the management of their rights, for all personal data processed within the content they publish or consult.

Diazinteregio undertakes to comply with its obligations as a data processor under the GDPR and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure confidentiality, security, and overall compliance of personal data processing carried out as part of its missions.
