Legal grounds for processing

We primarily process personal data of Users on a contractual basis and to comply with legal obligations. Furthermore, we may process personal data to pursue our legitimate interest to run, maintain and develop our business or to engage in analytics and marketing activities. When choosing to use your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, we weigh our own interests against your right to privacy and e.g. provide you with easy to use opt-out from our marketing communications and use pseudonymized or non-personally identifiable data when possible.

In certain cases, Users may be requested to grant their consent for the processing of personal data. In this event, the legal ground for such processing is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

International transfers

Videoly stores Users' personal data primarily within the European Economic Area. However, we have service providers in several geographical locations, including the US. As such, we, or our service providers may transfer personal data to, or access it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area or outside of the User's domicile.

We will take steps to ensure that the Users' personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which it is processed. We provide adequate protection for the transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area through a series of agreements with our service providers based on the Standard Contractual Clauses or other similar arrangements providing appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection legislation.

Recipients of personal data

We do not share personal data with third parties outside of Videoly's organization unless one

Furthermore, we may provide your personal data to our affiliates or to other authorized service providers who perform services for us (including data storage, accounting or advertising) to process it for us.

Please bear in mind that should you provide personal data directly to a third party, such as through a link in the Services, the processing is typically based on their policies and standards.

For legal reasons

We may share personal data with third parties outside Videoly if we have a good-faith belief that access to and use of the personal data is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet any applicable law, regulation, and/or court order; (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; and/or (iii) protect the interests, properties or safety of Videoly, our Users or the public in accordance with the law.

Storage period

Videoly does not store personal data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes of providing the Services or the relevant parts thereof. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use.
