The user has the right to request deletion of usage history at any time, whether the account is active or inactive.

In the case of an active account, requesting deletion of usage history will automatically result in account termination and contract cancellation.

In the case of an inactive account, requesting deletion of usage history will lead to data removal within a reasonable timeframe, once the request is verified and approved by the company.

Data Sharing

Your data may be shared with third parties, without requiring your additional consent, for the following purposes:

1.2 Service Providers

1.2.1.2 The distribution of responsibilities for data protection and compliance.

1.2.1.3 Appropriate technical and organizational security measures that the processor must implement.

Data may be shared with service providers or third parties when necessary to perform or fulfill a contract, for example, to deliver a service, maintain functionality, or enhance user experience.

Such sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary for service delivery, both for the present and for future improvement of user experience.

Whenever personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA), TalesBox ensures that such transfers are carried out using appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other legally recognized mechanisms

1.2.3 Legitimate Interest

If there is a legitimate interest and the sharing of data with service providers does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of the user, TalesBox may share such data in accordance with GDPR principles and data minimization requirements.

1.2.4 Legal Obligation / Legal Right

In all other cases where data sharing is required or permitted by law, TalesBox may disclose personal data without obtaining additional consent from the user.

1.3 TalesBox Transparency Principle

Upon your written request, which must be sent to our official email address, hello@talesbox.co.uk, TalesBox will provide clear information regarding:

1. Which third parties are authorized to access or receive your data, and

2 . The specific purposes for which such data transfers are made.

1.4 Law Enforcement and Legal Requirements

Personal data may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities or other public bodies when required by law, regulation, or court order, and only to the extent necessary to comply with such legal obligations.

1.5 Data Sharing with Business Partners

Data may be shared with business partners, investors, or parties related to company ownership (for example, as part of a due diligence process) only when a valid legal basis exists, such as legitimate interest or contract performance, and only when such sharing does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of the user.

During registration, the user acknowledges that agreeing to these Terms also includes the possibility of limited data sharing for the purposes mentioned above.

In all cases, TalesBox ensures the security and confidentiality of the shared data, processing only the minimum amount of information necessary for the stated purpose.

TalesBox reserves the right to share limited data, under legitimate interest, with partners (for example, investors or potential buyers of the company). Such sharing is conducted only in an anonymized and aggregated form (where individual users cannot be identified) or in an encrypted form with appropriate security safeguards.

Any such data sharing will be assessed under a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) where required, to ensure full compliance with GDPR's legitimate interest balancing test.

1.5.2.3 Legal Grounds for Data Sharing

Consent:

The user provides explicit, informed, and voluntary consent for their data to be shared with partners.

Clarity:

During registration, users are clearly informed that, prior to completing registration, they must agree to the website's Terms and Conditions, including the provisions outlined in this section.

Informed:

Throughout the registration process, users are explicitly informed about the requirement to review and accept the Terms and Conditions in advance, as indicated within the registration form module.

Voluntary:

By proceeding with registration, users voluntarily express their consent to these Terms and Conditions, both for the website as a whole and specifically for this section regarding data sharing.

Contract Performance:

If data sharing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the user (for example, to provide services or ensure proper system functionality), TalesBox has the right to share such data with relevant parties without obtaining separate consent from the user.

Data will only be shared to the extent strictly necessary and exclusively with third parties directly involved in providing the service (e.g., technical providers, payment processors, hosting platforms, etc.).

Legal Obligation:

If data sharing is required to comply with legal obligations for instance, at the request of law enforcement authorities or other regulatory bodies, the company reserves the right to disclose the relevant data.

Public Interest:

Data may be shared when necessary to protect or fulfill public interest objectives.

Legitimate Interest:

The company or certain third parties may have a legitimate interest in processing or sharing personal data when it is essential for service improvement, technical maintenance, or ensuring legal protection. In such cases, TalesBox will first assess that this legitimate interest does not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of the user. Data sharing will always be limited, risk-minimized, and protected through appropriate security mechanisms.

Users are informed in advance about the possibility of such data processing and may object to it at any time. Each objection will be reviewed and addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Transparency and Information:

Transparency is one of TalesBox's core principles. Therefore, upon your written request, sent to our official email address hello@talesbox.co.uk, we will provide information regarding:

1. Which parties have access to or receive your data; and

2. What measures are in place to ensure the security and protection of your personal information.

International Data Transfers:

Our servers are located in the United States of America. When personal data is transferred internationally, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and implement additional security safeguards in accordance with GDPR requirements, UK data protection laws, and applicable international data protection standards.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including but not limited to the following:

Data Encryption During Transmission and Storage

Encryption During Transmission: Your personal data is protected during transfer using secure encryption protocols such as TLS/SSL. This ensures that data is transmitted in encrypted form between our servers and your device, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.

Encryption During Storage: When storing data, we use advanced encryption algorithms to ensure that your information remains protected even in the unlikely event of unauthorized access to our databases. This guarantees that only authorized personnel can access personal data.

Strict Access Control

Restricted Direct Access: Only those employees who need access to personal data to perform their job duties are granted such access. Access rights are role-based and limited strictly to what is necessary for each task.

1.2.1 Authentication Mechanisms

We use multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strong password policies to ensure that access to data is granted only to authorized individuals. These mechanisms significantly enhance system security and reduce the risk of breaches.

1.2.2 Access Logging and Monitoring

All access attempts and data usage activities are recorded in dedicated access logs, which are regularly reviewed. This allows for the early detection of suspicious activity and timely response to potential incidents.

1.3 Regular Security Audits

We conduct regular internal and external security audits to evaluate the overall protection level of our systems. These audits include assessments of network infrastructure, databases, applications, and other system components.

Any vulnerabilities identified during audits are promptly analyzed and remediated. We continuously review and update our security policies to ensure alignment with the latest best practices.

We perform regular penetration tests to identify potential vulnerabilities or cyberattack risks and take preventive measures accordingly.
