7. Data subject rights

Under Articles 15–22 GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access (Art. 15) — obtain a copy of all personal data we process about you.
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16) — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17) — request deletion of the account and related data.
  • Right to restrict processing (Art. 18) — restrict processing in certain situations.
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20) — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object (Art. 21) — object to processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Right not to be subject to automated decision-making (Art. 22) — see Section 8.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of the rights above, contact us at media4estate@gmail.com.

  • Response time: 30 calendar days from receipt. The period may be extended by 60 days for complex requests with prior notice (Art. 12(3) GDPR).
  • Identity verification: we may ask you to confirm ownership of the email address.
  • Free of charge: exercising your rights is free of charge (Art. 12(5) GDPR), except for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

8. Automated processing and profiling

The Service uses AI technologies to process user-uploaded content: transcription of video recordings, analysis of text to detect viral moments, automatic clip cutting, subtitles and cover generation.

These AI tools are used solely to process content upon user request and do NOT:

  • Make automated decisions producing legal effects for the user;
  • Carry out profiling of users;
  • Affect service access, pricing or terms.

9. International data transfers

Some of our subprocessors are located in the United States. Transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA comply with Chapter V GDPR (Articles 44–49). We apply the following hierarchy:

  1. Art. 45 — adequacy. For US recipients that are DPF-certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of 10 July 2023), transfers rely on the adequacy decision. Currently this covers AssemblyAI, Resend and Google.
  2. Art. 46 — appropriate safeguards. For non-DPF US recipients, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision (EU) 2021/914, Module 2 controller→processor) included in the vendor's data-processing agreement. Currently this covers Anthropicand Kie.ai. SCCs also serve as a fallback for the DPF-covered recipients above.
  3. Art. 49 — derogations. Per EDPB Guidelines 2/2018, Art. 49(1)(b) is reserved for occasional, non-repetitive transfers and is not relied upon as a general basis for routine processing in our Service.

You can verify a vendor's DPF certification at dataprivacyframework.gov/list. Only text prompts (without personal data) are sent to Kie.ai; no transcripts or media are sent to Google.

10. Data security

Under Article 32 GDPR we apply the following technical and organisational safeguards:

  • Password hashing using bcrypt (12 rounds);
  • HMAC-SHA256 signed session tokens with server-side expiration checks;
  • HTTPS encryption for all connections;
  • Rate-limiting on authentication endpoints;
  • HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite cookies against XSS and CSRF;
  • Email address verification with a 6-digit code;
  • Atomic transactions to prevent double token crediting;
  • Server access restricted to authorised personnel;
  • Uploaded files accessible only to the account owner.

11. Data breach notification

Under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR:

  • In case of a personal data breach, the controller will notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware (Art. 33).
  • If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, affected users will be notified without undue delay (Art. 34).
  • The notification will describe the nature of the breach, contact information, likely consequences and measures taken.

12. Children's data

The Service is intended for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under 18. If we become aware of such collection, the data will be deleted immediately.

13. Cookies

The Service uses strictly necessary cookies (session authentication and email verification status) and optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics, only after explicit consent). Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
