Speaky is committed to respecting the privacy of Users when collecting and processing Users’ personal data in connection with the Services. Speaky therefore makes every effort to protect the confidentiality of the personal data collected and to comply with applicable data protection laws, including the European Regulation 2016/679, known as the General Data Protection Regulation or, in short, GDPR.
This policy regarding the processing of personal data (hereafter referred to as the “Privacy Policy”) details Speaky’s practices with regard to the collection and processing of personal data (hereafter referred to as “Data”) following consultation of the Site, requesting information and executing the Services from the Site or Platform or via any other electronic means of communication. By “processing of personal data”, we mean any handling of data that can identify you as a natural person.
Please note that the data collected by Speaky in the context of a study on language knowledge is anonymised and is solely intended for the production of anonymous global statistics. This data is not subject to any individual processing and is therefore not subject to the Privacy Policy.
The personal data that we collect is specifically defined in the section below, which we invite you to read carefully. Speaky is committed to respecting your privacy and providing you with as much information as possible to allow you to control what happens to your Data. You will therefore find below further information about the Data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, your privacy rights and how you can exercise them.
Speaky may modify this Privacy Policy periodically, in particular in the event of legislative changes. We therefore invite you to always consult the latest version of the Privacy Policy on our website https://www.speaky.com/privacy-policy/.
You will find below the different types of Data that we collect, which can be collected cumulatively:
Speaky uses your Data only to the extent necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained as described in the section below.
Please note that as the use of Speaky is not intended for children under the age of 16, we do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 16 without the explicit authorisation of a parent or guardian. In the event that information about children under the age of 16 has been inadvertently collected by us, we will take steps to delete the Data as soon as possible, unless we are required by law to store that information.
We also use cookies – please see our Cookie Policy section for further information.
Speaky uses your Data for various purposes; We only use the data that is essential to achieve the intended purpose and when necessary:
We only transmit your Data to third parties when:
In order to execute our Services, we may subcontract, in whole or in part, some of our tasks to technical subcontractors, for example to an IT company with a view to hosting the Site and storing the Data and backup copies. We ensure that subcontractors handle your Data in the same manner we do; that is, in a safe, respectful and responsible way, and we provide adequate contractual guarantees to this effect. Speaky therefore requires its subcontractors to comply with data protection legislation and to provide sufficient guarantees regarding the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, so that the use of the data meets the requirements of applicable data protection legislation and guarantees the protection of your rights.
Depending on the processing and the legal basis, there are a number of possibilities available to you to keep control over your Data:
To exercise your rights, please send an email to [email protected].
We will not retain your Data beyond the time necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is collected. Speaky may, however, use the contact information of Interested Parties to identify and inform them of new Speaky products and promotions for a period of 2 years, unless the Interested Parties have unsubscribed from these promotional messages. At the end of the storage periods described above, Data will be deleted or made anonymous, except insofar as its storage is a legal obligation, specifically in case of compliance with the obligation to keep documents for accounting and tax purposes.
We have developed appropriate technical and organisational security rules in order to prevent the destruction, loss, falsification, modification, unauthorised access, accidental disclosure to third parties and any other unauthorised handling of Data. For example, Speaky synchronises databases containing User or Client Data securely on three different physical supports. In order to protect the entire system against viruses and security breaches, system software and application software packages are updated as soon as a security update is available. A firewall is installed on each server and is configured by our network administrator to protect against any external attack. Access to the servers is also restricted by private-public key, with the private key being encrypted (DES 256). Finally, the individual computer of each Speaky employee is equipped with an automatically updated and professional anti-virus software. In addition, developers or employees working on the infrastructure are equipped with a computer that has a fully encrypted hard disk. In the event of a data leak with adverse consequences for your Data, you are personally notified under the circumstances and within the time limits as stipulated by law. To ensure the security of your Data, we advise that you:
You are solely responsible for your Client Account and the consequences of its use, as well as for any information of any kind that you communicate to Speaky. Speaky is not liable in the event of damage caused because of erroneous, incomplete or fraudulent information that you provide to us.
Our website may contain links to third-party sites, and some of our Services may grant you access to third-party services (such as social networks). We have no control over how third-party sites and services handle your Data. We do not review third party sites and services, and we are not responsible for those third-party sites and services or their practices regarding the protection of your Data. We invite you to carefully read the data handling policies of third-party sites that you access from our Site.
If you wish to exercise your rights or if you have questions regarding the handling of your Data, you may contact us by sending an email to: [email protected].
