4. Transfer of personal data to third party organisations and countries
We may use your personal data (i) to operate our Website and to protect it against attacks (ii) to provide you with the Service, (iii) to develop our business and customer relations, (iv) to provide technical support regarding the Service, (v) to send you updates, security alerts and other administrative messages, (v) to gather commercial statistic and analyses regarding the usage of the Website and (vi) to fulfil our legal obligations.
Compliance with law
We may share your personal data where we are under a legal obligation to disclose such data. This could be based on an applicable law, a governmental request or a court order. Please see Section 5 Sharing Personal Data with Law Enforcement Authorities below for further information. We may also share your personal data with authorised bodies if we suspect illegal activities, violation of our Terms of Use and policies or fraud in order to protect our Website and the Service.
Third party service providers
We may transfer your personal data to a third country or to an international organisation, provided that the conditions laid down in the UK GDPR are complied with and that there is an adequate level of protection and safeguards measures for the privacy of your personal data.
5. Sharing Personal Data with Law Enforcement Authorities
We may share personal data with law enforcement authorities to comply with court orders, or other legislation and legal requirements.
We will only share personal data with a law enforcement authority if we can identify a lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR before sharing the personal data. For example, we may rely on compliance with a legal obligation as a lawful basis in certain circumstances where we are required by law to disclose personal data to law enforcement authorities or on the lawful basis of legitimate interest to enable law enforcement authorities to conduct a proper investigation of a suspect. Please refer to Section 1 Legal Basis of Data Processing above for further details on a lawful basis.
If the data requested is a special category data, we will also identify a condition for processing special category data under Article 9 of the UK GDPR and any relevant condition in Schedule 1 of the DPA 2018 before sharing special category data.
We will consider the circumstances of each request to determine whether there is a lawful basis for sharing the personal data.
Under the UK Data Protection Regime, we are also required to comply with the data minimisation principle, which means that the personal data we share must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purpose of sharing it with a law enforcement authority. We will apply this principle for each data request.
We will always ensure that the personal data is shared in compliance with our other data protection duties and obligations, including fairness, accuracy and security.
We will always carefully consider all requests from law enforcement authorities before we disclose the personal data requested to them and we will not share any personal data unless we are satisfied that the disclosure of personal data to the law enforcement authority is lawful.
6. International data transfers
If your personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you will have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
Transfers of Personal Data from the European Union countries to the United Kingdom: The European Commission announced that it adopted the adequacy decision for the UK on 28 June 2021, which allows personal data to flow freely between Europe and the UK. The adequacy decision includes a ‘sunset clause', which means that the decision will automatically expire four years after its entry into force. There will be a new decision if the UK continues to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Transfers of Personal Data from the UK to EU countries: It is permitted according to the UK Data Protection Regime.
Transfer of Personal Data from the UK to non-EU countries: Adequacy Decisions: The UK’s adequacy rules include the EEA and all countries, territories and international organisations covered by European Commission’s adequacy decisions valid as of 31 December 2020.
The UK- US Data Bridge was approved by the UK Parliament on 21 September 2023 and it will come into force on 12 October 2023. From thereon, organisations in the UK will be able to transfer personal data to organisations in the US that extend their certification under the Data Privacy Framework to the UK extension.
Standard Contractual Clauses: All contracts on the basis of the old EU SCCs will continue to provide appropriate safeguards for the purpose of the UK GDPR, until 21 March 2024. From 21 March 2024, to transfer personal data outside of the UK and EU (except for countries which are granted an adequacy decision), we will enter into a contract on the basis of the international data transfer agreement (IDTA) or the international data transfer addendum to the EU SCCc for international data transfers (UK SCCs or UK Addendum). We have already concluded data processing agreements and EU SCCs and/or UK SCCs with all the third-party organisations/sub-processors, which may transfer your data outside of the EU.
You may see below in Table 3 and Table 4 detailed information about the third party organisations that we share data with. When such third party organisations process personal data on behalf of us, we sign a data processing agreement with them, as required by the UK GDPR.

Data Retention and Erasure
Last updated: October 27, 2023
Introduction
We need to collect personal information of our employees and other people that we work with or have a business relationship with, to effectively carry out our business activities and to provide the services and products we offer to our customers.
We are subject to the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 ( together “UK Data Protection Regime”) and we need to have efficient data and records management accordingly. This policy aims to inform our employees, sub-contractors and other staff as well as our customers and visitors of our website on how we intend to comply with the data retention and erasure in accordance with the applicable legislation.
This policy puts in place the rules for efficient data and records management, which meets the legislative and regulatory requirements as well as the business requirements. The data and records management will ensure that our business activities are conducted in a structured, efficient and accountable manner while delivering services to our customers and protecting the interests of our employees. It will also facilitate and manage protection, retention and erasure of personal data that we process and enforcement of individuals’ rights regarding their data.
Key terms
“We”, “us”, “our”, “Company” refers to Sociality.io Limited.
“UK GDPR” means the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as incorporated in the UK legislation.
“records” means all documents, regardless of the formats, which facilitate business activities, and are thereafter retained to provide evidence of transactions and functions. A record can be represented in paper, computer, photograph, slides, hard drives, servers, disks, PDF documents, etc.
What is the purpose of this policy?
The purpose of this Data Retention and Erasure Policy is to set forth our policy on how to provide a structured and compliant data and records management system.
Our data and records management system shall ensure that it provides an efficient and systematic management and control over the creation, receipt, maintenance, use, distribution, retention and erasure of such records.
This policy is also to clarify the processes we use to store and destroy information and what information we retain for legal/regulatory reasons and for business reasons and their retention periods.
Our objectives are (i) to retain personal data for as long as is necessary, (ii) to ensure safe and secure disposal of confidential and personal data, (iii) to ensure that records are retained for the legal, contractual and regulatory period, and (iv) to comply with the relevant data protection legislation and the contractual obligations.
Who is the subject to this policy?
This policy applies to all our employees, sub-contractors, third party representatives and any other staff within the Company. Compliance with this policy is mandatory for such persons and non-compliance may lead to disciplinary sanctions.
Personal data and the storage limitation principle
This Policy and our processing activities comply fully with the UK GDPR’s principle set forth in Article 5(1)(e) called “storage limitation”, which stipulates that personal data shall be “kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by this Regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (‘storage limitation’)”.
Data retention and standard retention periods
We will not keep personal data longer than we need to or are required by law. When determining our need to keep personal data, we will balance our needs with the impact of retention on individuals’ privacy.
Our standard retention periods are shown in our Records Retention Schedule. We periodically review our standard records retention periods to ensure that they are not longer than we actually need.
We may need to keep personal data longer than the standard retention periods to defend possible future legal claims or when we are served with a legal request for records or notified of the commencement of any litigation against us or an employee. In such a case, we will only keep the information which could possibly be relevant to such a claim and delete the rest.
We may need to keep personal financial and tax data to comply with tax regulations for the period specified by applicable tax laws.
Expiration of retention period
At the end of any standard retention period, we will review whether we still need such personal data and if we don’t need it, we will either erase it or anonymise it. To anonymise means that such personal data will no longer be “in a form which permits identification of data subjects”.
How will the data be erased?
A. Paper records
We retain limited paper based personal information and when we do, we ensure that we retain it in a confidential and compliant manner. We use onsite-shredding to dispose of all paper materials.
B. Electronic & IT records and systems
We store our data in the cloud. We do not use external discs or USB devices to store data. We make sure that all unnecessary data is removed from the cloud in a way to ensure that it cannot be reconstructed.
Erasure of the personal data
Inactive users: All data related to the inactive customers (users) shall be automatically deleted every ninety days unless there is a legal ground to keep such information.
Right to be forgotten: According to Article 17 of the UK GDPR, individuals have a “right to be forgotten”, which means they are entitled to request erasure of their personal data, verbally or in writing. This right only applies in the presence of one of the following conditions:
(i) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
(ii) the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
(iii) the data subject objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes,
(iv) the personal data have been unlawfully processed;
(v) the personal data have to be erased for compliance with an applicable legal obligation;
(vi) the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services to a child
The Company has the necessary procedures and measures to ensure that a request for erasure of a personal data is duly responded within the legal time limit and appropriate methods to erase such data, when the request complies with one of the above mentioned conditions. If we need an extension of time due to complexity or the volume of the request, we will inform the individual within one month of receipt of the request. If such personal data was disclosed to other recipients, the Company shall contact each recipient and inform them of the erasure.
If such personal data was shared with third parties in accordance with our Privacy Policy, the Company will take every reasonable step taking into account available technology and cost of implementation, to inform other controllers who are processing such data to erase links to, copies or replication of such data.
Users: Our customers (users) who subscribed to our services can also request erasure of their personal data via their user dashboard on our Website, as follows:
(i) For the users of our Service, we provide a button of “delete my data and close my account” within their account with the Service. They may request erasure of their data by clicking that button.
(ii) When we receive such a request through the software which we use for custom support communication, we will ask for confirmation from such users regarding their request.
(iii) Once the user confirms their request, data of such user is marked as “to be erased” within our internal management panel (KIOSK) accessed only by authorised persons.

Record Retention Schedule
Last updated: October 27, 2023
Key terms
“We”, “us”, “our”, “Company” refers to Sociality.io Limited.
“records” means all documents, regardless of the formats, which facilitate business activities, and are thereafter retained to provide evidence of transactions and functions. A record can be represented in paper, computer, photograph, slides, hard drives, servers, disks, PDF documents, etc.
Introduction
The purpose of this record retention schedule (RSS) is to ensure that our records management system functions properly and efficiently and no record is retained longer than needed. This RSS also serves as a guide for our employees with respect to their responsibility regarding record retention.
This RSS is to be reviewed regularly to ensure that it complies with our Data Retention Policy.
Records relating to a specific customer or user may need to be retained beyond the retention period mentioned below, in the following cases:
(i) Legal proceedings or an official investigation,
(ii) A crime is suspected or detected.
At the end of any standard retention period, we will review whether we still need such personal data and if we don’t need it, we will either erase it or anonymise it. To anonymise means that such personal data will no longer be “in a form which permits identification of data subjects”.

Compliance
Last updated: October 27, 2023
GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is the data privacy and protection legislation of the European Union. Its purpose is to protect fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and their rights to protection of their personal data.
The GDPR has an extra-territorial scope. It applies to the processing of personal data by a controller or processor not established in the European Union, when the processing activities are related to (i) the offering of goods or services to such data subjects who are in the European Union or (ii) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the European Union.
As a company incorporated in the UK, we were subject to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679) until the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Therefore, our practices and documentation with respect to data protection have always been in line with the GDPR. Following Brexit, the UK has implemented the GDPR into its national law with the UK General Data Protection Regulation which came into effect on 1 January 2021. We are now compliant both with the GDPR and the UK GDPR.
We have prepared the following data protection policies and documents:
Please read the above mentioned documents to learn more about our data processing activities and protection of your personal data.
Transfer of personal data from the EU to the UK:
The European Commission announced that it has adopted the adequacy decision for the UK on 28 June 2021, which allows personal data to flow freely between Europe and the UK. The adequacy decision includes a ‘sunset clause', which means that the decision will automatically expire four years after their entry into force. There will be a new decision if the UK continues to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Pursuant to the GDPR, in the absence of an adequacy decision, a controller or processor may transfer personal data to a third country only if it has provided appropriate safeguards, and on condition that enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available. Such safeguards may be provided for by standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission (“EU SCCs”).
The European Commission has adopted the decision 2021/914/EU on 4 June 2021, which provides for modernised standard contractual clauses.
All contracts on the basis of the old EU SCCs will continue to provide appropriate safeguards for the purpose of the UK GDPR, until 21 March 2024. From 21 March 2024, to transfer personal data outside of the UK and EU (except for countries which are granted an adequacy decision), we will enter into a contract on the basis of the international data transfer agreement (IDTA) or the international data transfer addendum to the EU SCCc for international data transfers (UK SCCs). We have already concluded data processing agreements and EU SCCs and/or UK SCCs with all the third-party organisations/sub-processors, which may transfer your data outside of the EU.
CCPA Compliance
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective since 1 January 2020, is a data protection law that protects the residents of California and governs their rights regarding their personal data.
According to the CCPA, data subjects have a right:
(i) to access to all the data that a company has processed regarding them and receive a copy of such data,
(ii) to receive a list of all the third parties that their personal data is transferred to,
(iii) to know what personal data is being collected.
We will always be transparent about the data we collect, why we collect and how we use such data, as well as the third parties’ access to such data. Our Privacy Policy provides a detailed explanation regarding these matters.
We will never sell your information.
If you have any question or concern regarding processing of your personal data by Sociality.io, please send us an email at [email protected].io and we will do our best to help you.
PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of technical and operational security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. PCI DSS is administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), which is an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands.
We do not store credit card information but since we accept credit cards as a form of payment, we must be in compliance with PCI DSS. Our check-out process is handled by Stripe, a certified company to PCI Service Provider Level 1. Please see Stripe’s Security Page for more details.,
