GDPR Privacy Notice

1. Who this notice applies to

This GDPR Privacy Notice applies to individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland when they use our website, desktop application, and related services (the “Service”). It supplements our general Privacy Policy, which describes in detail what we collect and how we use it, including analytics and cookies.

If this notice conflicts with the Privacy Policy on a GDPR-specific point, this notice controls for individuals in those regions.

2. Data controller

The data controller responsible for personal data described in this notice is Sideline Captions. For privacy-related requests, contact us through the contact form on sidelinecaptions.com.

3. Categories of personal data

We process the categories of personal data described in Section 2 of our Privacy Policy, including identifiers (such as email), commercial information, internet or network activity (such as IP address and usage logs), and content you submit for captioning or gallery services. Section 5 of the Privacy Policy lists third-party processors (for example analytics and hosting).

4. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy. The legal bases under the UK/EEA GDPR (Article 6) include:

• Performance of a contract — providing the Service you requested (licensing, Sideline Live, support).
• Legitimate interests — securing the Service, debugging, fraud prevention, product improvement, and certain analytics, where not overridden by your rights.
• Consent — where required for non-essential cookies and similar technologies, or where we expressly ask for consent.
• Legal obligation — compliance with tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements.

5. International transfers

Your data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our subprocessors operate. When we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards described in Section 8 of our Privacy Policy (including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable).

6. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access — obtain confirmation of processing and a copy of your personal data.
• Rectification — correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure — request deletion, subject to legal retention.
• Restriction — limit processing in certain cases.
• Data portability — receive data you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
• Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing where applicable.
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• Lodge a complaint — with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, use the contact form on our website. We will respond within one month (extensions may apply under GDPR). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

7. Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you based solely on automated processing.

8. Changes

We may update this notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest version. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate.
