This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for GoTranscript. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by us and (or) the Website. It notifies you of the following:
We are committed to responsible data processing in accordance with our legal obligations and it shall comply with the General Data Protection Regulation insofar as it involves us in the processing of personal data of any sort and other applicable laws. It applies to all our clients.
This notice does not form part of any contract with our clients or any other contract to provide services. We may update this notice at any time.
It is important that you read this notice, together with any other Privacy Policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified.

We are not likely to collect, store or use of "special categories" information.
We will collect, store and use the following categories of personal information about you:

We will not sell, transfer, or lease this information to anyone. We will collect additional personal information in the course of providing services to you throughout the time you are a client.
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:
We need all the categories of information in the list above (see The kind of information we hold about you) primarily to allow us to perform our contract with you and to enable us to comply with legal obligations. In some cases, we may use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The situations in which we will process your personal information are listed below.
Some of the above grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.
If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the services under the Terms of Service, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations.
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
We do not need your consent if we use special categories of your personal information in accordance with our written policy to carry out our legal obligations or exercise specific rights. In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. You should be aware that it is not a condition of your contract with us that you agree to any request for consent from us.
We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g., to process an order or provide our services to you.
We may have to share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and regulators.

Privacy policy and your rights
All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
We may share your personal information with other third parties, for example in the context of the possible merger or restructuring of our company. We may also need to share your personal information to comply with the law.
We have put in place measures to protect the security of your information. When you submit sensitive information via our Website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit/debit card or payment data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Webpage.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Only such employees and service providers who need the information to perform a specific task (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of providing our services to you and satisfying any legal obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer a client we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Your duty to inform us of changes It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

If you would like to edit your information or delete it, you can email us at karolis@gotranscript.com.
With respect to your personal data you have the following additional rights granted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us by email. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time, and we will provide you with a new Privacy Policy when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.

If for some reason, the Customer is not satisfied with the transcript and reasonably deems it below the 99% accuracy rate and it was a properly recorded audio Source Material, Customer has to notify GoTranscript within 30 days of notice of the poor Service, but not later than 6 months after completion of the order, so that GoTranscript can examine the discrepancy.
5.5. GoTranscript does not delete finished transcript Deliverables from its servers unless the Customer deletes the files itself. Audio files are deleted 7 days after completing the Work transcript.
