To this end, we have designed this privacy policy (hereinafter the “Policy”) to provide you with the simplest and most transparent information possible on this subject, as well as the control and choice tools available to you to determine when and how your personal data is shared.

The Policy applies to all possible uses of our Platform on any device. It may be modified at any time, in particular to comply with any legislative, regulatory, jurisprudential, editorial, or technical developments.

We also invite you to read our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, which apply to all uses of our Service. Words beginning with a capital letter have the meaning given to them in the “Definitions” section of the Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

The data controller is the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing your data, i.e. all operations performed on it (collection, consultation, storage, etc.). In other words, it is the person who decides why and how to process your personal data.

Readly may be required to disclose your personal data due to legal requirements, legal proceedings, disputes, and/or requests from public authorities in your country of residence or elsewhere. We may also disclose your data if we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate for reasons of national security, law enforcement, or other matters of public interest.

We may also disclose information about you if we believe that such disclosure is in our legitimate interest in that it is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our business or users. In addition, again in our legitimate interest, in the event of a restructuring, merger, or sale, we may transfer any personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

5.2 Recipients of your data

The personal data we collect on our website and applications is processed by us as the data controller.

However, Readly or one of its business partners may sometimes exchange this personal data and use it in accordance with this Policy. They may also combine it with other information in order to provide and improve their products, services, content, and advertising.

Readly only shares your personal data with its service providers and strategic partners (this may include online advertising platforms such as Meta Platforms and Google, when we perform data matching operations to exclude our existing users from certain campaigns or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities. These platforms then act as separate data controllers), and companies in the Cafeyn group, including LeKiosque.fr, in particular for the purposes listed above in order to optimize your experience on our site and our applications. Readly therefore shares personal data with companies that provide services such as information processing, customer order fulfillment, product delivery, customer data management and development, customer service provision, assessment of your interest in our products and services, and customer satisfaction or customer development surveys.

In this case, Readly ensures that the service provider complies with current legislation on personal data protection so that it does not use the data for purposes other than those specified by Readly. These companies are obliged to protect your data and may be located in any country in which Readly operates, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Once the service is activated, your account will be governed by the respective confidentiality commitments of Readly and its service provider. Personal data will only be shared by Readly to provide or improve its products, services, and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

6/ How long do we keep your data?

The personal data collected is kept for the period strictly necessary to achieve the purposes set out above. Beyond this period, it will be kept for statistical purposes only and will not be used in any way whatsoever. It may be archived for an additional period in accordance with the applicable limitation periods or in accordance with legal obligations to which Readly may be subject. It will then be anonymised (making it impossible to re-identify your data).

In any event, in the event of inactivity for a period of 3 years, personal data will be deleted or anonymised.

Certain data, in particular billing and accounting data, may be retained for the applicable legal period in tax and accounting matters.

Information stored in cookies, or any other element used to identify you and enable your traceability, as well as raw traffic data associated with an identifier, will not be retained for more than thirteen months.

Data used to provide you with personalised reading recommendations is not retained for more than 180 days.

7/ How do we keep your data secure?

Readly takes precautions – including administrative, technical, and physical measures – to protect your personal data from loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Readly online services use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security protocol on all web pages where personal data is collected. To make purchases from our Service, it is your responsibility to use an SSL browser. This will ensure that your personal data remains confidential when transmitted over the Internet.

8/ What are your rights?

You can ensure that your contact details and preferences are accurate, complete and up to date by logging into your user account. With regard to other personal data, we make every effort in good faith to give you access so that you can ask us to correct any data that is inaccurate or delete it, unless Readly is required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Articles 14 to 22 of Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 grant you the following rights:

  • The right to access your data;
  • The right to rectify data;
  • The right to object to the collection and processing of data;
  • The right to erasure of data;
  • The right to restriction of the collection and processing of data;
  • The right to data portability.

You also have the right to communicate instructions regarding the storage, deletion and communication of your data in the event of death. You can exercise these rights by sending a request by email to dpo@readly.co or by post to the following address: LEKIOSQUE.FR SAS – Legal Department – 26 rue Laffitte 75009 Paris. You are informed that the exercise of certain rights, in particular opposition and erasure, may restrict or prevent access to and/or use of the Service.

We may refuse to process requests that are excessively repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardise the confidentiality of third-party data, are extremely difficult to implement or for which access is not otherwise required by applicable law.

Readly reserves the right to verify the User's identity.

If you believe that we are not complying with our obligations and commitments, or your rights, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL.

9/ Other provisions

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, products and services. Our products and services may also use or offer third-party products or services. Information collected by third parties, which may include items such as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these third parties.

For the purposes set out above, personal data may be transferred to companies located outside the European Union, in which case Readly will make every effort to ensure that the security measures required by European regulations are applied prior to any transfer. When personal data is transferred outside the European Union, in particular to the United States in connection with the use of advertising platforms such as Meta Platforms or Google, these transfers are governed by the mechanisms provided for in the applicable regulations, such as the adequacy decision relating to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework when the recipient is certified under it, or the conclusion of standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Protecting your privacy: a company-wide commitment

In order to protect the security of your personal information, we communicate these privacy and security rules to each of our employees and enforce a very strict policy in this regard within our company.
