- Legitimate Interests: When processing is based on our legitimate interests, such as improving our services or marketing our products.
4. Circumstances for Processing Personal Data
Most commonly, we will process your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
(a) Contractual: If we need to perform an agreement you have with us or it is necessary to take pre-contractual steps at your request before entering into such an agreement.
(b) Legal: Where we need to comply with a legal obligation, e.g., one arising from a law or regulation concerning taxation, accounting, financial reporting, prevention of terrorism or money laundering, or judicial or administrative process.
(c) Interest: If processing is warranted by our legitimate interests or those of a third party, and such interests are not overridden by yours or your fundamental rights and freedoms.
(d) Consent: Where we have your unambiguous consent before processing your Personal Data in that specific situation, thus allowing us to process these data on the grounds of Consent.
5. Data Sharing and Transfers
We may share your personal information with third parties as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. We may transfer your data internationally, subject to appropriate safeguards (More information about this point in the following sections). However, it’s important to note that we do not sell the personal information collected from the MediaBank website to third parties.
6. Data Retention
At MediaBank, we adhere to storing your Personal Data only for as long as necessary in alignment with the purposes for which the data were collected. This includes fulfilling our rights and obligations under any contracts you have with us, if that was the primary purpose. Additionally, we may retain Personal Data for any additional period as required by applicable laws and regulations.
7. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
We engage third-party service providers to assist us in providing, maintaining, and improving our services, including hosting the website, sending communications, providing customer support, and analyzing usage patterns. These service providers may have access to your Personal Data for the limited purpose of providing the services we have engaged them to provide. Additionally, we may store Personal Data in locations outside our direct control, such as on third-party cloud infrastructure or platforms. Importantly, our use of such service providers may involve transmitting your Personal Data to jurisdictions other than the one you reside in.
We may also share your Personal Data with our corporate subsidiaries, as well as outside accountants, legal counsels, and auditors.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, division, or similar transaction, your Personal Data may be shared with or transferred to relevant parties involved in the transaction, subject to standard confidentiality arrangements.
There may be situations where we are legally obliged to disclose some or all of your Personal Data, such as in response to an information request from an authority or to comply with national or international measures against terrorism or money laundering. We may also be compelled to disclose your Personal Data by a judicial, arbitral, administrative, or otherwise mandatory order or judgment.
Additionally, we may disclose your Personal Data when necessary to exercise, enforce, or defend our rights, freedoms, or legitimate interests, or to protect the rights, freedoms, or legitimate interests of a third party.
Finally, we shall disclose your Personal Data at your request or upon your consent, unless legally prohibited or impracticable.
8. International Transfers of Personal Data
We may transfer your Personal Data to jurisdictions other than the one you reside in, subject to this section.
We shall not transfer your Personal Data from countries participating in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to those which do not, or from the EEA to international organizations, unless the recipient country or the particular person or entity receiving the data ensures an adequate level of protection for the data received. If such adequate protection is not ensured, we will implement safeguards as legally required and/or subject the transfer to other conditions as provided by law.
For example, if we are to transfer your Personal Data from the EEA to an infrastructure provider or another service provider necessary for the provision of our services, such as those mentioned under the section regarding third-party service providers, we will ensure that the provider ensures an adequate level of protection for the Personal Data received. This may include implementing Standard Contractual Clauses in service agreements between us and the service providers to ensure a level of protection equivalent to the GDPR. We regularly review and update our agreements with service providers to align with any changes in legal requirements, such as those related to the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
We prioritize selecting service providers that promise to ensure an adequate level of personal data protection according to GDPR standards. Additionally, we assess the risk of being subject to FISA or other US law enforcement-related acts when considering international transfers of Personal Data, particularly concerning communication data.
This adaptation ensures that Tailor Technologies’ Privacy Policy reflects the company’s approach to international transfers of Personal Data and compliance with relevant data protection laws, such as the GDPR.
9. Personal Data Security
At MediaBank, we prioritize the security of your Personal Data and maintain adequate technical and organizational measures to ensure its protection in accordance with the given circumstances. When determining the appropriate level of security, we consider various factors, including the nature of the Personal Data, the processing operations involved, associated risks, technological advancements, implementation costs, and other relevant considerations. These measures are detailed in our Data Protection Policy.
Our security measures are designed to address the following key aspects:
- Protecting Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.
- Ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of Personal Data throughout its processing lifecycle.
- Maintaining the availability and resilience of Service features essential for processing Personal Data.
- Facilitating the timely restoration of availability and access to Personal Data following any Service incidents.
However, it’s important to acknowledge that while we implement robust security measures, no system is entirely immune to risks. We cannot guarantee that your Personal Data, whether during transmission over the internet, storage in our systems or those of our service providers, or otherwise under our care, will be completely safeguarded from unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, alteration, or destruction. Additionally, we cannot ensure that your Personal Data will always remain intact and confidential, or that they will be promptly available after any Service incident. Moreover, we cannot control the actions of other parties with whom you choose to share or instruct us to share your Personal Data.

11. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Data subjects in the EEA have certain statutory rights under the GDPR concerning the Personal Data that we have on them. This part of the Policy aims to provide a general understanding of these rights, and we encourage you to further explore the GDPR for deeper comprehension.
Specifically, your data subject rights include:
Right of Access (GDPR Article 15): You have the right to inquire and receive confirmation from us as to whether we process any of your Personal Data. If so, you may request access to those data and obtain a copy of them. Users can access most of the Personal Data we have about them by logging into their User Account and visiting their profile page. If you do not have a User Account or wish to exercise your right of access, please use the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.
Right to Rectification (GDPR Article 16): If the Personal Data we have about you is incorrect, you have the right to request that we correct those data. In some circumstances, you may also request that incomplete Personal Data be completed. Users are encouraged to update the Personal Data under their User Accounts themselves.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) (GDPR Article 17): You have the right to request that we delete or remove the Personal Data we have on you where there is no valid reason for us to continue processing them. Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request due to specific legal reasons, in which case we will inform you accordingly.
Right to Object (GDPR Article 21): You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data, particularly when the processing is based on our legitimate interests. You may also object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Data Portability (GDPR Article 20): If our processing of your Personal Data is based on contractual grounds or consent and carried out by automated means, you are entitled to receive those data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You may also request that we transmit these data directly to another controller if technically feasible.
Right to Withdraw Consent (GDPR Article 13(2)(c)): If we are processing your Personal Data based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing activities carried out before the withdrawal.
You can exercise some of your data subject rights through your User Account. If you are unable to do so or if the right cannot be exercised through your account, please use the contact details provided at the end of this Policy to get in touch with us, and we will do our best to facilitate the exercise of your rights.
We aim to respond to any legitimate request within a month of its receipt, but it may take longer if the request is particularly complex or if multiple requests have been made. In such cases, we will keep you updated on the progress of your request.
We do not charge any fee for exercising the above rights unless your requests are clearly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or decline your request.

In addition to the rights granted under the GDPR, individuals residing in Egypt are entitled to certain rights under Egyptian law concerning their Personal Data. MediaBank is committed to upholding these rights and ensuring compliance with relevant Egyptian data protection regulations.
