6. User Rights


We recognize that different people have different privacy concerns and preferences. Our goal is to be clear about the information we collect so you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. We allow you to exercise certain choices, rights, and controls regarding your information.

Depending on your relationship with us, your jurisdiction, and the data protection laws that apply to you, you have the right to control and request implementation of certain limitations or rights.

For detailed information about your rights and how to exercise your rights, please contact us at: hello@thenextstories.com.

Additionally, certain rights can be exercised from the website: you can correct, revise, and delete information at any time using your account settings, any consent provided can be easily withdrawn, and you can unsubscribe from certain features and tracking.

We therefore recommend using the technical solutions we have provided to exercise your rights.

7. Data Retention


Generally, unless a different retention period is indicated above, we retain Personal Data we collect as long as it remains necessary for the purposes stated above, when law or regulation permits, or until you request deletion of your information, where applicable.

There are other circumstances where we may retain your Personal Data for longer periods when law or regulation permits, including:
(i) when we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements;
(ii) so we can maintain an accurate record of your transactions with us in case of claims or disputes; or
(iii) if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation concerning your Personal Data.

Please note that unless applicable law requires it or our specific agreements with you impose it, we will not be obligated to retain your Personal Data for any particular period, and we are free to delete it securely or restrict access to it for any reason and at any time, with or without notice.

If you have questions about our data retention policy, please contact us by email at: hello@thenextstories.com.

8. Security Measures


We implement appropriate technical, organizational, and security measures that comply with industry standards to reduce risks of information damage (or loss) or any unauthorized access or use of information.

However, these measures do not guarantee absolute information security. Therefore, while efforts are made to secure your Personal Data, there is no guarantee in this regard and you cannot expect the Services to be free from all information security risks or attacks.

Moreover, since information security depends partly on the security of the computer, device, or network you use to communicate with us, the security of your Personal Data also depends on you.

Therefore, ensure you take all appropriate measures to ensure safe use of the relevant networks and devices and to protect your access credentials. If you believe your privacy has not been handled correctly, or in a manner contrary to our Privacy Policy, or if you become aware of an attempt by a third party to gain unauthorized access to any of your Personal Data, please contact us at: dpo@lightricks.com.

If we discover a security incident related to your Personal Data, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you, as well as competent authorities (if required by applicable law).

9. International Data Transfer

Our data servers, where we host and store information, are located worldwide, including in the United States and EU. Our headquarters is based in France, where we may access information stored on local servers, cloud hosting servers, or other systems and platforms used. In cases where we need to transfer your Personal Data outside your jurisdiction, we will take all appropriate measures to ensure your Personal Data receives adequate protection, as required by applicable law. Additionally, when Personal Data collected in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), United Kingdom, or Switzerland is transferred outside these jurisdictions to a country that has not received an adequacy decision from the European Commission or ICO, we take all necessary measures to ensure sufficient safeguards are provided when transferring such Personal Data, in accordance with EU, UK, or Swiss standard contractual clauses.
