In compliance with the EU GDPR we are revising how transparent we will be with individual users and their rights to their data. All Medley users now have full rights to any sensitive data regarding their account and may contact support for any information on the topic if there is any confusion. All Medley users have the right to access, rectification, and erasure of their data. We avoid corporate jargon so that we can simply communicate about how we protect your data. Medley is giving its users a transparent approach where they have full rights to understanding and controlling all sensitive data with regard to their account.

  1. Any Medley associate who interacts with users, writes systems for user data, or analyzes user trends is being trained on the subject of the EU GDPR.

  2. In order to support the right for a user to be forgotten, we store internal documents reminding us the location and scope of user data. This allows us to completely erase all roots of user data, even if Medley is partnered with a third party. Internal documentation is not specific to each user, since users are documented in groups, so there are no sensitive details in this internal documentation.

    1. Consent is the simplest and most transparent lawful basis of those mentioned in which we query your interests before processing any data, and we do so in a straightforward manner with no beating around the bush. Any service or data processing you opt-in to can be opt-out of, and this also includes subscription services.

    2. Vital interests include interests of information about your connection to the servers so that we can protect our services from the likes of DDoS attacks and loris attacks, information necessary to provide users the bare minimum of our services, and information that allows users to interact with any of our products or share their information in said products with other users. An example of a vital interest is user authentication information, like a username or an email. This information is not shared with any third party without the user’s deliberate consent, meaning that they will know when they are sharing it. User passwords are not stored in the database as raw text, and are hashed and salted (unreadable format) so that the user is as protected as possible.

    3. Legitimate interests include interests of information that allow us to learn from our users’ feedback and better support them and the products that they use. An example of a legitimate interest is information about the amount of time a user spends using any given product, and determining the reasons which caused the user to stop using the product.
