4) Categories of Personal Data
Typical categories of personal data processed by the Services are:
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Profile | Name, email address, account ID, organization, role (e.g., editor, producer), authentication details, workspace settings, preferences (for example, theme, locale) | You / your organization |
| Project & Media Data | Scripts, text prompts, outlines, notes, generated voiceover audio, uploaded or generated video, images, captions, timelines, export configurations, and any metadata you attach to projects | You / your collaborators / your devices |
| Usage & Device | IP address, approximate region, device and browser information, unique identifiers, feature usage, interaction events, log entries, performance telemetry, error traces | Automatic (via the Service) |
| Support & Communications | Support tickets, email messages, in-product feedback, and diagnostics you choose to share when troubleshooting | You |
| Integrations (optional) | Data exchanged with tools you connect (for example, cloud storage, identity providers, editing workflows like NLE project exports) consistent with your settings | Third parties (as configured by you or your organization) |
5) Lawful Bases for Processing (Art. 6 GDPR)
Depending on your relationship with us and the context of processing, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:
- Contract — to provide, maintain, and support the Services you request (for example, managing your account, handling your Reactivid projects, generating voiceovers, timelines, and exports).
- Legitimate interests — to secure, operate, and improve the Services (for example, telemetry, abuse prevention, internal analytics) in a way that does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. We perform balancing tests where required.
- Consent — for certain optional activities such as non-essential cookies/analytics, some marketing communications, or optional data uses permitted by law. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law, regulatory requirements, and lawful requests from authorities.
| Purpose | Examples | Primary Lawful Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Deliver core Reactivid features | Account management, scripting, voiceover generation, storyboarding, export pipelines to editing tools | Contract |
| Support & operational communications | Responding to support tickets, service notifications, critical updates | Contract / Legitimate interests |
| Security & abuse prevention | Monitoring for fraud or abuse, access controls, incident response, rate limiting | Legitimate interests / Legal obligation |
| Product analytics & improvement | Aggregated feature usage metrics, performance diagnostics, testing new functionality | Legitimate interests / Consent (for certain cookies/analytics in EEA/UK) |
| Marketing (optional) | Email newsletters or campaigns you opt into about Reactivid updates | Consent (withdrawable at any time) |
| Legal & compliance | Record-keeping, responding to legal requests, enforcing our terms | Legal obligation / Legitimate interests |
6) AI, Language Models & Voice Generation
Reactivid uses AI models (including large language models, text-to-speech systems, and related tooling) to help transform scripts and prompts into structured video assets, such as outlines, captions, and voiceovers. Outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate or incomplete; they are intended as assistive tools for human creators, not standalone advice or decisions.
We may use de-identified or aggregated usage data to evaluate and improve AI features (for example, understanding which workflows are frequently used and where models underperform). Where required by applicable law, we will seek consent or provide an opt-out for certain uses. Limited human review of de-identified samples may occur under strict confidentiality to evaluate quality and safety.
Where third-party AI providers are used, they act as processors or sub-processors under contractual terms that restrict their use of personal data and include appropriate safeguards.
7) Processors & Sub-Processors
We engage vetted service providers for hosting, storage, analytics, security, email delivery, support, and related services. Each provider is bound by a data processing agreement with confidentiality, security, and sub-processing obligations consistent with GDPR/UK GDPR.
A current list of material sub-processors can be made available on request and is generally provided to enterprise customers through our DPA or related documentation. We will notify customers of material changes to sub-processors in accordance with our contractual commitments.
8) International Data Transfers
Personal data may be processed in countries outside the EEA/UK, including Canada and the United States. Where data are transferred internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards such as:
- EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) for transfers from the EEA, and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum for UK transfers;
- Data transfer risk assessments and supplementary measures, where appropriate;
- Contractual commitments with processors and sub-processors to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those required by GDPR/UK GDPR.
9) Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this notice and our Privacy Policy, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and context (for example, account records vs. project/media assets vs. technical logs).
When data are no longer needed, we delete or irreversibly de-identify them in accordance with our internal policies. Backup copies are kept only for limited periods required for resilience and disaster recovery.
10) Security (Art. 32 GDPR)
We implement technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, which may include encryption in transit, access controls, environment isolation, logging, least-privilege practices, and periodic security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the relevant supervisory authorities and affected users where required by law, and take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact.
11) Automated Decision-Making & Profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. The AI capabilities in Reactivid are designed to support creative and production workflows (for example, generating script suggestions or voiceover drafts) and remain subject to your control and editorial judgment.
12) Your GDPR Rights
Subject to the conditions and exceptions in GDPR/UK GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Right of access (Art. 15): Obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of that data along with certain information.
- Right to rectification (Art. 16): Request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (Art. 17): Request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances (for example, where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal basis for retention applies).
- Right to restriction (Art. 18): Request that we restrict processing in certain situations (for example, while we assess a contested accuracy claim).
- Right to data portability (Art. 20): Receive personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and transmit it to another controller where technically feasible and legally required.
- Right to object (Art. 21): Object to processing based on our legitimate interests and to direct marketing (including related profiling). We will stop such processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is needed for legal claims.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise these rights, contact us at craig@ellwoodbristol.com . We may need to verify your identity and may ask for additional information to process your request. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Where we act as a processor for an organizational customer, we may direct you to contact that controller (for example, your studio, agency, or employer), and we will assist them in responding to your request as required by our DPA.
13) Complaints & Supervisory Authorities
If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes GDPR/UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (DPA) or, as applicable, the authority in the place of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
We encourage you to contact us first at craig@ellwoodbristol.com so we can attempt to address your concerns directly.
15) Controller–Processor Terms (DPA)
For organizational customers where Reactivid acts as a processor, our DPA incorporates the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR/UK GDPR, including:
- Subject matter and duration of processing;
- Nature and purpose of processing (for example, AI-assisted video scripting, voiceover generation, and export workflows);
- Types of personal data and categories of data subjects;
- Obligations and rights of the controller, including confidentiality and security measures;
- Sub-processor controls, data subject request assistance, DPIA support, and audit rights where applicable.
Customers may request a copy of the DPA or its key terms by contacting us through the usual support channels or at the email listed above.
16) Changes to This GDPR Notice
We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing activities, Services, or legal requirements. If changes are material, we will provide appropriate notice (for example, via the Reactivid interface or by email where appropriate) and update the effective date at the top of this page.
