Contract
We process your personal data when necessary for contractual reasons, such as to administer your account registration and to provide products and services that you have requested.
Legal obligation
We are legally required to process your personal data in cases where we need to respond to certain requests by government or law enforcement authorities.
Who Readability5 shares personal data with
We will share your personal data with the following recipients:
- commercial partners, so they can advise us how best to communicate with you on their behalf. We do not give your data to partners for them to communicate with you directly.
- third party suppliers involved in data insights; website hosting; advertising; systems maintenance; database management; identity checking; payment processing; delivery logistics; and
- government authorities to assist with their official requests and comply with our legal obligations.
Personal data transfers outside of the EEA
The EEA includes all EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Some of the third parties that we share personal data with, may need to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, for example to the United States of America.
Where your personal data is transferred to a country outside of the EEA and that country is not subject to an EU adequacy decision, we will ensure your data is protected by appropriate safeguards (for example, EU approved standard contractual clauses, a Privacy Shield certification, or a supplier’s Binding Corporate Rules). A copy of the relevant safeguard can be provided for your review on request – click here for information on how to contact us and exercise your rights.
How long Readability5 retains personal data and security
We retain personal data about your membership for as long as your account remains active, and for 5 years after (in case you decide to reactivate your membership or have queries about it).
We retain personal data relating to your subscriptions for 5 years from the date of the relevant transaction. This is to understand your preferences and to meet our legal and contractual obligations.
Where you have asked us not to send you direct marketing, we keep a record of that fact to ensure we respect your request in future.
We also retain information with the potential to give rise to legal disputes for 7 years from the expiry or termination of any contracts.
We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us. Click here for information on how to contact us and exercise your rights.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Your rights to withdraw consent and to object (including to direct marketing)
Wherever we rely on your consent to process personal data, you always have a right to withdraw that consent.
You also have the right to object to any use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, as well as to processing that we undertake based on our legitimate interests.

- to correct or delete your personal data
- to restrict (i.e. stop any active) processing of your personal data
- to provide you with certain personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another organisation
These rights may not always apply, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have a compelling legitimate interest in keeping. If this is the case then we’ll let you know when we respond to your request.
