Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. Therefore, we use your personal data strictly within the legal limits of the applicable data protection laws.

With this privacy policy, we inform you of the personal data we collect when you use our services.

Translated S.r.l. collects and uses your personal data exclusively in compliance with the requirements in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council of April 27, 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter GDPR) and Italian data protection law. In the following, we inform you about the type, scope, and purposes of the collection and use of personal data.

1 Surfing data and cookies

1.1 Surfing data

The computer systems and programs used for the website’s operation collect some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g. IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users who connect to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers) of resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, file size obtained in response, numerical code for the status of the response submitted by the server – successful, error, etc., and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment). Although this sort of information is not collected to be associated with identified users, through processing and in association with data held by third parties, it could by its very nature allow for users to be identified.

These data types are used solely to obtain statistical information about the website’s usage and serve to check the site’s correct operation; they are thus not associated with any given user ID and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the case of computer crimes against the site: except this eventuality, data on web contacts are currently not held for more than seven days.

1.2 Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files sent by websites visited by users to their computers, storing information that will be retrieved on the next visit to the site. While surfing a given website, users may receive cookies transmitted from different sites (so-called ‘third-party’ cookies), as specific links to the web pages of other domains.

Cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, depending on the sites on which they are installed; they can be used as a mode of information authentication, to monitor sessions, or store specific data on users accessing the server.

Types of cookies. Some cookies (‘technical’ cookies) are “strictly necessary” to ensure the website’s operability or to provide services explicitly requested by the user (e.g. preserving selected travel solutions, memorizing the browser navigation language setting, etc.).

Similarly, the website makes use of another type of cookie (so-called “analytics” cookies) to analyze accesses and visits to the site, solely for statistical purposes, by collecting information in an aggregated form. The use of such cookies does not require consent. However, users can request at any time that analytics cookies be deactivated by following the instructions outlined below. For more information see the Privacy Policy for Google Analytics.

The website also makes use of cookies to facilitate its fruition (e.g. to store information gathered within a single web browser session and entered by users in forms while surfing through the different pages, or the use of the password memorization function), as well as cookies for collecting information to direct targeted promotional messages based on user preferences and profiles, even in real-time, and developed based on statistics and each user’s browsing experience. The installation of such cookies requires the user’s prior consent. Users have the right to accept or refuse the use of cookies at any time, or to remove any cookies previously accepted by changing their browser settings.

2 Definition of public, private and personal data

We will refer to all the videos and the reference SRT files uploaded to Matesub as “Private Data”.

We will refer as “Personal Data” to all the information provided by the users about their identity

during authentication flows, necessary to access our service;
during web browsing or API consuming, used for tracking purposes.

2.1 Information collected during your visit

We collect and store on a long-term basis any subtitle project submitted.

We collect and store on a long-term basis both the originals you submit to us and the subtitles that originate from them.

We may collect tracking data and send cookies to provide a better user experience during your visit.

We may collect information such as IP address, visiting time, duration, etc. for internal logging purposes.

When you log into any of our services, we collect the “Personal Data” you submit to provide these services.

2.2 How we use the information we collect

We will not share, sell or transfer any “Personal Data” to third parties without users’ express consent.

All videos and subtitles are collected, processed and used by Matesub to create internal statistics and provide an improved service.

The user may request to delete a video or a Matesub project via email at any moment.

Matesub uses external partners to outsource some developments and provide some functionalities this involves data sharing. External Machine Translation providers are the most obvious example.

We are fully committed to ensuring that personal information confidentiality is protected and maintained.

To share subtitling projects among translators, Matesub uses a public access link system: each subtitling job is represented and accessed by an HTTPS link referred to as “Target link”.

From this link is possible to:

access and edit the subtitles related to that job
download a work in progress preview of the subtitles file
download the final subtitles file after all the subtitles have been completed
