Before you enter the wonderful world of stories, please take a moment and read these Terms of Use carefully. These Terms of Use are important since they regulate the relationship between yourself and Storytel - and as such affect your legal rights and obligations.
STORYTEL TERMS OF USE
Storytel Sweden AB and its affiliates (hereinafter “Storytel”, “us”, “our” or “we”) offers a subscription service with personalized features and functionalities (the “Service”) that allows our users (hereinafter “you”) to access audiobooks, ebooks and other content (the “Content”) made available over the Internet via the Service to a compatible internet-accessible device.

Any pre-installed content filters, such as e.g. “Kids mode” or other similar filter functions that may be offered in the Service from time to time, are offered to you as an optional function. Since the information that the filters are based on is provided to Storytel by other parties, such as the publishers of the Content, Storytel does not take any responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of these filters and cannot guarantee that these filters will work to your personal satisfaction.
4.2.
If and where a pre-installed “Kids mode” filter is offered to you, the settings of this filter have been made based on information from the Content’s publishers that such Content is suitable for children aged twelve (12) years old or younger. This means that the Content made available in "Kids mode" may include any and all content and genres in the Storytel content catalogue intended for kids up to the age of 12.

7.1.
Storytel processes Your personal data for various purposes. Primarily, Storytel processes Your personal data in order to manage the customer relationship with You and to fulfill its legal obligations. Your personal data may also be processed for market and customer analysis, market research, statistics, business monitoring and business and methodological development for Storytel in order to develop and customize the Service and its features.

Storytel also processes Your personal data to provide better and more personalized offers and services. Storytel also processes Your personal data to decrease the risk of sending You irrelevant advertising or other types of irrelevant marketing . Personal data may, for example, be processed, linked, segmented and analyzed in order, by means of targeted marketing via for instance email, in app push notifications and advertising on third party channels, to provide information, offers or recommendations on Storytel’s or its partners’ goods and services, which are tailored to Your preferences, behavior, needs or lifestyle. It may also be used as a basis for targeted marketing towards audiences that are similar to Storytel’s existing users.

Storytel may also analyze and combine the information about You to which Storytel has access via the Service from Your online visits or other records (e.g. Facebook or other similar social media providers) for purposes specified in this section.
7.3.
In addition to the above, Storytel processes Your personal data to prevent, detect and investigate potential prohibited or illegal activities, including fraud, and to enforce our Terms (e.g. determining whether You are eligible for a Free Trial period or for any other offer or marketing campaign as the case may be).
8. What is the legal basis for the processing?
8.1.
A majority of the personal data that Storytel processes about You are processed because it is necessary for Storytel’s performance of the Terms, i.e. in order for Storytel to be able to provide and administer the Service and its features. Such is the case when Storytel processes e.g. Your contact details such as Your e-mail address or Your phone number and information from the payment service provider.
8.2.
Some of the personal data which Storytel processes are processed based on a balance of interest, i.e. Storytel’s legitimate interest of processing the data outweighs the impact and risk the processing may have on Your integrity. Such is the case when Storytel processes Your personal data for support purposes (e.g. general support requests) or certain marketing purposes other than for direct marketing and when we store Your Storytel audio/ebook (including other literary content) library information after Your subscription has ended.
8.3.
Additionally, some personal data is processed based on Your consent. This is the case for the processing of such personal data that Storytel gets access to via Your Facebook account, for direct marketing of Storytel’s or Storytel’s partners’ goods and services. If You provide personal data of other natural persons, such as Your family members, You are responsible for seeing to that they consent to the processing of their personal data.
8.4.
To the extent that processing is carried out with consent as a sole legal basis, it is voluntary for You to give such a consent and You may at any time, wholly or partly, withdraw Your consent.
9. Data security and Integrity
9.1.
The security, integrity and confidentiality of Your personal data is very important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures that are designed to protect Your personal data from in particular unauthorized access or disclosure, use, modification, destruction and loss. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to assess the need to implement additional measures or to make technical upgrades to existing procedures. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, few security measures are impenetrable, and we therefore kindly ask that You inform us immediately of any suspicious activities that You notice in the Service.
10. Who does Storytel disclose your personal data to?
10.1.
Storytel may disclose Your personal data to its affiliates, i.e. to companies within the Storytel group, business partners, suppliers and other third parties in order to fulfil the agreement with You or to fulfil agreements with Storytel’s suppliers and business partners or otherwise according to the purposes set out in this privacy policy. This might be the case when we provide information to e.g. Your bank to prove compliance and sort out misunderstandings etc.
10.2.
