These Terms and Conditions of Use (hereinafter, the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the audiovisual content platform known as Siroko TV, accessible via the website https://www.siroko.com/tv and the mobile applications for the iOS and Android operating systems (hereinafter, collectively, the “Platform”).
The Platform is owned by SIROKO SOLUTIONS, S.L. (hereinafter, “Siroko”), a commercial company incorporated under Spanish law, with its registered office at Plaza 6 de Agosto nº 6, 2º, 33203 Gijón (Asturias), holding Tax ID No. B33950338, registered in the Commercial Registry of Asturias in Volume 3646, Book 1, Folio 83, Section Eight, Page AS-37176, and whose contact information is: telephone +34 984 49 37 44 and email gdpr@siroko.com.
The Platform allows users to access audiovisual content owned by Siroko, content licensed by third parties, and content generated by the users themselves through the Siroko Creator program, as well as to interact with such content in accordance with the features enabled at any given time.
Use of the Platform, whether as a visiting user or a registered user, implies full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms, as well as the Legal Notice and Privacy Policy published on the Platform. Users who do not accept the Terms must refrain from accessing the Platform and using its features.
2. Acceptance and Capacity
Acceptance of the Terms is demonstrated by performing any of the following actions: (i) accessing the Platform as a visiting user; (ii) creating a user account via the registration form; or (iii) checking the box to accept the Terms provided for that purpose during the sign-up process.
Checking the acceptance box will create an electronic record of the accepted version and the date and time of acceptance, in accordance with Article 23 et seq. of Law 34/2002 of July 11 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (hereinafter, “LSSI-CE”), and Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 23, 2014, on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (“eIDAS Regulation”).
The user declares that they have sufficient legal capacity to enter into contracts and be bound by the Terms. Use of the Platform is restricted to individuals over the age of 18. Individuals under the age of 18 may only access the Platform under the supervision and with the prior consent of their parents or legal guardians. Siroko will not knowingly collect personal data from children under 14 years of age, and if it becomes aware that a registered user is under that age, it will immediately cancel their account, in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and Article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018 of December 5 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (“LOPDGDD”).
3. Free Access and Beta Phase of the Service
Access to and use of the Platform is currently free for all users, whether registered or not. Siroko reserves the right to introduce, in the future, premium features or content subject to payment, in which case the user will be notified prior to use and must expressly accept such terms.
The Platform is in the beta phase, which means it is a version under development and testing prior to its final launch. Consequently, the user expressly acknowledges and accepts that: (i) the Platform may contain technical errors, temporary interruptions, or functional limitations; (ii) certain features may not be fully available or may be modified or removed without prior notice; (iii) Siroko may update, modify, suspend, or interrupt the service for maintenance, improvement, or development purposes; and (iv) the Platform is provided “as is,” without Siroko guaranteeing continuity, availability, or freedom from errors, to the extent permitted by law.
The beta phase will have an indefinite duration and will conclude when Siroko expressly announces the transition to the production version of the service. The use of the Platform during the beta phase does not entitle the user to demand specific service levels, technical stability, or the permanence of features.
4. User Registration and Account Security
The user may create an account by providing the information required in the registration form, which must in all cases be truthful, accurate, up-to-date, and belong to the user. Siroko may verify the accuracy of the information provided and, if inaccuracies or impersonation are detected, may suspend or cancel the account.
The user is solely responsible for safeguarding their login credentials and for all activity conducted under their account. The user shall promptly notify Siroko of any unauthorized use of their account or any security incident of which they become aware.
The user may unsubscribe at any time using the feature enabled in their account settings or, failing that, by contacting the email address indicated in clause 1.
5. User-Generated Content and the Siroko Creator Program
The Platform allows certain users, through the Siroko Creator program, to publish their own audiovisual content (hereinafter, “User Content” or “UGC”), as well as to interact with such content through comments, ratings, or other features that may be enabled from time to time.
Zero Tolerance. Siroko maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward objectionable content and toward users who engage in abusive, discriminatory, or unlawful conduct. The publication, dissemination, or attempted publication or dissemination of any content prohibited by these Terms will result in the immediate removal of the content and the expulsion of the offending user, without prejudice to any applicable legal actions.

7.1. Proactive filtering. Siroko applies systems for filtering and detecting prohibited content, which may include automated analysis of metadata, keywords, images, and video, as well as subsequent human review. The implementation of these systems does not exempt the user from liability for the content they upload and does not imply a general obligation of supervision on the part of Siroko within the meaning of Article 8 of the DSA Regulation.

Any user or third party may notify Siroko of the existence of allegedly illegal or objectionable content through the following channels: (i) the “Report” button enabled on each piece of content and each comment posted on the Platform; (ii) the email address dmca@siroko.com for notifications regarding intellectual property infringements; and (iii) the email address gdpr@siroko.com or the ethics reporting channel available at https://fdigital.es/siroko-ced/ for all other notifications.

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 13, 2024, establishing harmonized rules on artificial intelligence (hereinafter, the “AI Regulation”), and with the European Commission’s guidelines on the labeling of synthetic content, Siroko informs users that certain content on the Platform may have been generated, modified, or manipulated using artificial intelligence systems.

Meddelelse om brugen af kunstig intelligens og mærkning af indhold
SIROKOTV informerer sine brugere om, at i overensstemmelse med forordning (EU) 2024/1689 fra Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet af 13. juni 2024 om fælles regler for kunstig intelligens og om ændring af forordning (EF) nr. 300/2008, forordning (EU) nr. 167/2013, forordning (EU) nr. 168/2013, forordning (EU) 2018/858, forordning (EU) 2018/1139 og forordning (EU) 2019/2144 samt direktiv 2014/90/EU, direktiv (EU) 2016/797 og direktiv (EU) 2020/1828 (forordningen om kunstig intelligens), kan noget af det indhold, der er tilgængeligt på platformen, være blevet genereret, ændret eller manipuleret ved hjælp af systemer baseret på kunstig intelligens (AI).
Formålet med denne politik er at sikre en ansvarlig, gennemsigtig og sikker anvendelse af kunstig intelligens i det digitale audiovisuelle miljø.
1. Registrering af AI-skabt eller AI-redigeret indhold
SIROKOTV anvender et visuelt og tekstuelt mærkningssystem til at identificere indhold, der:
- Er blevet skabt helt eller delvist af AI-systemer.
- Er blevet digitalt ændret eller manipuleret på en måde, der kan vildlede med hensyn til dets autenticitet.
2. Begrænsninger og ansvarlighed
SIROKOTV kan ikke garantere ægtheden af alt indhold, der uploades af brugere. På trods af automatiserede værktøjer og menneskelige gennemgange kan der forekomme materiale uden mærkning, som indeholder elementer skabt af AI eller digitale ændringer.
Derfor rådes brugerne til at:
- Analysere de viste videoer kritisk.
- Ikke antage, at billeder, stemmer eller udsagn afspejler faktiske begivenheder.
- Rapportere alt indhold, der kan anses for manipuleret eller potentielt vildledende.
3. Principper for gennemsigtighed og sporbarhed
I overensstemmelse med AI-forordningen og Europa-Kommissionens retningslinjer for mærkning af syntetisk indhold forpligter SIROKOTV sig til at:
- Anvende metadata og digitale vandmærkesystemer til at mærke syntetisk indhold.
- Implementere manuelle og automatiserede gennemgangsprocedurer.
- Samarbejde med kompetente myndigheder om at identificere deepfakes eller misbrug af AI.
4. Følsomt indhold eller indhold med høj risiko
SIROKOTV vil anvende øget overvågning og blokeringsforanstaltninger, når AI-genereret indhold opdages, som:
- Kan være vildledende i politiske, sundhedsmæssige eller offentlige sikkerhedsmæssige sammenhænge.
- Indebærer efterligning af virkelige personer eller krænker billedrettigheder.
5. Brugerrettigheder
Brugere kan anmode om gennemgang eller fjernelse af indhold, når de mener, at det overtræder denne AI-gennemsigtighedspolitik. Anmodninger skal indsendes via kontaktformularen, der er tilgængelig på platformen, eller til e-mailadressen til den juridiske afdeling, der er angivet i den generelle meddelelse.
Tjeneste leveres i betaversion
SIROKO TV-platformen er på nuværende tidspunkt i en betafase, hvilket betyder, at det er en version, der udvikles og testes forud for dens endelige frigivelse.
Som konsekvens heraf anerkender og accepterer brugeren at:
- Platformen kan være underlagt tekniske fejl, midlertidig afbrydelse af tjeneste, funktionelle begrænsninger eller ændringer af funktioner uden forudgående varsel.
- Visse funktioner, indhold eller tjenester er måske ikke fuldt tilgængelige og kan være modificerede eller fjernede under betaperioden.
- SIROKO kan opdatere, modificere, suspendere eller delvist eller fuldt begrænse adgangen til platformen for at kunne udføre vedligeholdelse, forbedringer, korrektioner eller forbedringer af tjenester.
- Adgang til og brug af platformen i betafasen stilles til rådighed “som den er”, og SIROKO giver ingen garantier for kontinuitet, tilgængelighed eller fravær af fejl, i det omfang det er tilladt i henhold til gældende lovgivning.
- Brugen af platformen i betafasen giver ikke ret til at kræve bestemte serviceniveauer, teknisk stabilitet eller fortsat tilgængelighed af funktioner.
Betafasen har en tidsmæssigt ubegrænset varighed og afsluttes, når SIROKO udtrykkeligt annoncerer overgangen til den endelige version eller produktionsversionen af tjenesten.
Rapportering af hændelser og forslag
Under platformens betafase kan brugeren indberette eventuelle konstaterede fejl, tekniske hændelser, forslag til forbedringer eller bemærkninger vedrørende platformens funktion til SIROKO via de kontaktkanaler, der er angivet til dette formål på hjemmesiden.
Alle sådanne henvendelser anses for at være udelukkende frivillige og af informativ karakter, og indsendelsen heraf forpligter ikke SIROKO til at besvare, implementere, rette eller på anden måde tage de modtagne forslag, hændelser eller observationer til følge, ligesom indsendelsen ikke giver brugeren nogen rettigheder i forhold til eventuelle heraf følgende forbedringer, udviklinger eller ændringer.
SIROKO kan frit anvende de modtagne oplysninger til analyse, forbedring, udvikling og videreudvikling af tjenesten, uden at dette indebærer nogen anerkendelse af immaterielle rettigheder, økonomisk kompensation eller angivelse af ophavsret til fordel for brugeren.
