Individual Rights Requests

In certain circumstances, you have certain rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, as set out below.

Data Subject Access Request

You will not usually have to pay a fee to exercise any of the rights in this section. However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may refuse to comply with your request or charge a reasonable fee for the administrative cost of complying with your request. We may need to ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity and to ensure we can satisfy your request. This is a security measure to ensure your personal data is not disclosed to anyone who is not entitled to receive it. We aim to respond to all requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month to respond, if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests; we will let you know within the month if this is the case and will keep you updated on our response time. Please contact dataprotection@rekreate.com to request a copy of personal data about you which we hold.

Data Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

Deleting your online account won’t delete any data you’ve shared with ReKreate for reasons that aren’t connected with your online account. If you wish us to erase your data which is unconnected with your online account, please contact us (dataprotection@rekreate.com) and we will deal with your request as necessary under applicable law. We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal and regulatory reasons.

To the extent provided by applicable law and in certain circumstances, you have the following rights:

to request rectification of your personal data, which means that you have the right to request changes to incorrect or incomplete information that we hold about you

to request not to be subject to solely automated decision making, including profiling, which have a legal or similarly significant effect
