Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Rinnova, our mission is to give people more control over their personal data. In case you haven’t read our website already, this means building tools that enables you to know where your personal data is, get it back, and tell companies what to do with it. We will never, ever sell your personal data.

The idea of a privacy policy that’s difficult to understand goes against the essence of Rinnova. We think companies should be transparent about how they handle personal data, and it shouldn’t take ages to read the key points. In that spirit, we’ve broken down the key takeaways from our privacy policy below. If you’d like to read the full thing, it’s just below this next section.

The fine print

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal data is defined as an information which may directly or indirectly relate to an identified or identifiable natural person. The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier. Such identifiers include location data, name, an online identifier, identification number, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of that natural person (the “Personal Data”).

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed by Rinnova in our business, including on our website and other online or offline offerings (a “Service” or collectively, the “Services”). Rinnova enables the visitors of its sitewww.rinnova.co.uk and platform to be in control of their personal data. We note that Rinnova acts as a ‘data controller’ and therefore are responsible for the personal data that they process. Rinnova provides controls to allow its visitors and users to have control over the privacy of personal data captured by our service. This privacy policy explains how Rinnova processes, stores and protects this personal data, as well as what your rights are as a user under current data protection legislation.

The responsible use of personal data and consumer rights are two areas that we champion. As such, all of our data processing operations are in strict compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) (specifically but not limited to Article 6(1) (b) to (f) and Article 28).

 

What kind of personal data is processed and for what purpose?

Usage data

When you use Rinnova to send requests to companies regarding your personal data, different types of personal data are processed and stored in order to complete requests. Firstly, the data processed by the ‘data controller’ (Rinnova) is primarily the information needed to create an account and identification. These include the name of the recipient of the request, the format of the request, the email address associated with the account, the name of the user’s profile, phone number, date of birth, photographic identity documentation and other requirements specific to the company’s need to identify you according to their records, such as a customer account number. This information can be shared by our users through Rinnova to send to companies of their choosing, that they want to request their data from. Information is also stored when individuals communicate with Rinnova via email, phone or other means.

In order to better understand their customers, Rinnova also collects anonymised data in surveys and other feedback methods. This helps us improve our service by tailoring our developments.

 

Lawful basis

Our lawful basis for processing your personal data, as required by data protection legislation, is our contract with our users. That contract is as set out in our terms and conditions. If we cannot process your personal data as set out in this notice, we cannot provide you with our service. We also do not currently process any special category data.

If we may take longer, we will let you know and explain the reasons for the delay. We will not charge you for such a request, unless we reasonably consider your request to be excessive or repetitive. We also reserve the right to refuse a request if we reasonably consider it unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
