This is Sci-Buy Limited's (t/a REKKI) (we/us/our) privacy policy for the REKKI app as well as all websites, platforms and services that link to the REKKI app which are operated by REKKI (together, the "App") unless covered by a separate privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy describes who we are, why and how we collect, process, and disclose your personal information (also referred to here as personal data) in conjunction with your access to and use of the App and your rights and how to contact us if you need to. This policy applies to all users of the App unless covered by a separate privacy policy.
All those subject to this policy are referred to as "users" for purposes of this policy. Our App allows buyers and suppliers to contact and converse with each other primarily for the purpose of making and fulfilling orders of goods.
Our contact details are set out at the end of this policy. We are the controller in relation to the personal data processed in accordance with this policy (except where this policy explains otherwise).
Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
We may process your personal data if:
Information we collect from you or from a third party
We may process your personal data that we have either obtained from you or obtained from somewhere else. Personal data which is not collected directly from you may be collected:
Personal data relating to you that we process may include:
Information that we obtain from you when you use our Apps may include:
Our App uses cookies and/or other similar technologies such as device-ID, in-App codes, pixel tags or web beacons to collect and store certain information. These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies and similar technologies enable you to be remembered when using that computer or device to interact with websites and online services and can be used to manage a range of features and content as well as storing searches and presenting personalised content.
Our App uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users of our App. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use our App and also allows us to improve our App.
A number of cookies and similar technologies we use last only for the duration of your web or app session and expire when you exit the App. Others are used to remember you when you return to the App and will last for longer.
We use these cookies and other technologies on the basis that they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights), and, in some cases, where required by law, where you have consented to their use.
We use the following categories of cookies on Rekki.com and any web browser versions of our App:
You can withdraw your consent to these cookies at any time through the following options:

Information we collect about you from your use of our App
We will use this information in our legitimate interests, where we have considered these are not overridden by your rights:
Chat and Order Information
We confirm that we will not disclose to third parties that are not part of the chat any orders or chats that take place between users of the App in any way which would allow a user and/or the company they work for to be identified directly. This means that no user will be able to see what another user that is not part of the chat orders in a way that would link it directly to that user
We may however collect and distribute aggregated and anonymised information (information relating to our users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies an individual user) about our users and any orders they place though the App. If we choose to do this we will ensure that no individual user or company can be directly identified from that data.
Where permitted in our legitimate interest or with your prior consent where required by law, we will use your personal information for marketing analysis and to provide you with promotional update communications.
You can object to further marketing at any time by changing your privacy settings in the App or by sending us an email to dataprotection@rekki.com.

You cannot be identified from aggregate information used for these purposes.
We may share your personal data with:
Other disclosures we may make
We will disclose your personal information to third parties:
The data that we process in relation to you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") that may not be subject to equivalent data protection law. It may also be processed by staff situated outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers.
We may transfer your personal information outside the EEA:
In order to provide the services we may transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA. Where your information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as relying on a recognised legal adequacy mechanism, and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our App; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Our website may, from time to time, contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites.
We retain personal data for as long as you have an account with us in order to meet our contractual obligations to you and for six years after that to identify any issues and resolve any legal proceedings. We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services. You cannot be identified from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.
You have the right under certain circumstances:
You may opt out at any time from allowing further access by us to your location data by changing the privacy settings on your device or by emailing us at dataprotection@rekki.com.
You can also stop all information collection by un-installing the App. You may use the standard un-install processes as may be available for your mobile device.
If you would like us to delete your account, please use the “Delete Account” function. On receiving such a request, we will delete or anonymise your personal data so that it no longer identifies you. To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may maintain residual copies for a brief time period (generally several weeks). But, if you delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable after that time.
Your right to withdraw consent:
Where the processing of your personal information by us is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent without detriment at any time by contacting us.
How to exercise your rights
You can also exercise the rights listed above at any time by contacting us at dataprotection@rekki.com.
If your request or concern is not satisfactorily resolved by us, you may approach your local data protection authority, (see here). The Information Commissioner is the supervisory authority in the UK and can provide further information about your rights and our obligations in relation to your personal data, as well as deal with any complaints that you have about our processing of your personal data.
Any changes we make to our privacy policy in future will be posted on our App at and, in relation to substantive changes, will be notified to you by e-mail. This policy was last updated on 18 July, 2019.
