Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 September 2026

This policy explains how LK1 Limited (“Recce Net”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data when you use Recce Net — the field app on iOS, Android and the web (https://app.reccenet.com), the admin console (https://admin.reccenet.com), the Recce Net Admin app and our website (https://reccenet.com) — and the rights you have under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1Who we are

LK1 Limited is registered in England and Wales (company number 16562549), registered office Office 3 Grg House, Cobden Street, Salford, England, M6 6NA.

For anything about your personal data, contact us at help@reccenet.com.

2Our role: controller or processor

  • For organisations using a Team Pack, the organisation decides what its people record — recces, clients, medical plans, movements, messages and so on. The organisation is the controller of that data and we are its processor: we handle it only on its instructions, under our Data Processing Addendum. If you are a member of an organisation’s workspace, its own privacy notice also applies, and it should be your first contact for requests about that data.
  • For individuals on an Individual Pack, you decide what you record, and you are responsible for the personal data of others that you put in. We process that data on your behalf in the same way.
  • We are the controller of data we use for our own purposes: your account, billing, security, support, service emails, usage needed to run and improve Recce Net, and our website and waiting list.

4How we use it and why

PurposeLawful basis (UK GDPR Article 6)
Providing the Service: accounts, workspaces, recces, reports, maps, messaging, notifications, AI featuresContract with you; for organisations’ data, their instructions (we are processor)
Billing, trials, invoices, collecting payments and preventing repeat free trialsContract; legal obligation (tax records); legitimate interests (preventing abuse)

Service emails: invitations, verification outcomes, payment and trial notices, daily logs and reports your workspace asks forContract; legitimate interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your rights and expectations. You can ask us about that assessment. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.

5Health data, ID documents and location

Health data

Medical profiles and medical plans can contain health information, which is special category data. Officers fill in their own medical profile if they choose to, so that their team can help them in an emergency. Details of clients are added by the team protecting them, which must have a lawful basis and an Article 9 condition (usually explicit consent) for doing so. Medical profiles are encrypted with a key specific to the workspace and can be read only by the person themselves, workspace supervisors, and members of an active operation they are on.

Identity documents

Where a workspace requires ID verification, documents are stored in private, access-controlled storage and viewed only by the workspace’s owner, admins and supervisors who approve them. They are deleted when your account is erased.

Location

  • The field app uses your location only when you choose to share your position during an operation or movement, and for maps and nearby searches you ask for.
  • While you are sharing, including when the app is in the background, your device shows a notification. You can stop sharing at any time, and sharing stops when the operation or movement ends.
  • Your position is visible to the members of that operation and to your workspace’s supervisors. Where your team uses a client status link, the client may see the operation’s status and progress.
  • Location history is kept with the operation record for as long as the workspace keeps that record, and is deleted with the workspace. The Recce Net Admin app does not collect its user’s location.

6AI features

When you use AI features, such as risk scoring, photo analysis, voice-note structuring, report drafting, briefs, route analysis and intelligence summaries, the content needed for that task is sent to our AI provider, OpenAI, through its business API. Under OpenAI’s API terms, that content is not used to train its models, and it is kept by OpenAI only for a short period for abuse monitoring. AI outputs are suggestions for a person to check; they are not used to make automated decisions about you.

7Who can see it and who helps us

Inside your workspace

Your workspace’s owner, admins and supervisors can see its people and content according to their role. Recces are visible to the people they are shared with or to the whole workspace, depending on the settings you choose. Content you deliberately share outside the workspace, for example with a linked crew or in the shared library, is visible to the recipients.

Service providers (sub-processors)

We use carefully chosen providers for hosting, storage, email, payments, maps, notifications and AI. They may process personal data only on our instructions and must protect it. The full list, with what each does and where, is on our Sub-processors page.

Other disclosures

We share personal data if the law requires it, for example with the police or a court under a valid legal request, to protect someone’s life or safety, or as part of a sale or reorganisation of our business, in which case your data stays protected under this policy.

8Where it is stored

Our main database and file storage are hosted in the United Kingdom (Amazon Web Services, London, through our database provider Supabase). Some providers, such as those for web hosting, email, payments, maps, notifications and AI, may process data in the United States or elsewhere. Where personal data leaves the UK, we rely on UK adequacy regulations (including the UK–US data bridge where the provider is certified), or on the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

9How long we keep it

DataHow long
Account detailsWhile your account is active. After you ask to delete it, your personal details are erased after 30 days (see section 12)
Operational content in a workspaceFor as long as the workspace keeps it. When a workspace is closed, it is deleted within 30 days of any export the owner asks for
Team messages90 days by default; a workspace can choose a different period
In-app notifications60 days
News and intelligence feed items30 days
Identity documentsUntil verification is withdrawn or your account is erased
Billing records and invoices6 years after the end of the financial year they relate to, as UK tax law requires
Security and audit logsFor as long as the workspace exists. Entries about an erased account no longer show the person’s name
BackupsDaily backups, each deleted after 7 days
Website enquiries and waiting listUp to 24 months after our last contact, or sooner if you ask

10How we protect it

  • All connections are encrypted in transit, and data is encrypted at rest.
  • Each workspace’s data is separated from every other workspace by database access rules, which we test automatically.
  • Team messages are end-to-end encrypted. Medical profiles are encrypted with a workspace-specific key.
  • Files such as photos and documents are kept in private storage and opened through short-lived, signed links.
  • Accounts can use multi-factor authentication, and sensitive actions can require it again. Suspended people are signed out everywhere.
  • Important actions are recorded in a tamper-evident audit log.

More detail is on our Security & Disclosure page. If a personal data breach is likely to put you at risk, we will tell you, and the ICO where required, without undue delay.

11Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you can ask us to:

  • give you a copy of your personal data (you can also download your own data from Account in the console);
  • correct data that is wrong or incomplete;
  • erase your data;
  • restrict how we use it, or object to our use based on legitimate interests;
  • give you your data in a portable format;
  • stop using it for product news (every email has an unsubscribe link).

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Email help@reccenet.com. We reply within one month. Where the data belongs to an organisation’s workspace, we will pass your request to that organisation and help it respond.

12Deleting your account

You can ask to delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account), in the console (Account), or by emailing us. Your personal details are erased after 30 days; sign in before then if you change your mind. Work you created for a team stays with that team, credited to “Erased user”. Full details are on our Account Deletion page.

13Children, marketing and cookies

  • Recce Net is for adults working in security. It is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
  • We only send product news to people who have agreed to receive it, or to business contacts where the law allows. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • We use only strictly necessary cookies. See our Cookie Policy.

14Changes and complaints

We will update this policy when our practices change and show the date at the top. For significant changes we will tell you in the Service or by email.

If you have a concern, please contact us first at help@reccenet.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
