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.
3What we collect
| Kind of data | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name, email, phone number, officer ID, photo, workspace, role, team roles, password (stored only as a secure hash), authenticator settings | You, or the workspace that invited you |
| Identity verification | Images of a driving licence or other ID, and the review outcome | You, where your workspace requires verification |
| Operational content | Recces: venue details, routes, access and evacuation plans, photos, videos, voice notes and transcripts, documents; movements, daily orders, logs and incidents; vehicle and team line-ups | You and your team |
| People in operational content | Clients (principals) and their details; names of colleagues, drivers and contacts; people visible in photos | You and your team |
| Health data | Medical profiles (blood group, allergies, conditions, medication, emergency contact); medical plans | You and your team — see section 5 |
| Location | Device location while you share your position during an operation or movement; places you search for or pin on a map | Your device, when you choose to share |
| Messages | Team messages and attachments (end-to-end encrypted), read and acknowledgement receipts | You and your team |
| Billing | Billing name, email and address, Pack and invoice history, payment status. Card details are held by Stripe; we keep only an irreversible fingerprint of the card, to enforce one free trial per card | You, and Stripe |
| Device and technical | Push-notification token, app version, device type, IP address, timestamps, security and audit logs, error information | Your device and our systems |
| Support and communications | Emails and messages you send us | You |
| Website and waiting list | Name, work email, company, job title, team size, country, your message, the page you came from and your browser type | You, when you fill in a form on our website |
We do not use advertising trackers or analytics cookies, and we do not sell personal data.
4How we use it and why
| Purpose | Lawful basis (UK GDPR Article 6) |
|---|---|
| Providing the Service: accounts, workspaces, recces, reports, maps, messaging, notifications, AI features | Contract with you; for organisations’ data, their instructions (we are processor) |
| Billing, trials, invoices, collecting payments and preventing repeat free trials | Contract; legal obligation (tax records); legitimate interests (preventing abuse) |
| Security: sign-in, multi-factor authentication, audit logs, fraud and abuse prevention, rate limiting | Legitimate interests in keeping the Service and your data safe; legal obligation |
| Service emails: invitations, verification outcomes, payment and trial notices, daily logs and reports your workspace asks for | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Support and complaints | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Understanding how the Service is used, to fix problems and improve it (using aggregated or de-identified data where we can) | Legitimate interests |
| Replying to website enquiries and waiting-list sign-ups, and occasional product news | Consent (you can withdraw it at any time); legitimate interests for business contacts |
| Meeting legal duties and defending legal claims | Legal obligation; 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.
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
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Account details | While 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 workspace | For 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 messages | 90 days by default; a workspace can choose a different period |
| In-app notifications | 60 days |
| News and intelligence feed items | 30 days |
| Identity documents | Until verification is withdrawn or your account is erased |
| Billing records and invoices | 6 years after the end of the financial year they relate to, as UK tax law requires |
| Security and audit logs | For as long as the workspace exists. Entries about an erased account no longer show the person’s name |
| Backups | Daily backups, each deleted after 7 days |
| Website enquiries and waiting list | Up 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.
