GDPR Compliance
How Rewatched complies with EU data protection regulations
Our Commitment to GDPR
Rewatched is committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and helping our customers meet their own GDPR obligations. This page explains how we process personal data, your rights under GDPR, and the tools we provide to help you comply with the regulation.
Our Role as Data Processor
In most cases, Rewatched acts as a data processor on behalf of our customers (the data controllers). This means:
- You (the customer) control what data is collected from your users
- We process that data according to your instructions
- You are responsible for obtaining proper consent from your users
- We provide tools to help you meet your GDPR obligations
For your own account data (name, email, billing information), we act as the data controller.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We process personal data under the following lawful bases:
- Contract Performance: To provide our services to you under our Terms of Service
- Legitimate Interests: To improve our services, prevent fraud, and maintain security
- Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws and regulations
- Consent: Where explicitly provided for specific purposes (e.g., marketing communications)
Data Subject Rights
Under GDPR, individuals have the following rights regarding their personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of your personal data. We will provide this information within 30 days of your request.
Right to Rectification
You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. You can update most information directly in your account settings.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You can request deletion of your personal data. We will delete your data within 90 days unless we have a legal obligation to retain it.
Right to Data Portability
You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format. We provide data export functionality in your account settings.
Right to Object
You can object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests. Contact us at info@rewatched.io to exercise this right.
Right to Restrict Processing
You can request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have challenged.
Tools to Help You Comply
Rewatched provides tools to help you meet your GDPR obligations:
PII Exclusion Rules
Configure rules to automatically exclude personally identifiable information (PII) from being collected, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers.
User Identification & Deletion
Identify specific users and delete all their data to fulfill erasure requests from your end users.
Data Export
Export user data in standard formats to fulfill data portability requests.

- Details of processing activities
- Data security measures
- Subprocessor list and notification procedures
- Data subject rights fulfillment procedures
- Data breach notification requirements

Subprocessors
We use carefully selected subprocessors to help provide our services. Current subprocessors include:
- Cloud infrastructure providers (data hosting)
- Payment processors (billing and subscriptions)

We maintain a complete subprocessor list and will notify you of any changes. All subprocessors are bound by data protection agreements.

Privacy by Design & Default
We implement privacy by design and by default principles:
- Data minimization – collect only necessary data
- Purpose limitation – use data only for specified purposes
- Storage limitation – retain data only as long as necessary
- Pseudonymization and encryption where appropriate
- Regular privacy impact assessments
