2. How to file a request
2.1 Self-service (fastest)
Most rights can be exercised directly:
- Access / portability — Settings → Privacy → Export my data produces a ZIP within minutes.
- Rectification — most fields editable in Settings → Profile.
- Erasure — Settings → Account → Delete account.
- Withdraw consent — toggles in Settings → Privacy:
- AI training on my data
- Marketing email
- Birth-data processing (this also pauses chart features)
- Analytics cookies
- Opt-out of CCPA sale/sharing — we don't sell or share for cross-context behavioural advertising, so the opt-out is the default. If we ever change this, the option will appear here and in the footer.
2.2 Email
Email hello@astraplatform.ai with the subject:
Data rights request: [Access | Rectification | Erasure | Portability | Restriction | Objection | Withdraw consent | Opt-out | Limit sensitive PI | Complaint]
Include:
- The email address of the account in question.
- The right you want to exercise.
- For erasure / restriction, the reason (we do not require a reason for valid GDPR / CCPA rights but it helps speed things up).
2.3 Postal
If you prefer postal mail:

3. Identity verification
To protect you from impersonation, we may ask for one or more of:
- Sign-in confirmation from the account's email
- A code sent to the account's verified phone
- A response to security questions
- For high-risk requests, government-ID verification via Stripe Identity
We never share the data of one person with another person, and we will refuse a request we cannot verify.
4. Response timelines

|---|---|---|
| GDPR / UK GDPR | Acknowledgement within 30 days | Decision within 30 days; extendable to 90 with notice |

| LGPD (Brazil) | Confirmation immediate | Up to 15 days |
| PIPEDA (Canada) | Within 30 days | Within 30 days |
| Japan APPI / Korea PIPA | Per local minimums | Per local minimums |
5. Fees
We do not charge a fee for the first reasonable request in a 12-month period. Manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests may incur a reasonable administrative fee or be refused (per GDPR Art. 12(5)).
6. If we decline a request
We may refuse on documented grounds, including:
- Identity could not be verified.
- The request would expose another person's data.
- Legal retention obligations override (e.g. financial records kept for 7 years).
- The right is not available under your jurisdiction.
We tell you the specific ground and your right to appeal or complain to your supervisory authority.
