Home / Guides / Data Privacy Explained: GDPR, NDPR, and What They Mean for You

Introduction

Starkworth's registration forms collect personal information from people across multiple countries, including Nigeria, the UK, EU-adjacent regions, and the US — which means more than one data protection framework applies depending on where you live. GDPR (the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation) and NDPR (Nigeria's Data Protection Regulation) both give you rights over data collected about you.

Who This Applies To

Every Account Owner and Annotator, with specific rights varying based on your country of residence.

Why It Matters

Knowing your actual rights — to know, access, correct, or delete your data — means you can act on them directly rather than assuming you have no say over information collected about you.

What's Involved

  • What's collected: name, contact details, payment method preference, and post-approval payment details
  • Why it's collected: to manage agreements, process registrations, and issue payouts
  • How long it's kept: as long as your agreement or Annotator status is active, plus a reasonable legal/accounting period

Step-by-Step Process

If you want to exercise any of your rights — requesting a copy of your data, correcting it, or asking for deletion — the Privacy Policy explains exactly how to do that. Reading it fully before registering is the best way to understand your specific rights based on where you live.

What You Need to Get Started

  • Your country of residence, to know which framework applies to you
  • A read of the full Privacy Policy for the specific process to exercise your rights

Typical Timeline

Data rights requests (access, correction, deletion) are handled on request — reach out through the process described in the Privacy Policy, and expect a response consistent with the applicable regulation's timeframes for your country.

What Determines Your Terms

Starkworth doesn't use fixed public pricing tiers — every Account Owner and Annotator works under an individually signed agreement. The figures below explain what shapes those terms, not a price list.

There's no cost associated with exercising your data rights — access, correction, and deletion requests are a right, not a paid service.

Example Scenario

Illustrative example — not a real customer case study

An Annotator based in the UK wants to know exactly what data Starkworth holds about them. Under GDPR, they have the right to request this. They email through the process described in the Privacy Policy and receive a response detailing what's held and why.

Frequently Asked Questions

GDPR specifically applies to EU/UK residents; if you're in Nigeria, NDPR applies instead, and other countries may have their own frameworks — check the Privacy Policy for specifics.
