3. Publicly Visible Reviews
Revi is a public platform designed to promote transparency between consumers and businesses. When you write a review on Revi, that review —along with the information associated with your user profile— will be visible to anyone who accesses our platform.
This includes:
- The content of your review and the rating you gave.
- The date of publication.
- Your first name and the initial of your last name (or the pseudonym you choose). If your review is not anonymous.
- The product or service reviewed and, where applicable, the name of the store.
- Your language.
- Any image, video, or other content you choose to attach to your review.
When another user accesses your profile, they may view all the reviews you have posted, as well as additional information related to your public interactions on Revi.
Similarly, if a business replies to your review, that response will also be publicly visible. Both your review and the company’s reply form part of the public history of interactions between consumers and businesses on Revi.
We consider all this information as public personal data, accessible on our platform and through external search engines (e.g., Google). You are not required to provide any personal data beyond what is strictly necessary to leave a verified review. You decide whether to use your real name or a pseudonym, as well as whether to attach images or additional identifying information.
4. Private Personal Data
When a store or business requests Revi to send you an invitation to review your shopping experience, they provide us with certain personal data necessary for that purpose. This usually includes your name, email address, and a reference identifier such as the order number or equivalent data that allows the transaction to be verified.
Additionally, Revi may receive information from third parties to detect possible fraud or conduct internal investigations aimed at ensuring the integrity of the review system.
We also automatically collect certain technical information from your device when you access our services. This may include your IP address, approximate location, device type, browser used, operating system, and data about your interaction with the platform (such as pages visited, clicks made, time spent) or with our emails (such as opening or interacting with review invitations).
All this information is used exclusively to provide the service securely, improve user experience, and ensure that published reviews are authentic and verifiable.
Who is the data controller?
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679), the data controller is the one who determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, while a data processor acts on their behalf.
When you receive an invitation to leave a review about a store or business using Revi’s services (whether sent directly by us on their behalf or by the company itself), that company acts as the data controller regarding the data used for the invitation (e.g., your name, email address, or order number). In this case, Revi acts as the data processor, providing the service on behalf of the business.
Therefore, if you wish to exercise your rights over the personal data used to send review invitations —such as access, rectification, or deletion— you must contact the company that invited you, as they determine how that data is used.
On the other hand, regarding other personal data linked to your use of the Revi platform —such as account creation, review publication, responses to reviews, or use of interactive features— WEE ECOMMERCE, S.L. (Revi’s owner) acts as the data controller.
Additionally, depending on the services contracted by our clients (the businesses), they may also act as data controllers for certain data visible in the reviews, such as your name, review content, or experience date, when published on their business profile.
What do we use your personal data for?
At Revi, we process your personal data for various purposes, all based on the legitimate use of the platform, your consent, or compliance with legal obligations. These are the main purposes for which we may use your information:
- Providing our services: Displaying your reviews publicly on store profiles and granting you access to your user account or features available on Revi’s platform.
- Improving the platform: Analyzing system usage, performing internal testing, detecting errors, and developing new features to enhance your experience.
- Responding to your inquiries: Replying to messages or requests sent via contact forms, support, or email.
- Sending communications: If you’ve subscribed, we may send you newsletters, updates, or other relevant communications, always with your consent.
- Personalizing your experience: Adapting content, recommendations, or how reviews are displayed based on your behavior on the platform.
- Internal management and analytics: Performing tasks such as statistical analysis, audits, fraud detection, quality control, content moderation, or identifying usage trends.
- Training and process improvement: Using your interactions (e.g., questions or reviews) in an anonymized or pseudonymized way to train our staff and improve service quality.
- Legal compliance and rights defense: Retaining or disclosing information when necessary to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or requests from competent authorities, as well as to defend Revi’s legitimate rights and interests.
In all cases, we apply technical and organizational measures to ensure that your data is processed appropriately, securely, and in accordance with current regulations.
Legal basis for processing your data
At Revi, we process your personal data based on the legal grounds established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the type of interaction you have with us. In particular, we process your data based on:
- Performance of a contract: We need to process your data to provide our services, allow you to leave verified reviews, give you access to your user account, or fulfill other obligations arising from our relationship with you or the business you represent.
- Compliance with legal obligations: We process personal data when necessary to comply with applicable laws, including legal, tax, data protection, or judicial requirements.
- Legitimate interest: We process certain data to manage our platform, improve our services, ensure system security, prevent fraud, or perform statistical analysis. We always ensure that these processes are relevant, proportionate, and do not unfairly affect your rights and freedoms.
- Task carried out in the public interest: When we contribute to the overall goal of offering a transparent and verified review environment, data processing may be considered of public interest, as it fosters digital trust in e-commerce.
- Defense of legal rights: We retain or use your data when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Explicit consent: In cases where we request your consent (e.g., to send newsletters or install non-essential cookies), we will process your data only if you have given us free and informed permission. You can withdraw your consent at any time from the relevant settings panel or by contacting us (see “Contact” section).
Please note that even if you withdraw your consent, Revi may still process your data if there is another legal basis to justify it.
You also have the right to object to the processing of your data or to request its restriction in certain cases.
Retention period of your personal data
At Revi, we retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or while a legal basis justifies its processing. The exact duration depends on the type of interaction you’ve had with us, the service provided, and our legal or contractual obligations.
This means we may retain your data while:
- You have a user account on Revi.
- There is an active contractual relationship between you or your represented company and Revi.
- It is necessary to provide you with our services, display your reviews, or ensure the traceability of verified opinions.
- A legal retention obligation exists (e.g., tax, commercial, or data protection regulations).
- We have a legitimate interest that justifies retention (such as fraud prevention, platform security, or defense against potential claims).
Once these purposes are no longer fulfilled and there is no legal or legitimate basis for storage, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you as an identifiable person.
You may exercise your right to request the deletion of your personal data at any time.
At Revi, the security of your personal information is a top priority. That’s why we implement appropriate technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or improper disclosure.
These measures include, for example:
- Use of secure transmission protocols (HTTPS).
- Restricted access controls for authorized personnel.
- Intrusion detection and prevention systems.
- Regular backups.
- Periodic review and audit of our platforms and systems to detect vulnerabilities.
However, you should be aware that no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure. Although we constantly work to enhance the protection of our systems, we cannot guarantee 100% security of the information you send us electronically.
For this reason, we recommend not including sensitive or confidential data in emails you send us, as those messages may not be encrypted. If you need to share especially sensitive information, please contact us and we will guide you on the most secure way to do so.

You can request the correction or updating of your personal data if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. This includes, for example, modifying your username, country, or correcting errors in your reviews.

When we have requested your consent to process your data (e.g., to send marketing communications or use non-essential cookies), you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Limitations of these rights
