How to complain

If you are unhappy with something we have done — or failed to do — you can complain. Complaining is free and will not cause us to treat you less favourably.

Step 1 — tell us

Write to contact@whiteknight.academy and we will:

  1. Acknowledge within 1 business day.
  2. Investigate — we may ask you for more detail; we will explain what we are doing.
  3. Respond with a decision. For most complaints this takes up to 15 business days; for privacy-rights complaints the statutory deadlines below apply.
  4. Tell you what to do next if you are not satisfied.

You can always escalate to the external bodies below; you do not have to use us first.

Privacy response times (statutory)

  • EU / EEA residents (GDPR Art 12(3)): 1 month, extendable by 2 months for complex requests with notice.
  • California residents (CCPA/CPRA §1798.130): 45 days, extendable by 45 days with notice.
  • Canadian residents (PIPEDA s.8 / Quebec Law 25): 30 days.
  • Parental requests about a child's data (COPPA FTC guidance): "reasonably timely" — we aim for 10 business days.

If more than one timeline applies to your situation, we apply the shortest.

Step 2 — escalate to a regulator or court

You can complain directly to the supervisory authority competent for your jurisdiction, without asking us first.

Poland and EU / EEA

  • Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych (President of the Personal Data Protection Office), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa — https://uodo.gov.pl/

  • EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

Safeguarding concerns — please do not delay

If your concern is about the safety or welfare of a child on WhiteKnight Academy, please contact us the moment you are aware. Do not wait for certainty — we investigate early-stage concerns in the same way as confirmed ones.

  • Write to contact@whiteknight.academy with "safeguarding" in the subject.
  • Describe what happened and when, to whatever level of detail you are comfortable with. You can report anonymously.
  • Full process: see our Safeguarding Policy § 9.

In an emergency (a child is in immediate danger): call local emergency services first — 112 in the EU and Ukraine, 911 in the US and Canada — and then tell us.

Suspected child sexual abuse material:

  • US/Canada: NCMEC CyberTipline — https://report.cybertip.org / Cybertip.ca — https://www.cybertip.ca/
  • Europe: INHOPE hotlines — https://inhope.org/

Intermediary-service complaints (DSA Art 20–22)

If a decision of ours affected you as a user — for example, content you posted was removed, your account was restricted, a report you made was closed — you can appeal to us within 6 months under the Digital Services Act. Your appeal will be reviewed by a person who did not make the original decision. Write to legal@whiteknight.academy and mark "DSA appeal".

Out-of-court dispute settlement

For consumer disputes that we cannot resolve between us, you may use:

  • EU ODR platform (for online contracts): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
  • Certified out-of-court dispute-settlement bodies listed under the DSA at https://ec.europa.eu/ once designated for our type of service.
  • Polish Rzecznik Konsumentów at your municipal office.

Using an out-of-court path does not waive your right to go to court.

Accessibility

If any of the methods above are not accessible to you (e.g., because of a disability), please tell us at contact@whiteknight.academy and we will find an alternative that works.
