To appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights request, please send us an email at support@pika.art within 30 days after the decision was rendered with a detailed explanation of why you believe the decision was incorrect or unsatisfactory and any additional information or evidence that supports your appeal. On receipt of your appeal, we will acknowledge its receipt within ten business days. The appeal will be reviewed by a senior member of our data protection or compliance team who was not involved in the initial decision. We may contact you for further information or clarification if necessary. We will provide a written response to your appeal within 30 days of receipt. If additional time is required to review your appeal, we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it. If your appeal is upheld, we will take the necessary steps to rectify the issue and inform you of the actions taken.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This appeals mechanism directly responds to requirements under Virginia CDPA (§59.1-578), Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. §6-1-1306), Connecticut Data Privacy Act (§42-528), and Texas Data Privacy and Security Act — all of which mandate an internal appeals process for denied consumer rights requests. CCPA/CPRA does not explicitly require a formal appeals process but CPPA guidance encourages responsive processes. GDPR Art. 12(4) requires companies to inform data subjects of reasons for refusal and their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
