Cookies
Our site uses cookies and other similar technologies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with an optimised experience when you browse our website and it also allows us to improve our website. By continuing to browse the website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. We only use (and store) non-essential cookies on your computer’s browser or hard drive if you provide your consent.
Where is my data stored?
We use third parties across the globe, including in the UK, EU and the US. Whenever we transfer your personal information outside of your home territory, we ensure it is protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We use the Standard Contractual Clauses to protect personal data transferred outside of the UK and/or the EU.
To keep this privacy policy as short and easy to understand as possible, we have not set out the specific circumstances when each of these protection measures we rely on are used. You can contact us at help@digital-shadow.com for the details as to how we protect specific transfer of your data.
How long do we retain your data for?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or legal requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for the other personal information we hold, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the reasons why we handle your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances (to understand digital trends and how people interact with our website) we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
What controls do I have over my data?
We are happy to grant everyone the controls below, irrespective of where they are in the world:
Request access to your data. Ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you and we will provide it, following applicable data protection laws.
Request correction of the data that we hold about you. Let us know and we will correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you.
Request erasure of your data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
Object to processing of your data, such as the sharing of your data with third parties. If you are based in a territory that has specific laws covering rights to object or opt-out, such as California, the UK and the EU, then we will follow the processes set out in those applicable laws when handling your objection.
Request the restriction of processing of your data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your data to another party.
Privacy law is often complicated, and whether these rights are available to you sometimes depends on the types of data we are handling, as well as why we are handling it. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this notice. You always have the right to lodge a complaint with us or the regulator for data protection in your country.
What about websites we link to?
Our website may connect you to different external websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites or use our services, please note that you have left our website and these third party websites have their own privacy policies.
We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies or websites. Please check their policies before you submit any personal information to these websites.
