Privacy Policy

The Digital Option ("we", "us") takes the privacy of anyone who visits this website or gets in touch with us seriously. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and what rights you have over it.

Who we are

This website is operated by Digital Option Ltd, trading as The Digital Option, registered in England and Wales, company no. 17367279, of 66 Paul St, London EC2A 4NA. We also operate from an office in Ibiza, Spain. For the purposes of UK data protection law, Digital Option Ltd is the data controller for information collected through this site.

What we collect

• Information you give us directly — for example, your name, email address, and message when you contact us by email or through this site.
• Standard technical information collected automatically when you browse the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device, and which pages you visit, via cookies and analytics (see below).

We don't currently collect payment information, account logins, or any special category data (health, biometric, etc.) through this site.

How we use it

• To respond to enquiries sent to us, including investor and general business enquiries.
• To understand how the site is used, so we can improve it (via analytics).
• To meet legal or regulatory obligations, where applicable.

We process this data on the basis of your consent (for optional cookies), our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running a functioning website, and, occasionally, a legal obligation.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with it and for a short period afterwards in case of follow-up, then delete it. Analytics data is retained in line with the retention settings of the analytics tool we use, typically no longer than 14–26 months.

How we share it

We may share your data with:

• Other companies within the Antares Group, where an enquiry is relevant to a specific part of the group;
• Service providers who help us run this site (for example, hosting and email providers), bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations;
• Professional advisers, where necessary;
• Regulators or law enforcement, where we're legally required to.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

International transfers

Some of the tools we use to run this site (such as hosting or analytics providers) may store data outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the UK's International Data Transfer Addendum or an adequacy decision, to keep your data protected.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you and request a copy;
• Ask us to correct inaccurate data;
• Ask us to delete your data, in certain circumstances;
• Object to or restrict how we use your data;
• Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page. If you're not satisfied with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies: essential cookies needed for the site to function, and analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used. We do not currently use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
