InstaDeep Ltd., is a private company and operates https://deepchain.bio/ (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy informs you of the data processing operation carried out by us in relation to the Site. By accessing or using our Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What information do we process?
We will collect, process and store personal information about you which will include:
- in relation to users of DeepChain services:
- Identity Data which includes first name, last name, company name and email address.
- Contact Data which may include billing address, email address and telephone numbers.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
Most of the information described above comes directly from you but we do obtain some from third parties, e.g. passed to us from your employer where they have designated you as their contact person. Like most site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, computer settings, the pages of our Site that you visit, how often you visit those pages, the time and date of your visits, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you or the company you represent with our services). In this case, we may have to cancel the supply of a product or service, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
Cookies

With whom do we share your information?
Your information will be shared internally amongst our staff but they will only use it to carry out their duties in line with the purposes set out above. We will need to share your personal information with others from time to time, including:
- our professional advisers, such as our accounting and legal advisers where they require that information in order to provide advice to us;
- our group companies for the purposes of using your data to offer products and services to you consistent with the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy;

- our service providers who operate our Site, or provide and support with the provision of our services and our management and data storage systems.
We will also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or to a law enforcement agency.
Where is your information processed?
We may store your data physically or electronically. Any data stored electronically will be encrypted and stored in our secure servers and/or in our service providers servers mainly in the European Economic Area (EEA) and any data stored physically will be stored in our business premises within the UK.
We will ensure that any transfer of personal information from countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries outside the EEA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, for example by using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission, or the use of binding corporate rules or other legally accepted means.
Although we will always do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our Site and any transmission is at your own risk.
For how long will we keep your information?
We only keep your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and to fulfill our legal obligations.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In summary, however, we keep:
- Information about users of DeepChain services for 1 year after last use
- Information about business contacts for for 1 year after last use
We will securely erase your information in advance of these deadlines if we decide that we no longer need it.
