We share aggregated data with our clients, which may include platform account unique identifiers – however, these will only be identifiable if that specific platform provider links that unique identifier back to you, and only for that specific platform of which you are already a customer.

Will your personal data be transferred to other countries?

Digital i is based in the UK.  In using our platform, or in seeking services from us, your personal data will be processed in the UK, and pseudonymous identifiers representing you will be shared with your local Panel provider in your own country.  

Like every company, digital i also uses service providers (data processors) to host and manage data on our behalf. Digital i remains responsible for your data where this is the case. 

Digital i currently uses service providers in:

  • The United States of America (US); US service providers are registered with the Data Privacy Framework (UK Annex) which provides a level of individual data protection rights that is not materially lower than the UK.

Our service provider locations may change from time to time and will be updated here.

How long do we keep your data?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).


When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
