Grounds for using your personal information

We rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

  • Performance of a contract – We may need to collect and use your personal information to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have with us. For example, when you use our Services we will use your personal information to respond to your requests and provide you with the services you have requested;
  • Consent – We may use personal information as described in this Privacy Policy subject to your consent. To withdraw your consent you can contact us via email at dataprivacyofficer@dart.ky, or you may be able to disable settings, such as, the sharing of location information in your browser or mobile application settings. Where required by applicable laws, we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from your device or computer.
  • Legitimate interests – We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests to improve our products and services and the content on our Services. Consistent with our legitimate interests and any choices that we offer or consents that may be required under applicable laws, we may use technical information as described in this Privacy Policy and use personal information for our marketing purposes.

Third-party services and content

Our Services may include integrated content or links to content provided by third parties (such as video materials). This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy, security, or other practices of the third parties that provide such content.

We engage third parties that support the operation of our Services, such as analytics providers. These third parties may use technologies to track your online activities over time and across different websites and online platforms. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information.

Protection and storage of the information we collect

The Services are controlled and operated by us. We may store the information we collect in the Cayman Islands or in other countries where we or our service providers have facilities. We may process the information we collect in jurisdictions where we or our service providers have facilities.

To ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place standard data protection clauses with all affiliated entities of CAIS Ltd. or service providers who we may share information with to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with this policy. If you require further information about this protective measure, please contact us via email at dataprivacyofficer@dart.ky

In addition we deploy administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and safeguard the information that we collect. This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your data that they will protect the data with safeguards designed to provide a level of protection equivalent to that adopted by us.

However, no information system can be 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.

Your choices and rights

If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can let us know by sending us an email via our Contact Us page. Where required by applicable laws we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from you device or computer. Any electronic marketing communications we send you also contain opt-out mechanisms that allow you to opt-out from receiving those communications at any time. We will honour your choice and refrain from sending you such announcements. You may also opt back in to receive those communications at any time.

Subject to local law, you may have certain rights regarding information that we have collected and that is related to you. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information that we have collected about you is inaccurate or out of date. You can also ask us to see what personal information we hold about you, to erase your personal information and you may tell us if you object to our use of your personal information. In some jurisdictions, you may have a right to complain to your local data protection authority. If you would like to discuss or exercise the rights you may have, send us an email at dataprivacyofficer@dart.ky

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors and in some instances, we may not be able to comply with your request, for example because we have legitimate grounds for not doing so, or where the right doesn’t apply to the particular information we hold on you.
