1. Introduction
Intellion DC ("Intellion DC", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal data submitted through our institutional enquiry portal and website at intelliondc.com (the "Site").
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the legal bases on which we rely, and your rights under applicable data protection legislation — including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR 2016/679), and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This Site is intended exclusively for qualified institutional counterparties. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

We collect the following categories of personal data when you submit an enquiry through our Secure Enquiry Portal:

We also collect standard technical data automatically when you visit the Site, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is collected via server logs and is used solely for security monitoring and operational purposes.
We do not use third-party analytics tracking scripts (such as Google Analytics) on this Site. We do not use cookies for advertising or behavioural profiling.
4. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data you provide for the following purposes:

We will not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Confidentiality & NDA
All site allocation discussions are conducted under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Information you share in connection with an enquiry — including target capacity, operational requirements, and commercial terms — is treated as strictly confidential and is not disclosed to third parties except as described in Section 6 below.
6. Sharing Your Personal Data
We may share your personal data with:
- Service providers: trusted third-party processors who assist us in operating the Site and managing communications (e.g. cloud hosting, CRM, and email delivery providers), bound by data processing agreements and prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory obligation.
- Professional advisers: lawyers, auditors, and insurers, subject to confidentiality obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.
7. International Transfers
Intellion DC operates across European and Nordic markets. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or reliance on an adequacy decision.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data submitted through the enquiry portal for as long as necessary to manage the enquiry relationship and comply with our legal obligations. In practice:
- Enquiry records are retained for a maximum of 5 years from the date of last contact, unless a longer period is required by law or ongoing contractual relationship.
- Marketing communication preferences are retained until you withdraw consent.
- Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days.

- Right of access: to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: to have inaccurate data corrected.
- Right to erasure: to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.

10. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data submitted through the enquiry portal is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS). Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis.
11. Cookies
This Site uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function (e.g. session management). We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. No cookie consent banner is required for strictly necessary cookies under UK/EU law.
