- Use automated tools, scrapers or bots to extract content from the platform without our express written consent;
- Reproduce, republish, redistribute or resell any content from EOS Omnia for commercial purposes without a licence from us;
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the platform, its servers, or associated systems;

02 · Your Personal Data
Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20252.1 Who Controls Your Data
Offshore Digital Engineering Limited is the data controller for personal data collected through EOS Omnia. We process personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and — where we process data relating to individuals in the European Economic Area — the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).
2.2 What Data We Collect
We collect different categories of data depending on how you use the platform:
- Account data: name, email address, organisation and role, collected when you register for access to gated content or platform features;
- Usage data: aggregate page views, customer organisation route usage, approximate unique visitor counts and engagement duration, collected without analytics cookies or persistent analytics identifiers;
- Communication data: the content of any messages you send us via contact forms or email;
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health information, political opinions or financial details) through this platform.
2.3 How We Use Your Data
We use your personal data to:
- Provide, maintain and improve the EOS Omnia platform and its features;
- Manage your account and authenticate your identity;
- Send you service-related communications, including account notifications and updates to these terms;
- Respond to enquiries and support requests;
- Analyse platform usage to understand how the service is used and where it can be improved;
- Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
We will not sell your personal data to third parties, and we will not use it for purposes beyond those described here without first seeking your consent.
2.4 Legal Basis for Processing
Our legal bases for processing personal data under UK GDPR (and EU GDPR where applicable) are:
- Performance of a contract — to provide the services you have requested (Article 6(1)(b));
- Legitimate interests — to maintain and improve our platform, ensure platform security, and prevent fraud (Article 6(1)(f));
- Legal obligation — where processing is required by law (Article 6(1)(c));
- Consent — where we have requested and received it from you, including for non-essential cookies and marketing communications (Article 6(1)(a)).
2.5 Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in compliance with our legal obligations. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account & registration data | Duration of account + 30 days after closure | Contract / legitimate interest |
| First-party aggregate analytics data | 26 months from collection | Legitimate interest |
| Short-lived analytics deduplication hashes | 35 days from collection | Legitimate interest |
| Communication & support data | 3 years from last contact | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Technical / log data (IP, browser) | 90 days | Security / legitimate interest |
| Functional browser storage | Until cleared by you or no longer needed by the feature | Contract / legitimate interest |
| Financial / billing data (if applicable) | 7 years | Legal obligation (UK tax law) |
Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised. You may request earlier deletion of your data — subject to our legal obligations — by contacting us at info@odige.co.uk.
2.6 Your Rights
Under UK GDPR (and EU GDPR where applicable) you have the right to:
- Access — obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectification — correct any inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erasure — request deletion of your data in certain circumstances;
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data;
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format;
- Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing;
- Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@odige.co.uk. We will respond within one calendar month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. If you are based in the EU/EEA, you may also contact your local supervisory authority.
2.7 International Data Transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom. Where we use third-party service providers that process data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards include UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or transfers to countries with an adequacy decision from the UK Secretary of State or the European Commission. You may request details of the specific safeguards applicable to any such transfer by contacting us.
2.8 Third-Party Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers to help operate the platform — for example, cloud hosting providers, security tools, email delivery platforms, and infrastructure used to process first-party aggregate analytics. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that require them to handle your data securely and only as instructed by us. We do not allow our processors to use your data for their own purposes.
2.9 Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
2.10 Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by Article 33 of UK GDPR. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to affected individuals, we will also notify those individuals directly without undue delay, in accordance with Article 34 of UK GDPR.
2.11 Automated Decision-Making & Profiling
We do not currently use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We may use aggregated, anonymised usage data to analyse platform trends and improve our services; this does not constitute profiling under UK or EU GDPR. If this changes, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your consent.
03 · Cookies & Storage
Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 20253.1 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to site operators. EOS Omnia may also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage.
3.2 Cookie Consent
In accordance with UK GDPR, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and EU GDPR (where applicable), we request your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. At present, EOS Omnia only uses cookies and similar browser storage that are necessary for authentication, security, requested functionality, and cookieless first-party aggregate analytics. We do not use analytics cookies or third-party tracking scripts.
3.3 Cookies We Use
The table below describes the cookies and similar technologies currently used on EOS Omnia:
3.4 Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and configure alerts when cookies are set. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of EOS Omnia, particularly gated features that require authentication.
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit aboutcookies.org.
3.5 Updates to This Policy
As the platform evolves, the cookies and technologies we use may change. We will update this policy accordingly and, where required by law, seek your consent before placing new non-essential cookies.
04 · GDPR & Data Rights
GDPR & Data Rights
Last updated: May 2025This section applies to all users. UK users are protected under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) are protected under the EU GDPR (Regulation 2016/679). Where both frameworks apply, we comply with both.
4.1 Applicable Frameworks
Following the UK's departure from the EU, two parallel data protection regimes are relevant to EOS Omnia:
- UK GDPR — the retained version of EU GDPR in UK law, as supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018. This applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom.
- EU GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) — this applies where we process personal data of individuals located in EU/EEA member states, for example subscribers or users based in continental Europe.
Offshore Digital Engineering Limited is established in the United Kingdom and is therefore primarily subject to UK GDPR. To the extent that we process data of EEA-based individuals, we apply the standards of EU GDPR as well. In practice, our policies and procedures meet the requirements of both frameworks.
4.2 Data Controller Details
Offshore Digital Engineering Limited acts as data controller. Our registered address is Office 1, Technology House, 9 Newton Place, Glasgow, G3 7PR, United Kingdom. For data protection enquiries, contact us at info@odige.co.uk.
We have assessed our processing activities and determined that we are not currently required to appoint a formal Data Protection Officer (DPO) under Article 37 of UK/EU GDPR (as we are not a public authority, do not carry out large-scale systematic monitoring, or process special categories of data at scale). Nonetheless, all data protection matters are handled with the same rigour, and enquiries can be directed to the contact above.
4.3 Principles of Processing
We adhere to the data protection principles set out in Article 5 of UK/EU GDPR. Personal data is:
- Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently — we identify a lawful basis before processing and inform you through this policy;
- Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes — and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes;
- Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary (data minimisation);
- Accurate and kept up to date — we take reasonable steps to correct or delete inaccurate data;
- Kept no longer than necessary — see our data retention schedule in Section 2.5;
- Processed securely — with appropriate technical and organisational measures.
4.4 Your Rights Under UK & EU GDPR
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exemptions, but we will always respond to your request and explain our reasoning if we cannot fulfil it.
- Right to be informed — you have the right to be told how we use your data (fulfilled through this policy);
- Right of access (Subject Access Request) — you may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, free of charge, within one calendar month;
- Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate data or complete incomplete data;
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — in certain circumstances you may ask us to delete your personal data, for example if it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected;
- Right to restrict processing — you may ask us to pause processing of your data in certain situations, for example while we verify a rectification request;
- Right to data portability — where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (e.g. CSV or JSON);
- Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds;
- Rights related to automated decision-making — you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces significant legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently use such processing (see Section 2.11);
- Right to withdraw consent — where we rely on consent as a legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to info@odige.co.uk. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within one calendar month; for complex requests, this may be extended by a further two months with notice.
4.5 Lawful Bases for Processing (Summary)
The table below summarises the lawful bases we rely on under Article 6 of UK/EU GDPR:
- Article 6(1)(a) — Consent: Non-essential cookies; optional marketing communications;
- Article 6(1)(b) — Contract: Account creation, service delivery, authentication;
- Article 6(1)(c) — Legal obligation: Compliance with tax, regulatory and legal requirements;
- Article 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interests: Platform security, fraud prevention, analytics, service improvement. Our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights.
4.6 Cross-Border Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA to countries not deemed adequate by the ICO or European Commission, we use one or more of the following safeguards:
- UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), as approved by the ICO;
- EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as published by the European Commission;
- Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable for intra-group transfers;
- Adequacy decisions in force at the time of transfer.
You may request details of the specific safeguards in place for any given transfer by contacting us.
4.7 Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
- UK users: Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) — ico.org.uk — 0303 123 1113
- EU/EEA users: Your national data protection authority. A full list is available at edpb.europa.eu.
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you escalate to a supervisory authority. Please contact us in the first instance at info@odige.co.uk.
4.8 Changes to This Section
Data protection law continues to evolve, including through ICO guidance, European Data Protection Board (EDPB) decisions, and UK government reform. We will update this section as necessary and notify registered users of material changes by email or prominent platform notice.
