Privacy notice
This notice explains, in plain English, what happens to the details you give us when you join the Ombra waitlist on ombratrading.com, and the rights you have under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
Who we are
The controller of your data is Craig Shuttleworth, trading as Ombra Trading, in the United Kingdom. Ombra is software in development. If you have any question about your data, or want to use any of your rights, email craig@ombratrading.com.
What we collect
- Your email address. This is the only detail you must give.
- Your optional answers: how many prop accounts you run, which platforms you use, and what breaks most for you today. Please don’t put account numbers, passwords or other people’s details in the free-text box.
- Your email choices: which boxes you ticked, the version of the wording you saw, and when.
- Where you came from and roughly where you are: the campaign tag in the link you followed, if any (for example, a forum name), and the country your connection appears to come from, which our host works out from your IP address.
- Your IP address, briefly. We use it only to stop the form being flooded. It is held for up to one hour and is not stored with your signup.
We don’t ask for your name, payment details or any trading data, and we don’t receive any market data.
Why we use it, and our lawful basis
We rely on your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a), and regulation 22 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations for emails). You give it by ticking the boxes on the form.
| Box you tick | What we do |
|---|---|
| Product updates (needed to join) | Email you about Ombra’s development and launch: the free Drift Recorder, invitations to test, and Founders places. No adverts. |
| Partner deals (optional) | Email you offers from evaluation firms. These are adverts, and we may earn a commission if you buy. We send them ourselves. We never give your email address to any firm. |
We use your optional answers to understand who needs Ombra and what to build first, and to decide who is offered a Founders place. We don’t make any automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
You can withdraw consent at any time, for either box, by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by emailing us. Withdrawing doesn’t affect what we did before you withdrew.
Our promise on prop firms
Prop firms never get your data from us. That includes any prop firm that we, or a company in our group, might set up in future. Staff who work for such a firm have no access to it.
The only exceptions are things you ask for yourself: your own orders reaching your own firm account, a deal link you choose to click, things you publish, and your own export. We would also have to comply with a valid legal order.
We don’t share email, contact, analytics or advertising tools with any prop firm. If we publish statistics, they go to everyone at once, or not at all. If Ombra is ever sold to a prop-firm owner, you’ll get 60 days’ notice to export and delete your data first, and the buyer must keep this promise.
Who handles it for us
We don’t sell or rent your data. These service providers process it on our behalf, under contract, and only on our instructions:
- Cloudflare, Inc. hosts this website and stores the waitlist. Cloudflare may process data in the United States and elsewhere. Those transfers are covered by the UK–US data bridge (Cloudflare is certified under the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) and by Cloudflare’s data processing addendum, which includes the UK’s standard transfer clauses.
- Zoho hosts our email (craig@ombratrading.com). If you email us, or we reply to you, your message and address are stored by Zoho. Zoho may process data outside the UK; those transfers are covered by Zoho’s data processing addendum, which includes the UK’s transfer safeguards.
Zoho is used for one-to-one email only. We haven’t chosen a service for sending emails to the whole waitlist yet. We’ll name it here, and update the version of this notice, before we send any email other than a direct reply from Craig.
How long we keep it
- Until you unsubscribe from everything or ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. When you unsubscribe from all emails, we delete your answers within 30 days and keep only your email address and a record of your choice, so we don’t email you again by mistake. Our lawful basis for keeping that short record is our legitimate interest in respecting your choice.
- If Ombra hasn’t launched within 24 months of you joining, we delete your details.
- If you share a Drift Recorder log with us for analysis, we delete it within 90 days.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising pixels or third-party trackers. Our fonts are served from our own site, not from a font service. Cloudflare may process technical data, such as your IP address, to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- get a copy of the data we hold about you;
- have it corrected if it’s wrong;
- have it deleted;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- receive it in a common format to take elsewhere;
- withdraw your consent at any time.
Email craig@ombratrading.com from the address you signed up with. We’ll reply within one month. There is no charge.
Complaints
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or call 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this notice
If we change how we use your data, we’ll update this page and its version number. If the change matters, such as a new purpose, we’ll ask for your consent again first.
