Direct Market Capital Dynamics (“we”, “us”, “our”, “DMCD”) is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. We are an Ireland-based private equity firm that values trust, integrity, and transparency in all our interactions.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal data when you visit our website (the “Site”) at [insert domain, e.g., www.directmarketcapitaldynamics.com]. It applies to all visitors, potential investors, business contacts, and other individuals who interact with the Site.

We act as the data controller for the personal data we process through the Site, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable data protection laws.

Information We Collect

We collect only the personal data necessary for the Site’s limited functionality. We do not engage in extensive tracking or marketing activities.

Data you provide directly:

  – When you submit the contact form or send us a message/email: name, email address, phone number (if provided), company/organization (if provided), and any details in your message (e.g., investment proposal information).

  Automatically collected data:

  – Technical information from your device and browser, such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, time and date of access, and time spent on pages (via server logs).

  – If we use cookies or similar technologies (e.g., for basic analytics or essential functionality), we will inform you via a clear banner and obtain consent where required. Currently, we aim for a minimal, spartan approach with no non-essential cookies.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (special categories under GDPR, such as health, racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, etc.) through the Site, nor do we knowingly collect data from children under 16.

How We Use Your Personal Data (Purposes and Lawful Basis)

We process personal data only for legitimate, limited purposes and on a lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR:

– To respond to your inquiries or submissions (e.g., investment opportunities, partnership discussions): 

  Lawful basis: Legitimate interests (responding to business-related contacts is core to our operations) or contract (if discussions lead to potential engagement).

– To communicate with you about matters you initiate (e.g., follow-up emails): 

  Lawful basis: Legitimate interests or consent (if we send non-essential follow-ups).

– To operate, secure, and improve the Site (e.g., analyzing server logs for performance, detecting security issues): 

  Lawful basis: Legitimate interests (essential for site functionality and protection).

– To comply with legal obligations (e.g., anti-money laundering checks if relevant, responding to regulatory requests): 

  Lawful basis: Legal obligation.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or direct marketing unless you explicitly consent.

Sharing Your Personal Data

We share personal data only when necessary:

– With service providers (e.g., web hosting, email service, basic analytics tools like Google Analytics—if used) acting as processors under strict GDPR-compliant agreements.

– With professional advisors (e.g., lawyers, accountants) for compliance or business purposes.

– If required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

– In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice where feasible).

We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

International Transfers

As an Ireland-based firm, most processing occurs within the European Economic Area (EEA). If any data is transferred outside the EEA (e.g., to a US-based service provider), we ensure appropriate safeguards:

– Adequacy decision by the European Commission, or

– Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or

– Other approved mechanisms under GDPR Chapter V.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined:

– Contact form submissions and correspondence: Up to 3 years after last contact (unless longer retention is required for legal reasons, e.g., potential disputes).

– Server logs/technical data: Typically 6–12 months for security and analytics.

– Longer retention may apply if required by law or for legitimate business needs (e.g., regulatory compliance).

After this period, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject in the EEA/UK (or where GDPR applies), you have the following rights (subject to verification and exceptions):

– Access: Request confirmation of whether we process your data and obtain a copy.

– Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

– Erasure (“right to be forgotten”): Request deletion in certain circumstances.

– Restriction: Limit processing in specific cases.

– Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests (including profiling).

– Data portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format (where technically feasible).

– Withdraw consent: If processing is based on consent.

– Lodge a complaint: With the Irish Data Protection Commission (www.dataprotection.ie) or your local supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We respond within one month (extendable if complex).

Security of Your Personal Data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration, including:

– Secure hosting and encryption where appropriate.

– Access controls and regular security reviews.

– Staff training on data protection.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, but we strive to use commercially acceptable means.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use only strictly necessary cookies. For any non-essential cookies, we obtain your consent via a clear banner. You can manage preferences or learn more in our Cookie Notice.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Significant changes will be highlighted.
