Question about retail box vs. digital downloading

Does the regular retail box of the GC2 Gold edition allow me to download the game in the future if I lose my disc? Or can I only do that if I buy the digital download + CD version from here? I'm trying to figure out the differences between all the different ways I can buy the game, before I pick it up. Thanks!
