Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you:

• Submit an inquiry or contact form on our website
• Register for an event, roundtable, or webinar
• Fill out a consultation or lead form linked from an article, campaign, or co-branded landing page with one of our partners
• Subscribe to our newsletter or Leadership Lens updates
• Apply for a role or at a Blackstone eIT Academy program

This may include your name, email address, phone number, job title, company name, and any additional details you choose to share, such as your interests or the topics you would like to discuss.

We also automatically collect certain technical data when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs, through cookies and similar technologies.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide the information or consultation you requested
• Process event and program registrations and manage attendance
• Send relevant updates, newsletters, and communications about our services, events, and partnerships
• Improve our website, content, and services
• Comply with legal obligations

Where a form is part of a co-branded initiative with a technology partner, we will let you know at the point of submission, and only the relevant partner involved in that specific initiative will receive your details.

Our website uses cookies to keep the site running smoothly, understand how visitors use it, and measure the performance of our content and campaigns. These include strictly necessary cookies, analytics cookies, and, where used, marketing cookies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect some website functionality.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Technology partners named in a specific co-branded form, article, or event you engaged with (we will always tell you this upfront)
• Trusted service providers who help us operate our website, tools, and events, under confidentiality obligations
• Legal or regulatory authorities where required by law

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Event and form submission data is typically retained for up to 3 years to allow us to follow up and maintain accurate records.

You can request that we delete your data at any time using the contact details below.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict certain processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details below. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Blackstone eIT operates across the MENA region and globally. As a result, your information may be processed in a country other than your own. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your data continues to be protected in line with this policy and applicable data protection laws.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures, including access controls and secure storage, to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can not guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
