Privacy Policy
BOCKcommunications (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to high standards of privacy, confidentiality, and data integrity. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information in connection with our advisory, communication, and digital services.
If you have any questions, please contact: contact us
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide directly
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Name, email address, phone number
- Company name, role, and industry
- Information submitted through contact forms or email
- Details shared in strategy or advisory sessions
- Billing or invoicing information (if applicable)
1.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, basic technical information may be collected automatically, such as:
- IP address, browser type, and device information
- Pages visited, time spent, and referral source
- Aggregate analytics used to improve performance and experience
We avoid aggressive tracking and profiling. Any analytics in use focus on overall usage patterns rather than individual behaviour.
1.3 Information from third parties
In some cases we may receive business-related information from:
- LinkedIn or similar platforms (public profile data only)
- Partners who are authorised to share information with us
- Publicly available business databases or directories
2. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide advisory services
- Schedule and prepare strategy or communication sessions
- Improve our website, services, and client experience
- Manage billing, accounting, and internal administration
- Comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations
In selected cases we may also use contact details to share important updates about our services or frameworks. You can opt out of non-essential communication at any time.
3. Legal Bases (where applicable)
Where data protection laws require a legal basis (for example in the European Union / European Economic Area), we rely on:
- Performance of a contract – to deliver advisory or communication services
- Legitimate interests – to operate, protect, and develop our business
- Consent – where you choose to receive certain updates or share information
- Legal obligations – where retention or disclosure is required by law
4. Cookies & Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support core functionality and basic analytics (for example, understanding which pages are visited most frequently).
If additional analytics or marketing tools are introduced in the future, we will update this notice and, where required, ask for your consent.
5. How We Share Information
We share personal information only in limited situations, for example:
- With trusted service providers who support our operations (e.g. hosting, email, analytics)
- With professional advisors such as legal or accounting firms
- With partners or collaborators, where this is clearly part of the mandate
- Where required by law, regulation, or court order
We never sell personal data to data brokers or advertising networks.
6. International Data Transfers
We operate primarily from the United Arab Emirates while serving clients in multiple jurisdictions. This may involve transferring information across borders.
Where required by applicable law, we implement appropriate safeguards (for example contractual protections) to support a comparable level of data protection.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law, regulation, or professional standards. After that, information is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, which can include:
- Access to the information we hold about you
- Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion or restriction of certain data
- Objection to specific uses based on legitimate interests
- Data portability, where technically feasible
- Withdrawal of consent for optional uses
To exercise any of these rights, please contact contact us.
9. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No system can offer absolute security, yet we work continuously to maintain a robust, modern protection level.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the most recent version.
In case of material changes, we will highlight the update on our website or contact you directly where appropriate.
