Providing Services to You or Our Clients

This privacy statement contains information about when we share your personal information with other members of the iBlockpad network and other third parties (e.g., our service providers).

What Personal Information We Collect
In the course of providing services to you or our client, and performing due diligence checks concerning our services (or discussing potential services we may provide), we will collect or obtain personal data about you. We may also collect personal data from you when you use this website.
We may collect or obtain such data because you provide it to us (for example, in a form on our website), or because others give that data to us (for example, your employer or advisor, or third-party service providers we use to help us operate our business), or because it is publicly available.
We may also collect or obtain personal data from you because we observe or infer that data from how you interact with us or others. For example, to improve your experience when using this website and ensure it functions effectively, we (or our service providers) may use cookies (small text files stored in a user's browser) and web beacons that may collect personal data. Additional information about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies and how you can control them can be found in our Cookie Notice.
The personal data we collect or obtain may include: your name, age, date of birth, gender, email address, home address, country of residence, lifestyle and social circumstances (e.g., your hobbies); family circumstances (e.g., marital status and dependents); employment and education details (e.g., the organization you work for, your job title, and education details); financial and tax-related information (e.g., your income and tax residency); posts on any blogs, forums, wikis, or other social media applications and services we provide; your IP address; your browser type and language; access times; complaint details; details about how you use our products and services; details about how you interact with us and other similar information.
The personal data we collect may also include so-called 'sensitive' or 'special' categories of personal data, such as details about: [your dietary requirements (for example, where iBlockpad wishes to provide you with lunch during a meeting), health (for example, so that we can provide reasonable accommodations for you in our buildings and products and services), and sexual orientation (for example, if you provide us with details of your partner)].
The types of personal data and special categories of personal data we collect may vary depending on the nature of the services we provide to you or our client, or how you use our website. In some rare circumstances, we may also collect other special categories of personal data about you because you have voluntarily provided that data to us, or we are required to collect that data due to legal obligations imposed on us.
When our client provides us with personal data about you, we take steps to ensure that the client complies with relevant privacy laws and regulations concerning that information; this may include, for example, that the client provides you with notice regarding collection (and other matters) and has obtained any necessary consents for us to process this information as described in this privacy statement.
