Our Commitment
NBLK® is a data company, and some people find it surprising that we don't track visitors. We don't, because we believe people should control their own data and have clear choices about how it's used. We only use the information you choose to give us, for the work and collaboration you asked for. We never sell your personal or business information, and we never share it with anyone for their own use.
How we count visits
We don't. This site has no analytics, no cookies, no advertising trackers and no third-party scripts. Our hosting provider keeps ordinary server logs so the site can run and stay secure, and that is all.
1. Who is responsible for your data
If you are in the United States: NBLK® LLC, a New York limited liability company, 767 Broadway #1624, New York, NY 10003.
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union: NBLK® Global Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company no. 17271085, Unit 1540, 275 New North Road, Islington, London N1 7AA.

2. What we collect
When you book a conversation:
| What | Required | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Yes | To send your confirmation and to identify you if you book again |
| First and last name | No | So we know what to call you |
| Company name | No | So we know which business and which job we are talking about |
That is the whole form. We do not ask for a phone number, your address or your industry.
Automatically, when you visit: your browser type, your address on the internet, and which pages were requested. This is ordinary server log data kept by our hosting provider.
We do not collect: payment card details on this site, government identification numbers, or any special category data.
The demo dashboard runs entirely in your browser on example data. Nothing you click in it is sent to us.
3. Why we use it
- To hold the conversation. Your email sends the confirmation. Your name and company let us prepare before we talk.
- To manage bookings fairly. Our system records how many conversations an email address has booked, so that repeat bookings can be routed appropriately.
- To do the work, if you go ahead.
- To keep the site working and secure.
- To meet our legal and accounting obligations.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not send marketing emails you did not ask for. If you book a conversation and do not go ahead, we do not follow up unless you asked us to.
4. Our legal basis (UK and EU visitors)
- Contract: to arrange and hold your conversation, and to carry out work you have engaged us for.
- Legitimate interests: to keep the site working and secure, and to prevent abuse of the booking system.
- Legal obligation: to keep financial records.
5. Who else sees it
We use a small number of outside services to run this site. Each one sees only what it needs to do its job, and none of them are permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
| What the service does | What it handles |
|---|---|
| Website hosting | Serving the pages, and server logs |
| Database hosting | Your booking record |
| Calendar scheduling | Arranging your conversation |
All of these operate in the United States.
Beyond these, we share your data only where the law requires it, or where you have asked us to. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with advertisers.
International transfer. If you are in the UK or EU, your data is processed in the United States. We rely on standard contractual clauses and the relevant adequacy frameworks for that transfer.
On request. If you want to know exactly which providers we use, ask us and we will tell you.
6. How long we keep it
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Bookings that did not become work | Two years, then deleted |
| Client records and project files | Seven years, for tax and accounting |
| Server logs | Fourteen months |
7. Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Show you what we hold about you
- Correct anything wrong
- Delete it, where we are not legally required to keep it
- Stop using it for a particular purpose
- Send it to you in a portable format
Email us and we will respond within thirty days. We will not ask you why.
UK and EU visitors can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
California residents have the rights above under the CCPA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. We do not sell personal information as that term is defined.
8. Security
Your booking data travels over an encrypted connection and is stored in Microsoft Azure. Our web application can only run specific approved database commands — it cannot read our database tables directly. Access is limited to the people who need it.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the relevant regulator within the time the law requires.
9. Cookies
This site sets no cookies.
10. Children
This site is for businesses. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under sixteen. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The current version is always the one on this page. Material changes will be noted here with the date.
