At BdG Advisory, privacy is treated with the same seriousness as trust. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you when you visit https://bdgadvisory.com or engage with our advisory services.
BdG Advisory is committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Who We Are
BdG Advisory provides strategic advisory services, executive insights, research, and thought leadership focused on technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and business strategy. Throughout this policy, “BdG Advisory”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refers to the operator of this website.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
You may choose to provide personal information when you contact us, request information or advisory services, subscribe to updates, download publications or resources, register for webinars or events, or communicate with us by email or through our website. This may include: name, company, job title, email address, telephone number, country or region, and any information included in your message. Providing this information is entirely voluntary.
Information Collected Automatically
When you browse our website, certain technical information is collected automatically: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring website, date and time of access, and general geographic location based on IP address. This information is generally aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors unless necessary for security purposes.
We operate our own first-party, server-side analytics to understand aggregate website usage (such as page views and referring sources). This measurement uses no cookies and no tracking scripts. Visitor identifiers are derived by hashing technical signals (IP address and browser type) with a daily-rotating salt and are truncated before storage, so we retain only aggregate counts — not your IP address or any personally identifying information.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and understand how visitors use our content. Cookies may be used to remember user preferences, measure website performance, improve navigation, understand visitor behaviour, and maintain website security. You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some functionality may not operate correctly if cookies are disabled. Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
How We Use Your Information
We use information to respond to enquiries, deliver advisory services, improve our website and publications, maintain website security, monitor website performance, develop new content and research, communicate updates you have requested, meet legal and regulatory obligations, and protect our legitimate business interests. We do not sell personal information.
Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable under laws such as the GDPR, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate business interests.
Sharing Information
We only share personal information where necessary — with trusted providers supporting website hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, security monitoring, and professional legal, accounting, and compliance services. These providers may process information only on our instructions and only for the purposes described in this policy. We may also disclose information when required by law. We never sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
International Transfers
Because BdG Advisory operates internationally, personal information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where applicable, we implement appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards to protect personal information during international transfers.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, deliver services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legal rights. Information is securely deleted or anonymised when no longer required.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, and destruction. No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict processing, object to processing, withdraw consent, request a copy of your information, and lodge a complaint with your local privacy regulator. Requests may be submitted using the contact details below.
