Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy — Last updated:  August 29, 2025

Blackthorne Intelligence Group (“Blackthorne,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and is the controller of the personal information collected through it. This policy explains, in plain language, how we collect, use, share, and protect information about visitors to our site and people who contact us. By using the site or submitting information, you agree to the practices described here.

We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, company, job title, and the content of messages you send through contact forms, email, or phone. We also automatically collect technical data when you visit, including IP address, device and browser type, referring pages, pages viewed, time on page, and general location derived from your IP address. We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to keep the site secure, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

We obtain information directly from you, automatically from your device, and from limited third-party sources such as analytics providers and web hosting partners that help us run the site. If you interact with us on social media or through a third-party referral, we may receive related profile or contact details consistent with your settings on those platforms.

We use personal information to operate and improve the website, respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, provide requested materials, secure our systems, detect and prevent fraud or abuse, maintain internal records, and comply with applicable laws. With your consent, or where permitted by law, we may send informational updates about our services; you can opt out of marketing at any time by following the unsubscribe link or contacting us. We do not use covert collection on this site.

Where required (for example in the EU/EEA or UK), we process personal data on the legal bases of consent, contract, legitimate interests (such as site security, responsiveness, and service quality), and legal obligation. We do not sell personal information. We also do not “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is defined in certain U.S. state privacy laws.

We share information only with service providers and processors that help us host the site, send emails, provide analytics, store files, and perform similar functions; these parties are bound by confidentiality and may process data solely on our instructions. We may also disclose information to professional advisers, in connection with a business transaction, or when required by law or valid legal process. If a disclosure request is made, we review it for legal sufficiency and, where permitted, provide notice.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to inquiries and maintain appropriate business records, and then delete or anonymize it according to our retention schedules and legal requirements. You may request deletion earlier, subject to any obligations that require us to keep certain records.

We safeguard information with administrative, technical, and physical measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data, including encrypted transmission, restricted access, authentication controls, and logging. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; however, we continually work to enhance our protections.

If we transfer personal information across borders, we use lawful transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards, and we take steps to ensure that your information remains protected in accordance with this policy.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to your personal information, to correct inaccuracies, to delete or restrict processing, to receive a portable copy, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Residents of some U.S. states may also have the right to appeal a decision regarding their request. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below; we will verify your identity, respond within the time required by law, and not discriminate against you for making a request.

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date above indicates the current version. Material changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
