Privacy & Cookies Policy

Who we are

This policy explains how Blackstone Islamic Global ("BIG", "we", "us") collects and uses personal information when you visit this website or contact us. We operate from Lahore, London, New York and Jeddah.

Information we collect

• Details you give us: your name, email, phone number, company and the contents of any message or enquiry you send.
• Information you provide when becoming a client, such as identity, address, tax and source-of-funds details we need for onboarding and regulatory checks.
• Technical data from your visit: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed and time spent, collected through cookies and similar tools.

How we use it

• To respond to enquiries and provide our services.
• To meet legal and regulatory duties, including identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks.
• To run, secure and improve the website.
• To send updates or research you have asked for. You can opt out at any time.

Legal basis

Where UK or EU data protection law applies, we rely on one or more of: your consent, performance of a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in running and securing our business.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with PSX brokers and other service providers acting for us, professional advisers, IT and hosting providers, and regulators, exchanges or authorities where the law requires it. Providers are bound to protect your information and use it only for the purpose we give them.

International transfers

Because we operate in several countries, your information may be processed outside the country where you live. Where we do this, we take steps to keep it protected in line with applicable law.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including any period required by financial, tax or regulatory record-keeping rules. After that we delete or anonymise it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your information, restrict or object to how we use it, withdraw consent, and ask for a copy of it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. To use any of these rights, contact us at info@biglobal.pk.

• Unsplash (images.unsplash.com): hosts some of the photographs shown on the pages. Not essential: if it is blocked, those images simply do not load. Not used for advertising.
