How BLOC handles your information

Seat requests: your name, email, city/state and, if you choose, phone number and how you heard about BLOC. We also keep the campaign link you arrived from (UTM source, medium, campaign and content, or the referring website) so organizers know which promotions reach people.

Ticket orders: the purchaser’s name, email and, if provided, phone number; the name of each guest on the order; the ticket type, quantity and amounts; payment status; and check-in records (admission and, for VIP tickets, food, drink-voucher and masterclass redemption). We never see or store card numbers.

Sponsor-a-student interest: your name, email and, if you choose, organization, number of seats you might support and a message.

Student interest: your name, email and, if you choose, school or program, graduation year and a message. We do not ask for dates of birth, ID numbers, financial or academic records. Student details are never shared with sponsors without the student’s consent.

To process your request, confirm your email, tell you the organizers’ decision, send event details and a reminder, and manage the guest list and check-in on December 2. Interest submissions are used only to contact you about the proposed student initiative.

We do not sell your information or use it for unrelated marketing.

This site uses first-party measurement only. It records anonymous events — page views, clicks on the main call-to-action, whether the speakers and admission sections were viewed, when the request form is started and submitted, and which ticket type is selected and whether checkout is started or completed — together with campaign (UTM) parameters.

No advertising or third-party analytics trackers are used and no tracking cookies are set. A random session identifier is held in your browser’s session storage and is erased when you close the tab. Analytics events are deleted after 180 days.

Visitors receive no cookies from BLOC. Only signed-in organizers receive a single secure, http-only session cookie to access the organizer dashboard.

Only authorized BLOC organizers, through a protected dashboard. Emails are delivered by our email-delivery provider; the site is hosted by our hosting provider. Ticket payments are processed by Stripe on its hosted checkout page under Stripe’s own privacy policy; card details never touch this site. We receive only the payment status, amount and a payment reference.

You can ask the organizers to correct or delete your information at any time. Registration data is retained only as long as needed for this event and its follow-up.
