Privacy

Colin Iles Media (Pty) Ltd (“we”, “us”) operates colinilesmedia.com. This page explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it.

What we collect

  • Newsletter signups: your email address and name, so we can send you The Backroom.
  • Event registrations:email, name, company, job title, and (for in-person events) phone number, LinkedIn URL, country, and city. Shared with our webinar platform to issue join links, and shared with the event’s sponsor (see Sponsors).
  • Video gate: your email address, so you do not have to re-enter it each time you watch a gated video.
  • Analytics: we use privacy-friendly analytics that collect anonymous page-view data with no cookies and no personal identifiers.

Why we collect it

To send you The Backroom newsletter, register you for events, and deliver gated video content you have requested. Our events are funded by sponsors, so registering for an event also shares your details with that event’s sponsor (see Sponsors). We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Sponsors

Our roundtables, webinars, and live interviews are made possible by sponsors. When you register for a sponsored event, your registration details are shared with that event’s sponsor. This is part of how the event is funded, so it happens as part of registering. That sponsor may then contact you about their own products and services, and their emails must give you a way to opt out.

We only work with sponsors we trust to handle your information responsibly. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time, and you can ask us to stop sharing your details with sponsors by emailing colin@coliniles.com.

Your rights

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. To request deletion of all your data, or to ask what we hold, email colin@coliniles.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Cookies

We use one functional cookie (video_gate) to remember that you have unlocked gated video content. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted in the newsletter. This policy was last updated on 6 July 2026.
