Who runs this site

AdaptAI.org.uk is run by AdaptAI Futures CIC, a community interest company registered in England and Wales, company number 16916525. We are the data controller for the information described on this page.

To contact us about privacy, email support@adaptai.org.uk.

What we collect and why

Server logs. Like almost every website, our web server records each request: your IP address, the date and time, the page or file asked for, the referring page and your browser’s user-agent text. We use these logs to keep the site running and secure and to fix faults. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)): we need them to run a working, safe website. We do not use them to build profiles of visitors.

The job impact calculator. The job title, industry and answers you enter are worked out by JavaScript in your own browser. They are not sent to our server and we do not store them.

Public LinkedIn posts tagged #AdaptAI. The #AdaptAI community page and the home page show public LinkedIn posts that use the #AdaptAI hashtag. Every few days our server uses the Apify service to search LinkedIn for public posts with that hashtag. For each post we keep the post link, the author’s name as shown on LinkedIn, the post text, the number of reactions and the date we added it, in a file on our server. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: showing public discussion about AI and work. If you wrote one of these posts and want it taken down, email us and we will remove it.

Emails you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use them only to reply. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: answering your message.

We do not collect names, email addresses or payment details through forms on this site, we do not sell data, and we do not use your data for marketing.

Cookies and browser storage

AdaptAI itself sets no cookies. If you choose a text size or dark mode in Accessibility Options, that choice is saved in your browser’s local storage. The Bookshop.org book list loads Bookshop.org’s own cookies and scripts. Our cookie policy lists each item by name, what it does and how long it lasts.

Who your data is shared with

We do not sell or pass on your data. These services are involved in running the site:

• Our hosting provider runs the server the site and its logs live on, and processes that data for us.
• Apify: used by our server, not your browser, to find public #AdaptAI LinkedIn posts (see above).

Some parts of pages load from other companies’ servers. When that happens your browser connects to them directly, so they receive your IP address and browser details. They may be outside the UK.

• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com): the Inter and Poppins fonts on every page. See Google’s privacy policy.
• jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net): chart and graph code on the Big Picture, industry and research data pages.
• Bookshop.org (uk.bookshop.org): the “Recommended Reading” book list on the How to Adapt and Support pages. It loads automatically when you open those pages, and Bookshop.org’s widget in turn loads its own Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Web Analytics scripts and sets Cloudflare cookies. If you buy a book through it, AdaptAI gets a small commission. Bookshop.org controls that data under its own privacy policy.

Links to LinkedIn, Buy Me a Coffee and other sites only send you to those sites when you click them. Their own privacy policies then apply.

How long we keep data

• Server logs are kept on the server until the site is next updated or restarted, when they are deleted. We do not copy or archive them.
• LinkedIn post details stay until we remove the post from the page, or sooner if you ask us to.
• Emails are kept for as long as we need them to deal with your message.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• ask for a copy of any personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct it or delete it;
• object to us using it, or ask us to restrict how we use it.

To use any of these rights, including asking us to remove a LinkedIn post or delete log entries about you, email support@adaptai.org.uk. We will reply within one month.

You can delete the accessibility settings yourself at any time with “Reset to Defaults” in Accessibility Options, or by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or 0303 123 1113.
