Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 February 2026

Who is responsible for this site

This website is operated by Sam Illingworth. For data protection purposes, I am the data controller.

Analytics

This site uses GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly, open source analytics tool. GoatCounter does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track you across sites. It counts page views only. No data is sent to Google, Facebook, or any advertising network. Fonts are self-hosted. There is nothing to consent to because no personal data is collected.

Speaking enquiries

The speaking page provides an email address for booking enquiries. If you contact me, I use your information solely to respond to your enquiry. I do not add you to any mailing list, share your details with third parties, or use them for marketing. I delete enquiry data once the conversation is concluded or within 12 months, whichever is sooner.

The legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interest (responding to a direct enquiry you have initiated).

AI Adoption Audit

The AI Adoption Audit runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are not sent to any server. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted. The PDF report is generated locally on your device.

Reading List Diversity Audit

The Reading List Diversity Audit sends the DOIs you enter to the CrossRef public API to retrieve publication metadata (author names, affiliations, journal). No other data is sent. CrossRef does not receive any information about you. All analysis and scoring runs in your browser. The PDF report is generated locally on your device.

The Slow AI Public Library

The Slow AI Public Library runs entirely in your browser. Your name and answers are not sent to any server. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted. The downloadable library card is generated locally on your device using the HTML Canvas API.

Hosting

This site is hosted by Netlify (Netlify Inc., San Francisco, USA). Netlify may process server access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL) as part of normal web hosting. See Netlify's privacy policy for details. Netlify participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data I hold about you. You also have the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email sam.illingworth@gmail.com.

If you believe your data has been handled improperly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
