This page explains what personal information Phrenos.ai collects through this website, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and what your rights are. We try to keep it plain and short, and to collect only what we need.
Who we are
Phrenos.ai is an independent AI consultancy run by Sophia Livanos, and is the controller of the personal information described here. You can contact us about anything on this page at hello@phrenosai.com.
What we collect, and why
- Contact form. Your name, work email, organisation, role and message. We use these to reply to you and to discuss working together. We rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, and on taking steps you ask for before entering a contract.
- AI readiness check. Your answers and score, and your email address if you unlock the full result. We use them to show and email you your result, and we may follow up about it if it looks useful. We rely on your consent and on our legitimate interest in following up.
- Cheat sheet. Your email address, so that we can give you the download and email you a link. We rely on your consent.
- The AI Updates briefing. Your email address and where you signed up, so that we can send you new articles and occasional resources. We only add you if you ask, using the sign-up form or the box on our other forms. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We rely on your consent.
- Article reactions. If you press the thumbs up or down on an article, we store that reaction with a random code kept in your browser. It does not identify you.
- Visit counts. We count visits, and clicks on key buttons and forms, with Vercel Web Analytics and Umami. Neither uses cookies or identifies you, and Umami stores its data in the EU. We do not currently use analytics cookies.
We do not sell your information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions about you.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted providers to run the site. They only handle your information to provide their service to us:
- Vercel, which hosts the website.
- Umami, which counts visits and clicks without cookies, with its data stored in the EU.
- Supabase, which stores enquiries, sign-ups and subscribers in our database.
- Resend, which sends our emails.
- Web3Forms, which delivers form notifications to us.
Some of these providers are based in, or process information in, countries outside the UK, including the United States. Where that happens we rely on approved safeguards such as the UK addendum to the standard contractual clauses, or an adequacy decision.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries and readiness or cheat sheet sign-ups: for as long as we need them to deal with your request, and then for up to 24 months.
- Briefing subscribers: until you unsubscribe. We then keep a minimal record so that we do not email you again.
- Article reactions: for as long as the article is published.

Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy you can move elsewhere, and withdraw your consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email hello@phrenosai.com. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, though we would always like the chance to put things right first.
