Who we are and what this policy covers
Consumer AI Safety, available at aisafetyindex.com, is operated by Prosaic Intelligence (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains how we handle information about visitors to our website and people who contact us about our research, services, or opportunities. The website publishes the AI Safety Index and related research. You can read it without creating an account. It does not currently offer visitor accounts, payments, or a chatbot for submitting prompts to the models we evaluate.
Information you send us
When you email us, we receive your email address, any name you provide, your message and attachments, and ordinary email metadata. This may include a correction, research contribution, media inquiry, privacy request, or job application. Application materials may include your work history, qualifications, and links you choose to share. We use this information to handle the matter you contacted us about. Please send only information relevant to your request and avoid including sensitive personal information or information about other people unless necessary and you are entitled to share it.
Technical information when you visit
Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes requests needed to deliver and protect the website. These requests can include your IP address, requested URL, browser and device information, referring page, request time, and response or error details. Hosting and security logs may retain some of this information to investigate problems, detect abuse, and maintain availability. This operational processing is separate from the optional analytics described below and can occur even when analytics is disabled.
Website analytics
When enabled, we use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages and research tools people use. Analytics may include page paths, referring websites, approximate location, browser and device type, and event times. We may also count benchmark selections, chart downloads, and share-button interactions, together with the chart path and export format. We remove query strings and URL fragments from page URLs sent to analytics, and do not include search text or email addresses in our custom event properties. Vercel describes this service as using aggregate statistics and a temporary request-derived visitor identifier rather than tracking cookies. We do not use session replay or record the contents of your screen. Analytics does not tell us who ultimately receives a chart you share.
Mailing list
If you join our mailing list, we store the email address you enter and the time you joined, in a database hosted by Amazon Web Services. We use it only to send updates about the AI Safety Index and our research. Every update we send will include a way to unsubscribe, and you can also ask us to remove your address at any time using the contact details below. We do not sell your address or share it for advertising.
How and why we use information
We use information to deliver and secure the website, investigate technical problems, respond to correspondence, assess corrections and research contributions, consider applications, understand aggregate readership, and meet legal obligations. We do not add you to a marketing mailing list simply because you contact us. Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, our purposes may be supported by legitimate interests in operating and improving a public research service and handling inquiries, steps you request before entering a contract, or legal obligations. Where consent is required, we will obtain it for the relevant activity and you may withdraw it. Visiting the website is not treated as blanket consent to unrelated uses of your information.
How long information is kept
We keep correspondence for the time needed to respond, resolve follow-up issues, and maintain relevant records. A correction may need to be retained to document a published finding; application materials may be needed through a hiring decision and related follow-up. Retention also takes account of legal obligations and disputes. We keep a mailing list address until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it. Hosting logs and analytics are subject to the service provider’s retention settings and the purposes described here. Browser session storage follows your browser’s session and restoration behavior and can be cleared by you. When personal information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it, subject to necessary legal retention and the ordinary expiry of backup copies.
Security and international processing
We use access controls and safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved, but no website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information by email. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries whose privacy laws differ from those where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, those safeguards must be in place, such as an applicable adequacy decision or approved contractual protections. You can contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your data.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can browse without sending us a message, limit the information you include in correspondence, and manage browser storage and permissions. Depending on the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, restrict or object to its use, or withdraw consent. You may also have rights to appeal a decision on your request or complain to your local data protection authority. Requests are subject to applicable limits, and we may need information to verify that the request concerns you. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and explain any refusal where required. We do not discriminate against people for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Children’s information
The website is a general research and information resource. We do not seek personal submissions from children under thirteen. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required. Information about child-safety benchmarks describes research on AI behavior; it does not require children visiting the website to provide information about themselves.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy and its revision date when our practices change. If a change materially affects how we handle personal information, we will provide an appropriate notice on the website or through another suitable channel. Where a new use requires consent or another legal step, updating this policy alone does not replace that requirement.
Privacy questions and requests
Contact Prosaic Intelligence with questions about this policy or to exercise your privacy rights. Describe your request and the interaction it concerns, such as a message you sent us, so we can locate the relevant information. Do not include passwords, payment details, or identity documents in your initial request. hello@prosaicintelligence.ai
