How Agentisk handles your information
What we collect, why we hold it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do about it.
This notice explains what personal information Agentisk Ltd collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have over it. Agentisk Ltd is the data controller for the information described here. We are a UK business and our work is with organisations rather than consumers, so most of the information we handle is business contact information.
Who we are
Agentisk Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17272125, with its registered office at 41 Galsworthy Avenue, Manchester, M8 0SU. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under reference ZC174271. You can check that entry on the ICO register.
You can reach us about anything in this notice by email at [email protected].
The information we collect
We collect the following kinds of personal information.
- Information you give us directly. When you contact us, by email or through the enquiry form on this site, we receive your name, your work email, the company you represent, the option you select to describe yourself, and whatever you choose to include in your message. If you ask to be notified of new publications, we receive your email address for that purpose.
- Information from the control check. This site offers a free self-assessment, the AI Agent Control Check. Your answers are multiple choice and contain no personal or confidential information by design. Your readiness score and the written commentary that sits alongside it are both computed from your answers by a fixed rules engine on this site. Nothing you enter in the check is sent to any AI provider. If you choose to give your email to stay in touch, it is sent through our form provider to our business email, and we use it to send our publications and occasional updates about our work. We do not share it and you can unsubscribe at any time by replying. The check is built so you never need to enter personal or confidential information.
- Information collected automatically when you visit this site. Our website is delivered through Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider, which processes limited technical information such as your IP address and browser type to keep the site running and secure. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first service that measures general usage in aggregate. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other sites, and does not build a profile of you.
- Information from other sources. In the course of business development we may collect business contact information from public and professional sources, for example a public professional profile, a company website, or a public register such as Companies House.
- Information we process during an engagement. If your organisation engages us, we process the business contact details and the project information needed to deliver and administer that work.
We do not seek or knowingly collect special category information, such as information about health, race, or political views, through this site. Our services are intended for organisations and are not directed at children.
Why we use your information
Under UK data protection law we must have a lawful basis for using personal information. The bases we rely on are these.
- To respond to your enquiries and take steps at your request before any agreement, we rely on our legitimate interests and, where relevant, the steps needed to enter into a contract.
- To deliver and administer work for a client organisation, we rely on the performance of our contract with that organisation.
- To carry out business development and maintain professional relationships with organisations, we rely on our legitimate interests in growing the business, balanced against the interests and rights of the people concerned.
- To run a secure and functioning website, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the site.
- To meet our legal and regulatory duties, for example keeping accounting records, we rely on compliance with a legal obligation.
Where we rely on consent, for example if you choose to receive updates from us, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
We do not carry out automated decision making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. The control check is an automated self-assessment. Your readiness score and the written commentary are both computed from your answers by a fixed rules engine. The check gives an indicative readiness result, not a decision about you.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your information. We share it only where necessary, and only with these kinds of recipient.
- Service providers who help us run the business, acting on our instructions and under a written agreement. We keep that list short and we name each one below.
- Professional advisers, such as our accountant or legal advisers, where we need their help.
- Authorities, regulators, or other parties where we are required to share information by law.
These are the services that process information on our behalf. Each one acts on our instructions only, under a written agreement, and none of them uses your information for its own purposes.
- Cloudflare hosts this site, serves the films on it, and gives us aggregate visitor statistics that do not identify anyone.
- Web3Forms receives a subscription request and forwards it to our business email.
- Calendly takes bookings and holds the details you enter when you book.
- n8n Cloud holds our outreach list and the record of what we have sent to each address, and sends each email through Google Workspace. It is hosted in the European Union, in Sweden. It also runs the automation we build and operate, and each client's information will sit in a workspace kept for that client alone.
- Google Workspace carries our business email, including the mailboxes our outreach is sent from. It holds every email we send and every reply we receive.
- Brave Search is used once per firm, to find a firm's website from its registered name and town. The query contains no personal information and we keep nothing from the results except the domain we then verify against the firm's own site.
- Bouncer will check that an email address can receive mail before we write to it. It receives the address only, processes it in the European Union, and deletes it after sixty days or sooner at our request.
- Smartlead exchanges test email with the mailboxes we send from, so that mail providers learn to trust them. It never sends to the people we write to, and we load none of their information into it.
- DocuSign will carry the engagement documents a client signs.
If this list changes, this page changes on the same day.
Sending information outside the UK
Some of our service providers operate outside the United Kingdom. Where your information is transferred outside the UK, we rely on safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as an adequacy decision for the receiving country, or standard contractual protections like the UK International Data Transfer Agreement. Our outreach list is held in the European Union, which UK law recognises as adequate. The emails themselves sit with Google, under the transfer safeguards in Google's data processing addendum.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it. Enquiry and business contact information is kept while there is a live or prospective relationship, and for a reasonable period afterwards. Records connected to a client engagement, including those we are required to keep for accounting and tax, are held for at least six years in line with UK requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or render it anonymous.
How we protect your information
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. These include access controls, the use of reputable service providers, and limiting the information we collect to what we need.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have rights over your personal information. These include the following.
- The right to be informed about how your information is used, which this notice provides.
- The right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- The right to have inaccurate information corrected.
- The right to ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances.
- The right to restrict or object to how we use your information.
- The right to data portability where it applies.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the time allowed by law, which is normally one month.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site is kept deliberately simple. We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking, and we do not sell information to advertisers. Our analytics is privacy-first and sets no cookies. Any cookies used are strictly necessary ones set by our hosting and security provider to keep the site secure. If we ever introduce cookies beyond those strictly needed, we will ask for your consent first.
How to complain
If you have a concern about how we handle your information, please contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator for data protection. You can reach the ICO at ico.org.uk or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.
Where our outreach addresses come from
If we have written to your firm without an introduction, this is how we found you. Companies House told us the firm exists and where it is registered. Your own website told us the address to write to, and we keep a note of the page we read it from. We do not buy lists, we do not guess addresses, and we write only to companies and limited liability partnerships, never to sole practitioners or partnerships.
Every message we send carries a way to tell us to stop, and we stop the same day. You can object to marketing from us at any time and we will stop without argument. We rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis for this, and our assessment of that basis is available on request.
We do not record whether you open our email or click a link in it. If you do not reply, we keep your address for six months after our last email, so that we do not write to you again too soon, and then delete it. If you ask us to stop, we keep a record of that request so that you never hear from us again.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Where a change is significant, we will take reasonable steps to make it clear.
