Privacy Policy
How we handle personal data, and how to exercise your rights under UK and US privacy law.
Last updated 26 August 2026
Who we are
AventeQ AI (“AventeQ”, “we”, “us”) provides research, intelligence, and AI engineering services to independent and boutique management consultants.
For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can reach us about anything on this page at partnerships@aventeqai.com.
What we collect
Information you give us directly. When you submit the contact form we collect your name, work email address, your role, and whatever you write in the message field, together with your consent to be contacted.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites we collect standard technical data through analytics — pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site.
Information stored in your browser. To avoid losing a part-completed form, we save a draft of your entries in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device and is cleared when the form is submitted. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
We do not collect special category data, and we do not ask for it. Please do not send confidential client information through the contact form.
Why we use it, and our lawful basis
To respond to your enquiry and scope potential work. Lawful basis: legitimate interests, and where you have given it, consent.
To send you follow-up about our services, but only where you have opted in. Lawful basis: consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
To understand how the site is used and improve it. Lawful basis: consent for non-essential analytics cookies.
To meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations. Lawful basis: legal obligation.
Who we share it with
Resend, our email delivery provider, which processes enquiry data solely to send it to us as an email notification.
Google Analytics 4, which provides website analytics.
Microsoft Clarity, which provides aggregated usage analytics and session insights.
We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data with third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.
International transfers
Some of our service providers are based outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or an applicable adequacy decision.
Our team operates from multiple locations, which may include locations outside the UK. Appropriate contractual safeguards apply to any such access.
How long we keep it
Enquiry data is kept for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards to maintain a record of our correspondence, generally no more than 24 months from last contact unless we have an ongoing relationship or a legal reason to keep it longer.
Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the relevant provider.
You can ask us to delete your data sooner — see your rights below.
Your rights in the UK and Europe
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you have the right to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data erased, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise any of these, email partnerships@aventeqai.com. We will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with our response you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your local supervisory authority.
Your rights in the United States
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion, to request correction, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to limit the use of sensitive personal information.
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, and we do not process sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Residents of other US states with comprehensive privacy laws — including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Texas — have comparable rights of access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out. We apply the same process to all such requests.
To make a request, email partnerships@aventeqai.com with the subject line “Privacy Request”. We may need to verify your identity before acting.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary items keep the site working. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity help us understand usage and are only set where permitted.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.
We do not currently respond to Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track browser signals in a standardised way, but we do not sell or share personal data in any case.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encrypted transport, access controls, and limiting access to those who need it.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is aimed at business users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16, and we do not direct any part of this site at children.
