Who we are
This website is operated by Brad, trading as The Boring AI Guy, based in Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland. For any privacy-related questions, contact guy@boringaiguy.com.
What data we collect
We only collect data that is necessary for running this website and communicating with potential clients.
- Analytics data — if you accept cookies, Google Analytics collects anonymised information about your visit: pages viewed, time on site, country, browser type. No personally identifiable information is collected.
- Email address and name — if you subscribe to the mailing list via the sign-up form. This data is stored with Mailchimp and used only to send the resource you requested and occasional updates about our services.
- Booking information — if you book a call via Cal.com, their privacy policy applies to the information you provide there.
Cookies
We use one analytics cookie (Google Analytics), only if you give consent. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
When you first visit this site, a banner asks for your consent before any analytics cookie is set. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining when the banner reappears.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
Legal basis for processing
We rely on consent for analytics cookies and mailing list sign-ups. We rely on legitimate interest for storing enquiry correspondence.
- Consent — analytics cookies; mailing list subscription.
- Legitimate interest — keeping records of business enquiries.
- Contract — processing information necessary to deliver services to clients.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the third-party tools needed to run the site.
- Google Analytics — anonymised site usage data (consent required).
- Mailchimp — email address and name for the mailing list (opt-in only).
- Cloudflare — this site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which processes request logs.
All third-party processors are bound by their own GDPR-compliant data processing agreements.
How long we keep your data
We keep data only as long as necessary.
- Analytics data — retained by Google for 14 months (default GA4 setting).
- Mailing list — until you unsubscribe. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
- Enquiry records — up to 3 years after last contact.
