Last updated: April 2026

Who We Are

Rora is a UK-based AI consultancy providing automation, websites, and AI systems to small and medium businesses. We are registered in England and Wales.

Data controller contact: [email protected]

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller. ICO registration number: [ICO_NUMBER].

What Data We Collect

We collect personal data through the following routes:

AI Assessment Form

When you complete our free AI assessment, we collect: your name, email address, business name, business type, team size, and your answers to the assessment questions. This data is used to generate your personalised AI readiness report and to follow up with you about the results.

Contact Form

When you use our contact form, we collect: your name, email address, and the details of your enquiry.

Technical Data

When you visit our website, our hosting infrastructure (Vercel, Cloudflare) may automatically collect standard server logs including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security and performance purposes only and is not used to identify individual visitors.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (health, financial, ethnic origin, etc.) through any of our website forms.

How We Use Your Data

  • To generate and deliver your AI assessment report
  • To follow up with you about your assessment results (up to 3 contacts over 7 days)
  • To respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form
  • To improve our services based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns

We do not add you to mailing lists, share your data with marketers, or contact you for any purpose unrelated to your initial enquiry without your explicit consent.

Automated Decision-Making and AI Processing

Our AI assessment tool uses automated processing to generate a personalised report based on your answers. This involves passing your responses to an AI model (Anthropic Claude API) which analyses them and produces recommendations.

Under UK GDPR Article 22, you have rights in relation to automated decision-making. In this case:

  • The report is indicative only — it does not constitute professional advice and carries no legal or financial consequence for you
  • No decisions that significantly affect you are made solely by automated means
  • A human (us) reviews all follow-up activity before making contact with you
  • You can request human review of any output by contacting us at [email protected]

Anthropic API and training data:Your assessment data is processed by Anthropic's Claude API. Anthropic's API usage policy confirms that data submitted via the API is not used to train their models. Your answers are used solely to generate your report and are not retained by Anthropic beyond the immediate API call.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — to respond to your enquiries and follow up on assessment results. Our interest in responding to people who have actively requested information from us is balanced against your reasonable expectation that we will make contact. You can object to this processing at any time.
  • Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)) — where we have entered into a paid engagement with you, processing is necessary to deliver the agreed services.
  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for any further marketing contact beyond the direct follow-up on your enquiry.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — where we are required by law to retain certain records (e.g., for tax and accounting purposes).

Third Parties We Share Data With

Your data may be processed by the following third-party services, all of which are engaged under appropriate data processing agreements or standard contractual clauses.
