Prompting Trust publishes independent analysis and commentary at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cyber risk, and digital trust.
Our website address is: https://promptingtrust.ai
Prompting Trust exists to promote clarity, responsibility, and trust in how technology is designed, deployed, and governed. That same posture applies to how we handle data.
We follow a simple set of principles:
We collect only what is necessary to operate and improve the site
We avoid unnecessary tracking, profiling, or data brokerage
We prioritise transparency and proportionality over complexity
We treat data stewardship as a matter of trust, not just compliance
Personal data is handled with care, used only for its stated purpose, and never sold. Where third-party services are used, they are selected deliberately and kept to a minimum.
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string. This information is used to help with spam detection and site security.
An anonymised string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data such as EXIF GPS information. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images published on the site.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies will remain for one year.
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you are logged in to those services.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email as part of the security process.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be recognised and approved automatically rather than held for moderation.
For users who register on the website, if any, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information as required for site administration.
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
