Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

ResearchLayer ("we", "us", "our") operates the website researchlayer.ai. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

1. Data we collect

We collect data you provide voluntarily through our demo request form:

If you accept optional analytics cookies, we also collect anonymised usage data as described in section 4 below. We do not use advertising cookies or sell your data.

2. How we use your data

We use the information you submit solely to:

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Legal basis

Our legal basis for processing your enquiry data is legitimate interests (responding to a business enquiry you initiated) and, where applicable, pre-contractual steps at your request. Analytics tools are loaded only with your consent (opt-in via the cookie banner). reCAPTCHA is loaded on legitimate interest grounds for security.

4. Analytics and tracking tools

PostHog

If you accept optional cookies, we load PostHog (EU cloud), a product analytics platform operated by PostHog, Inc. PostHog collects anonymised data about page views, session activity, and general interaction patterns. All form inputs are masked — PostHog never sees what you type. Data is stored on EU servers. PostHog does not use your data for advertising.

To opt out, withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookie-consent key from localStorage and rejecting cookies on your next visit.

Google reCAPTCHA v3

We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 on our demo request form to detect automated submissions. reCAPTCHA runs invisibly and assigns a risk score; no challenge puzzle is shown. It collects information about your browser environment and interaction patterns. reCAPTCHA is loaded on legitimate interest grounds (fraud prevention and security) and does not require consent. Data is processed by Google LLC under their privacy policy.

5. Data processors

We use the following third-party processors:

6. Retention

We retain enquiry data for up to 12 months, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. PostHog analytics data is retained for 1 year per their default settings.

7. Cookies

See our full Cookie Policy for a list of all cookies set by this site, their purpose, and their expiry. You can manage your cookie preferences via the banner shown on your first visit. reCAPTCHA cookies are strictly functional and cannot be declined.

8. Your rights

Under UK/EU GDPR you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@researchlayer.ai. We will respond within 30 days.
