Data Storage

All information that you provide us with is stored on our secure servers, or those of our Third Party Data Storage Provider located within the EEA (some data used in the preparation and output of your Transition Lab may be temporarily stored on servers from our Third Party Data Storage Provider located within the US for a period of up to 14 days from capture, upon which time it will be transferred to EEA). All data requests, including those permitted to permanent data storage in the EU, are processed via Airtable’s US servers before being stored in their permitted data jurisdiction.

Data Processing

Data processing will take place within the UK, EEA, and US and where your personal data is processed outside of the United Kingdom, Deloitte has ensured that appropriate safeguards are taken to protect it.

We will process information about you to arrange and conduct the Transition Lab experience with you directly and to document discussions and findings to provide you with an output from your experience.

We will retain data for 7 years after the Transition Lab is held, at which point we will anonymise the data and remove personal identifiers. During this time, any output and personal information will be readily available to you. Any data processed for research or statistical analysis will always be free from personal information.

AI

1To enhance efficiency and insights, we may utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for tasks such as content preparation, data analysis, and process automation. Data used for AI processing may include (but not limited to):

  • Stakeholder interview notes
  • Lab session content (preparation and final reports)
  • Feedback surveys
  • Business contact information (Deloitte and Client)
  • Publicly available information about you or your business through access to the web.

Data classifications for AI processing may include: Public, Deloitte Confidential (including business contact information), Client Confidential (including business contact information), Deloitte High Risk Confidential, Client High Risk Confidential, Personal.3

Input will be free from personal information3 in these processes and all AI output is anonymised and thoroughly reviewed and validated by our experienced professionals to ensure accuracy and relevance.

AI capability is provided by our Third-Party Data Storage Provider (Airtable) and makes use of LLMs operational on AWS Amazon Bedrock. Only AI models hosted within AWS EU are permitted for use, however initiation of requests may be processed through Airtable’s US servers before being sent to EU hosted LLMs for AI processing. Outputs may also be processed through Airtable’s US servers before being stored at rest in the EU. All requests and responses to and from AI platforms are encrypted in transit.

The data within Airtable workspaces (“customer data”) is not retained by any of Airtable’s AI platforms or model developers and is not used for model training by Airtable or its AI vendors. This includes the input that is sent to the LLM (the prompt and the associated data) as well as the response returned from the model (output). Airtable has contractual safeguards through data protection agreements with their AI vendors to ensure that customer data is not used for current or future model training.

We may utilise alternative AI tooling for efficiency and insights (Microsoft Copilot and Deloitte curated agents in partnership with AI providers such as Google Gemini and Open AI ChatGPT – UK/EU based models). Where these tools are utilised, Deloitte has assessed them to ensure that appropriate safeguards are taken to protect your data.

3Personal data is only permitted for use within Microsoft Copilot. Data always remains within Deloitte’s protected Microsoft 365 environment, and Microsoft’s contractual security and data‑protection measures continue to apply.

Email Services

To support the delivery of your opportunity, we may utilise Airtable’s in built email service to provide the Transition Lab team and Deloitte facilitation teams with notifications about your Lab (e.g. receiving internal requests for the Lab opportunity, approval status, scheduling Lab dates etc). Airtable utilises a sub processor, Mailgun Technologies, Inc, to conduct this transactional email service and is hosted within EU servers.

To aid with the creation of your Lab outputs, we will utilise Intuiface’s in built email service for Digital Transition Labs. This allows the Transition Lab team to retrieve screenshots of your experience to compile into a password protected PDF. Intuiface does not store any client data whilst utilising this service, however will be required to process the Lab screenshots in their AWS EU servers for the purpose of sending the emails.

Further information

We may modify or amend this Privacy Notice from time to time. When we make changes to this notice, we will amend the revision date at the top of this page, and such modified or amended Privacy Notice will be effective from that revision date. We therefore invite you to regularly consult this notice to stay up to date with any changes made since your last consultation.
