Privacy Policy

Who we are

Bionic (bionic.global) is operated by Amit Patel. This site publishes articles, field notes and a newsletter on AI, leadership and enterprise transformation.

What data we collect

Newsletter subscribers. When you sign up to the newsletter we collect your email address. This is stored and processed by our email provider, Beehiiv, under their privacy policy. We do not sell, rent or share your email address with third parties.

Analytics. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics tool, to understand which articles are read and where traffic comes from. Plausible does not collect personal data, use cookies or track individuals across websites. No data is shared with advertisers.

Booking. If you book a call via Cal.com, your name and email are processed by Cal.com under their privacy policy.

AI Readiness Diagnostic. When you take the diagnostic, we collect your name, email address, company (optional), function (optional) and your responses to the diagnostic questions. This data is used to generate your personalised report, which is sent to your email address via Resend. Your responses are stored in Supabase (EU region). We use anonymised, aggregated diagnostic data to provide sector benchmarking — no individual responses are shared. If you opt in to marketing communications, we may send you AI insights and updates from Bionic. You can opt out at any time by replying to any email or contacting us.

Registration of interest. When you register interest in the Online Programme, we collect your name, email and company via Formspree. This data is used solely to notify you when the programme launches.

Cookies

Data retention
