Who we are

Lumi Bridge AI is the trading name of Lin Qu, a sole trader based in Bournemouth, UK. Lin Qu is the data controller for any personal information you share with us. Contact: lin@lumibridge.co.uk.

What we collect

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking. We only collect personal information you choose to send us, for example when you email us to ask about a programme or register interest in a course. This may include your name, email address, school or organisation, and anything else you include in your message.

How we use it

To reply to your enquiry and provide information you asked for
To arrange and deliver programmes you agree to take part in
To let you know about a course you registered interest in

Our lawful basis is your consent or our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry, and, where we deliver a service, the performance of a contract.

Sharing

We do not sell your information. We only share it with service providers that help us run our business (such as our email provider), or with programme partners where this is needed to deliver something you have signed up for and you have been told in advance.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry emails for up to two years, unless we have an ongoing working relationship with you.

Data contributors (AI data projects)

If you take part in one of our paid AI data projects, such as speech recording or transcription, this section explains how we handle your data. Each project also comes with its own information sheet and consent form, which tells you exactly what will be collected and who it is for.

What we collect: your contact and payment details, basic profile information the project needs (for example language, accent, age range or gender), and the recordings or text you produce for the project.
Consent first: we only record you after you have read the project information and given written consent. You can withdraw before your recordings are delivered.
Who receives it: recordings and the anonymised profile information are delivered to the company that commissioned the project, under a contract that limits how they may use it. Your contact and payment details are not passed on.
Security: project data is stored securely with access limited to the people working on the project, and only transferred through secure channels.
Retention: we delete project recordings from our systems once they have been delivered and accepted, and keep payment records only as long as tax law requires.
Age: contributors must be 18 or over.

Our lawful basis is your consent and the contract between you and us for the project.

Workshops and classroom activities

Any voice recordings or data created by students during our workshops are used only for the learning activity in that session and deleted afterwards. They are never used for commercial projects.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete your information, or object to how we use it. Email lin@lumibridge.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
