Safety and privacy for AI at work
The quiet worry behind every AI conversation, answered properly. Six short lessons that turn data safety from a nagging doubt into a habit your whole team can follow.
- Who it's for
- Owners and teams already using AI, or about to, who want to do it without the nagging data worry
- By the end
- Know exactly what's safe to put into AI, what UK GDPR actually asks of you, and have a one-page policy and a set of habits your whole team can actually follow
Last updated 18 July 2026
The lessons
What you'll work through.
- Why this matters for a small businessData and privacy risk is not just a big-corporate problem. What is actually at stake when a small business puts AI to work, and why it is manageable.
- What never to paste inThe specific categories of information, customer data, financial details, anything commercially sensitive, that should never go into a general AI chat tool.
- GDPR without the jargonThe plain-English version of what UK GDPR actually requires when AI touches customer data, built around realistic small-business scenarios.
- Keeping customer data safe when you automateSpecific habits for when AI is wired into real workflows, not just a one-off prompt, so the safety work happens once, at setup.
- Writing a one-page AI policyA genuinely doable, one-page policy a small business can write this week and actually use, not a twenty-page document nobody reads.
- Building good habits that stickHow to make safe AI use a habit rather than a one-off training session, and exactly what to do if something does go wrong.
