Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Mercurious.ai is Rob Abbey's AI consultancy. This page explains what information we collect when you visit or get in touch, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We've written it in plain English because privacy policies don't need to be confusing. If you have questions about any of this, email .
Who we are
Mercurious.ai is operated by Rob Abbey, based in Athlone, Ireland. Rob is the data controller — meaning he's the person responsible for how your information is handled.

What we collect and why
When you visit the site
By default, we collect nothing personal. If you accept analytics cookies, we may collect anonymised data about how you use the site — pages visited, how you arrived, time spent. No names, no email addresses, nothing that identifies you. It just helps us understand what's useful and improve the site.
Your cookie choice (accepted or declined) is saved in your browser. It's a simple yes or no — not linked to any personal information.
When you get in touch
If you use the contact form or email us directly, we receive your name, email address, and your message. We use it to reply to you.
If you book a discovery call or enquire about our services, we may add you to our mailing list to keep you informed about AI insights and Mercurious.ai updates. We'll always tell you when we do this, and every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. We will never add you to a list without telling you first.
When you use the chatbot
If you chat with the assistant on the site, the conversation may be logged so Rob can review it and improve the service. If you share your name and email during the conversation, that information is stored securely. You'll always be asked before anything identifying you is saved, and you can say no.
Who we share your data with
Nobody commercially. We don't sell data. We don't share your details with marketing companies.
The only third parties involved are the tools that run the site:
- Netlify — hosts the website. Netlify is a US company, but your data is protected under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
- Supabase — stores chatbot conversation logs, if you use the chatbot. Data is stored on EU servers in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Anthropic — powers the chatbot AI. Anthropic is a US company; data is processed to generate responses and is subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.
How long we keep things
Contact enquiries — as long as needed to handle your query, typically no more than two years.
Chatbot conversations — 12 months, then deleted.
Cookie preference — stored in your browser until you clear it or change your mind.
Mailing list — until you unsubscribe.

Under GDPR you have the right to:
- See what personal data we hold about you

If you feel we've mishandled your data, you can raise it with the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file stored in your browser. We use one to remember your privacy preference. If you accept analytics, a few more may be added to collect anonymous usage data. We don't use cookies to track you across other websites or build any kind of profile.
You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the link in the cookie banner on the main site.
