Founding 50

Privacy notice

How Benchpoint uses what you give us in the Proof Gap Check and the Founding 50 Waitlist.

What we collect

Your name, work email and school or school group. For the Waitlist, we also collect your role, school setting, school country or territory, current stage of AI use, your written question about AI at school, and who you expect to share your result with. For the Check we keep your 15 answers and the result we calculate. We record anonymous page events (a visit, a start, and which question was answered) with the link tags in the page address, such as the campaign and which headline you saw. We do not ask for pupil data.

Why we use it

To calculate and show your result. To understand where leaders leave the Check so we can improve it. To choose and contact schools for the Founding 50, which we select by hand, and to tailor the experience to participating schools. We use the questionnaire answers to understand schools’ needs and plan the benchmark. We will not publish an individual answer or identifiable quote without separate permission. We use your details to contact you about the Founding 50 only if you ticked the box to say we may.

Marketing email is not automated, and we do not email your result to you.

We process the Check details to provide the assessment you request, and use aggregate events to improve the service. Contact about the Founding 50 is based on your optional consent.

Your result link

Your result has an unlisted link. Anyone with the link can see your scores, areas and priorities. Shared links do not include your name, email or school. Your immediate result is personalised in browser memory only; refreshing the page removes that personalisation. Share your result only with people you choose.

Who sees it

Benchpoint administrators can see submissions. Our hosting provider, Replit, processes the stored data to run this service. For people who consent to Founding 50 contact, we send their name, work email and three Waitlist answers to the Waitlist group in MailerLite. For people who consent through the Proof Gap Check, we send their name, work email, school and all 15 Check answers (including the optional free-text response) to a separate MailerLite group. We do not send Check answers for people who do not tick the optional contact box. We do not list any school's result publicly. We may publish anonymous totals when a group is large enough that no school can be identified.

Storage and tracking

Your saved result and associated details, including your Waitlist answers, remain stored so you can return to them, until you ask us to delete them. We do not ask for pupil data. Please do not include personal or sensitive information about pupils or staff in your written answer.

We use browser session storage to carry your headline and campaign tags through the Check. Page events do not contain contact details or a visitor identifier. Counts reflect events, not unique visitors, and revisiting a page can add another event.

Your rights

You can ask to see the details we hold about you, correct them, delete them, restrict or object to our use of them, and withdraw your consent at any time. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

To use any of these rights, contact Benchpoint.
