what is it?
The Guernsey AI Sprint is an island-wide programme bringing together businesses, organisations, and individuals to explore, learn, and act on artificial intelligence. Over several weeks in Autumn 2026, we'll run workshops, talks, hackathons, and hands-on challenges designed to move Guernsey from AI curiosity to AI confidence.
Why now?
AI is already reshaping industries, workforces, and economies - and Guernsey cannot afford to wait. The window of opportunity for Channel Islands organisations to lead on AI adoption is closing fast. The Sprint is designed to upskill the wider population - urgently and practically.
Who is this for?
The Guernsey AI Sprint is for everyone - whether you're a business leader, an employee, an SME owner, a charity worker, or simply curious about what AI means for you. No technical background is needed; just an open mind and a willingness to learn.

Guernsey AI Sprint 2026 Last updated: 28 May 2026
1. About this website
This website (www.ai-sprint.gg) is the public registration platform for Guernsey's AI Sprint 2026 — a multi-week, island-wide programme running in Autumn 2026, designed to drive practical AI adoption across all sectors of the Guernsey economy.
This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you register your interest, why we collect it, how it is used, and your rights under Guernsey data protection law.
2. Who is responsible for your data
The Guernsey AI Sprint is organised by eight co-organising bodies (the "G8") acting as joint controllers under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017:
Guernsey Chamber of Commerce
Guernsey International Business Association (GIBA)
Guernsey Hospitality Association
Guernsey Building Trades Employers Association (GBTEA)
Institute of Directors (IoD Guernsey)
Guernsey Retail Group
Confederation of Guernsey Industry (CGI)
Association of Guernsey Charities (AGC)
Guernsey Chamber of Commerce acts as lead controller and is your primary point of contact for any questions about how your data is handled. A Joint Controller Agreement governs how responsibilities are shared between the eight organisations.
To contact us about your data: katie@concisedata.co.uk
3. What information we collect
When you register your interest through this website, we collect the following:
Full name (Required)
Email address (Required)
Registering as [Attendee / Speaker / Partner or Sponsor] (Required)
Employer sector (Optional)
Your role or sector (Optional)
Organisation size (Optional)
AI experience level (Optional)
What you hope to get from the Sprint (Optional)
We do not collect any special category data (such as health information, ethnicity, or political opinions).
4. Why we collect it and our lawful basis
The lawful basis for processing your personal data is consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017). By submitting the registration form you are actively consenting to the uses described in this policy.
We use your information to:
Confirm your registration and send you event communications (updates, logistics, reminders)
Manage attendance and on-the-day logistics
Understand the reach of the Sprint across sectors, organisation sizes and AI experience levels
Produce aggregated, anonymised post-Sprint reporting and impact analysis — including reports that may be shared publicly, submitted to the States of Guernsey, or covered by local and international media
Plan future Sprint programmes
Aggregated and anonymised findings only will appear in any published output. No individual participant will be identifiable in any report. We will not use your data for unrelated marketing or commercial purposes without obtaining fresh consent.
5. How we share your information
We will not share your personal data with sponsors, partners or other third parties without your separate, specific consent.
Your data will be accessible only to authorised staff across the eight G8 co-organising bodies, on a need-to-know basis, under the terms of our Joint Controller Agreement.
Aggregated and anonymised findings — where no individual can be identified — may be published publicly as described above.
6. Data storage and security
Your data will be held on a secure registration platform. We are currently finalising our platform selection and will ensure that any provider we use meets appropriate technical and contractual standards before registrations open, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and a Data Processing Agreement.
7. How long we keep your data
Registration and contact data will be retained for 12 months after the Sprint concludes, to allow for follow-up queries and post-event administration. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
Aggregated and anonymised statistics (for example, the number of registrants by sector) may be retained beyond this period for reporting, impact analysis and future sprint planning — but these will not contain any information that identifies you.
8. Your rights
Under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, you have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct any inaccurate information
Delete your data (subject to any legitimate retention requirements)
Withdraw your consent at any time — if you do, we will remove you from mailing lists and delete or anonymise your data; this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal
Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA): www.odpa.gg
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: [contact email address]. We aim to respond within 5 working days.
9. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back periodically if you have registered your interest.
