AI Policy & Disclosure

Last updated: 13 March 2026

​

I want to be fully transparent about how I use AI at Elements Running Education. This policy details when and how AI tools are used — and what I never use them for.​​

​

What I may use AI for

I occasionally use AI tools for some of the following:

​

• Consolidation of market research, analytics or feedback

• Brainstorming help or idea-generation for things like blog topics or presentations

• Creating technical documents such as terms and conditions, policies or surveys

• Drafting the structure of a blog post

• Transcribing calls for the purpose of note-keeping and review; if I use an AI scribe I will always seek verbal consent before proceeding with the call.

• In the past, I have used AI for some social media and blog posts, many of which are still out there. I no longer use AI in this way.

​

What I don't use AI for

AI tools are never used for any of the following:

​

• Writing training plans. What you see is personally written by me and different from anyone else's training plan.

• Personal emails, training feedback, or any other 1:1 or group communication

• Email newsletters

• Informational handouts, welcome packets, videos, or any other training materials or resources

• Copy on my website; it is written and edited by me or another human editor

• Anything requiring care, personalization or the use of your personal details in any way

​​

Role of AI in my business

I believe in the importance of a fully personalized approach and real human interaction. My use of AI tools is limited to process tasks that don't need my personal touch or tone of voice — tasks where I can save time without compromising the result. The environmental impact of AI is concerning, and I don't like to use it if I feel it's unnecessary.

 

Any copy that is drafted by AI is reviewed and edited by me, a real human. If I use AI for research, I check all claims and facts through reputable sources before using or sharing them.

​

I never feed AI tools any personal or identifying information about clients, leads, or other contacts.

​

Furthermore, my AI tools are set to private mode, which means content is not shared beyond my own AI queries. It's possible that platforms change their default settings from time to time; if I become aware of any such changes, I will strive to update my settings as soon as possible.

​

Changes to this policy

If there are any changes to this policy, those updates will be posted on this page with the revised date.
