Legal Issue(s):

The Echoing Green team is preparing to launch a new Fellow application process that incorporates AI-enabled tools. They access Anthropic’s models through a paid commercial agreement, with pre-screening running programmatically through the Claude Platform API. This system will be used to pre-screen applications, and Echoing Green will use the applicants’ data, as well as the reviewers’ data, to train their own models in the future. No award is made without human review, but applications will be rejected automatically without a human ever reviewing them.

The Echoing Green team is now seeking assistance reviewing and updating their Privacy Policy (and related consent language) to ensure that it captures their current practices and complies with applicable law. Echoing Green receives applications from all over the world (including Europe) and this Privacy Policy must comply with GDPR.

The application process will open in November. So, the Privacy Policy will need to be updated by the end of October.
