Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy
OUR APPROACH TO USING AI IN OUR RESEARCH
Generative AI has become a very powerful tool to process, structure, and create text and graphics. Lux Research actively seeks to use that power to enhance our research and better serve our clients. At the same time, the real added value of our research lies in the knowledge, thought leadership, and experience of our analysts and the data they collect and curate through primary research. Generative AI cannot substitute for that value — but it can help multiply that value and make it more accessible to our clients. These are our principles when using AI.
WE USE AI TO MAKE OUR RESEARCH MORE ACCESSIBLE AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Lux Research develops AI tools that generate content for our clients on our platform. One example is the predictive anthropology tool that uses AI to generate a direct response to questions clients enter on our site. We will be releasing more tools like it, but they always adhere to the following basic principle.
- Clients will always know if a result has been entirely generated by AI. When it is not mentioned explicitly that a report or other piece of research was generated by AI, clients can be assured that it was written by one of our analysts and has gone through our rigorous quality assurance process of content and copy editing before publication.
- When we provide a custom response to clients that has been generated by AI, the AI tool will base its response on research that was previously generated and edited by our team of analysts. We use AI tools and workflows that have been carefully designed, tested, and optimized with extensive expert input, using data sources and queries that have been curated by our experts, and monitored for quality on an ongoing basis by Lux experts. These tools are used to assemble and structure a response to questions posed by our clients using our research and, where applicable, drawing on data sets that have been selected and curated by Lux experts, such as the consumer conversations analyzed by our MotivAI tool.
- We also use AI tools to provide additional research content on top of our ongoing analyst-written content. For instance, in our coverage of innovative companies on our Lux Lists, our analysts continue to write custom Innovator Assessments based on primary research for the companies we’ve identified as the top players in each technology. However, we now also provide information about companies that we have not interviewed; this information has been assembled automatically by Lux Research’s proprietary AI tool that was specifically developed by Lux for this purpose. In accordance with the principles above, these descriptions are clearly labeled as AI generated, and Lux Research analysts have designed and tested this tool and continue to supervise it, making improvements where needed.
- Every Lux Take we provide about an innovation or innovator is the opinion of the Lux team and written by one of our analysts. When a Lux Take is provided, it is based on research performed by our analysts and written by our analysts, even if the information presented about the company has been generated by our AI tool.
WE USE AI TOOLS TO MAKE OUR ANALYSTS BETTER AT THEIR JOB
In the course of their research, our analysts read and process large amounts of text and information. Generative AI can help them do that faster and more accurately. We use AI tools in our research to improve quality, reliability, and productivity, just like our analysts use many other tools such as literature databases, patent search engines, etc. When using generative AI and other tools, the following principles apply.
- All written research is the original work of our analysts. We do not allow any form of plagiarism and that includes copying text originally generated by AI tools without proper citation. All text and figures not originally conceived by our analysts will only be used with clear reference to the source.
- If that source is an AI tool, the reference will mention which tool was used and on which date.
- Our analysts will use AI tools to edit text originally conceived by our analysts to make it more concise, easier to read, and more consistent with our templated deliverable formats. When an AI tool is used only to edit text, this is not labeled as generated by AI. We use AI tools to edit, just like we use spelling- and grammar-checking tools. The final version is always edited by our analyst.
- Every original piece of research is subject to our quality assurance process. This means it is reviewed in at least two iterations for content, recommendations, and language quality by experienced and trained subject-matter experts and professional editors. Our editors check references to source data and cited text.
Copyright/Quote Policy
To quote, reference, or use any research excerpt by Lux Research Inc., an email request must be submitted to approvals@luxresearchinc.com. Submitted request must include document title and date, and figure or quote requested. All content © 2021, Lux Research, Inc. We will respond to requests within 1 business day, if all required information has been provided.
Event Media Consent Policy
When you enter a Lux Research (“Lux”) event or program, you enter an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur. By entering the event premises, you consent to photography, audio recording, video recording and its/their release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction to be used for promotional purposes, inclusion on websites, social media, or any other purpose by Lux and its affiliates and representatives. Images, photos and/or videos may be used to promote similar Lux events in the future, highlight the event and exhibit the capabilities of Lux.
You release Lux, its officers and employees, and each and all persons involved from any liability connected with the taking, recording, digitizing, or publication and use of photographs, computer images, video and/or sound recordings. By entering the event premises, you waive all rights you may have to any claims for payment or royalties in connection with any use, exhibition, streaming, web casting, televising, or other publication of these materials, regardless of the purpose or sponsoring of such use, exhibiting, broadcasting, web casting, or other publication irrespective of whether a fee for admission or sponsorship is charged. You also waive any right to inspect or approve any photo, video, or audio recording taken by Lux or the person or entity designated to do so by Lux. You have been fully informed of your consent, waiver of liability, and release before entering the event.
Lux Inquiry Policy
Empowering Your Innovation Decisions
At Lux Research, we are committed to helping you make the right innovation decisions every day. Our team of scientists, anthropologists, business executives, and engineers is dedicated to understanding advanced technologies, consumer trends and physical sciences to inspire commercial innovation. Our mission is to help you place the right bets on innovation that will positively impact your organization and the world.
One of the most valuable components of your Lux membership is direct access to our experts through advisory sessions. These inquiries provide personalized insights to help you navigate complex technology landscapes, refine consumer understanding, revalidate strategic initiatives, and elevate innovation roadmaps.
What is a Lux Analyst Inquiry?
A Lux analyst inquiry is a 50-minute virtual conversation between a licensed advisory or executive partner member and a Lux expert. These sessions are designed to provide you with actionable insights tailored to your specific challenges and opportunities.
If an advisory or executive member has an Insight membership attached to their subscription, Insight members may also attend the inquiry, enabling seamless collaboration within your team.
How We Support You
- Inquiries can be requested using the online scheduling tool on the Lux Membership site, or via your dedicated Client Experience Manager.
- Inquiry submissions will receive an acknowledgment within 48 business hours to ensure timely engagement.
- Lux will use best efforts to respond to inquiries within 14 business days, prioritizing your needs.
- Some topics may require multiple inquiries for deeper exploration, and follow-ups can be scheduled as needed within your contract provisions.
Ensuring High-Quality Insights
To maintain the highest quality and integrity of our advisory services:
- Lux does not conduct custom primary or secondary research as part of an inquiry.
- Existing research materials may be shared at the expert’s discretion, but custom presentations will not be developed for inquiries.
- If your inquiry falls outside Lux’s core expertise, we will make every effort to identify a suitable expert, though availability cannot be guaranteed.
Confidentiality and Compliance
Your privacy and intellectual property are our top priorities:
- All inquiries remain strictly confidential between your organization and Lux Research.
- Inquiry calls may be recorded for internal notetaking but will never be shared externally in written or audio form.
- We do our best to provide summarized notes with the next steps after every inquiry session.
Maximizing Your Membership Value
Inquiries are a powerful tool to accelerate your innovation strategies. We encourage you to leverage these sessions to gain expert perspectives, challenge assumptions, and explore emerging trends. Our goal is to provide the right insights at the right time, helping you stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.
For additional guidance on making the most of your inquiries, please reach out to your Lux Account Manager. We look forward to supporting your innovation journey!

If you agree to participate in a recorded video meeting, the record of that meeting and any associated analysis may contain personal information that you have disclosed about yourself and others (such as names, titles, contact information, company, location, your image). You should not disclose any personal information about any other person. If you do, it should be on the basis that you have the consent from that person to disclose their personal information to Lux and you will ensure they are provided with a copy of this Policy.

Photographs, audio recordings, and video recordings may be used to promote similar Lux events in the future, highlight the event, and exhibit Lux’s capabilities.

2. WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information to third parties as follows:
- When we have your consent or authorization to do so.
- To third parties who work on our behalf to service or maintain business contact databases and other IT systems (such as suppliers of the IT systems we use to process or store personal information) or who provide other technical services (such as printing or payment processing).
- To third parties providing services to us or on our behalf who have a need to access your information (such as our professional advisors, including auditors and lawyers, or venues for our events).
- To comply with applicable laws; to protect rights, safety, and property; and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities (such as disclosing data in appropriate situations for national security or law enforcement purposes).
- Subject to applicable law, in connection with a corporate change, such as a merger or sale of Lux or a transfer of some or all of our assets (including in bankruptcy), or for pre-transaction review in relation to such transactions.
Your personal information may be shared if we anonymize and/or aggregate it. Anonymized or aggregated information will cease to be personal information.
Utilization Information
We may share information with our organizational customers about how their employees use the sites and the resources available to them through the sites (such as how employees used certain features, utilization trends, and which features were most popular with the customer’s employees).
3. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
In certain circumstances, you have certain rights regarding the personal information we collect or maintain about you. A summary of each right and how you can exercise it is set out below.
If you live in certain U.S. states or in certain other countries or regions, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy and data protection laws.
| Right | Explanation |
| Right to access your personal information | You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to be provided with a copy of the information (in most circumstances). |
| Right to correct your personal information | You have the right to ask us to update or correct any information we may hold about you that is inaccurate. |
| Right to restrict use of your personal information | You have the right to ask us to restrict processing of your personal information where one of the following applies:
|
| Right to request deletion of your personal information | You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances. There are exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure, such as where the personal information is required to complete a transaction with you, to comply with a legal obligation, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If you want to opt out from receiving marketing communications, the best way to do so is to allow us to retain your information with a “do not contact” tag so we know not to contact you in the future, rather than asking us to delete your information. |
| Right to object to processing of your personal information | You may object to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes. You may also object to processing of your personal information in cases where we have used legitimate interests as the basis for processing. In such cases, we will stop processing your personal information until we verify that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms in asking us to stop processing the data, or in limited cases where we need to continue processing the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. |
| Right to data portability | In most cases, you have the right to receive all personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another data controller, where technically feasible. |
| Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority | If you object to our processing of your personal information, the data protection laws of some jurisdictions give you the right to complain to a data protection authority (“DPA”), depending on the state or country in which you reside, work, or where the alleged infringement of data protection laws has taken place. Please contact us to be directed to the relevant DPA. We agree that any disputes regarding our privacy policies and related actions regarding personal information from data subjects in the EU can be heard by a DPA and we will be subject to the determination of those bodies. |
To opt out of receiving commercial communications, please click on the “unsubscribe” link in the communication or send an email to security@luxresearchinc.com. To exercise any of your other rights (such as the right to access or deletion of your information), please complete the form at https://luxresearchinc.com/lux-privacy-rights/. Such requests should include information to allow us to verify your identity (such as your name, address, email address, or other information reasonably required), a description of the right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates.
Where we receive your request to exercise one of these rights, we will respond without undue delay and within the time required by applicable law. Depending on factors such as the type and complexity of the request, this time may be extended in certain circumstances. We will not discriminate against you in any way for submitting a request or exercising any of your other rights under applicable law.
We will provide the information free of charge, except where requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive. In these circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of complying with a request or decline to comply with a request. We will advise you of any fees prior to proceeding with a request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity before carrying out a request. You may also authorize a third party to submit any of these requests on your behalf; however, we may ask for confirmation of your authorization.
If you have any questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may contact us using any of the methods described in the “Contact Information” section at the end of this Policy.
4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Lux is a global company and we may transfer personal information to other affiliated companies or suppliers outside your country. Lux will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is protected and any such transfers comply with applicable law.
Lux may transfer and maintain the personal information of individuals located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom to servers or databases located outside the EEA or the United Kingdom.
The countries to which we transfer data outside of the EEA and the United Kingdom may include any of the countries in which Lux does business. A list of Lux office locations can be found at https://luxresearchinc.com/overview/.
5. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION
We will retain your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements), to resolve disputes, or to enforce applicable agreements. Personal information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time. Nothing in this notice requires us to keep your personal information for any minimum period of time.
If we have no continuing legitimate business need to keep your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further use until it can be deleted in the normal course of business.
6. CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION
We believe it is important to give you choices about the use of your information. We will use your information as described in this Policy. If we want to use your information for a purpose not described in this Policy, we will first get your consent to do so.
Marketing Communications
We will respect your wishes not to receive marketing communications. You can change your marketing preferences by contacting us at security@luxresearchinc.com. If you gave us your email address to receive marketing communications, you can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe links or instructions included at the bottom of our emails. Please note that we will continue to send you service-related communications regardless of any opt-out request. We will not sell or share your information with third parties (other than our subsidiaries or affiliates) for their own promotional or marketing purposes unless you give us consent to do so and where permitted by applicable law.
7. SECURITY
We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect the security of any personal information we collect and prevent unauthorized access. Despite these measures and our efforts to secure your information, no data transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be entirely secure and we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit via our websites. Transmission of personal information to and from our websites is at your own risk. You should only access our websites within a secure environment. Please note that you are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials used to access any Lux service or account, and you must report suspected unauthorized activity to us. You are responsible for activity conducted with your credentials.
We make reasonable efforts to restrict access to information to only those employees, contractors, and agents who need such access in order to operate, develop, improve, or deliver our programs, products and services.

9. EXTERNAL LINKS
We provide links to other websites that are not part of the products, programs, or services provided by Lux, but Lux is not responsible for the content, policies, materials, and practices of these websites.

In addition, Lux is not responsible for the content, policies, materials, and practices contained at any websites that links to our websites. No external hyperlink provided on Lux’s websites constitutes a Lux endorsement or affiliation.

Do Not Share My Personal Information
Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (“UOOMs”).
You may use a browser-based opt-out signal (such as Global Privacy Control) that will automatically notify the operators of every website you visit not to sell or share your personal information. If we receive a universal opt-out signal when you visit our website, we will process the signal in a frictionless manner so we do not share (as described in the preceding paragraph) personal information associated with that browser or device or the personal information of any individual or profile associated with that browser or device.

- Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information we have about you.
- Delete certain information we have about you.
You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any).

Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide our products and services to you and for compliance with applicable law. If you ask us to delete certain information, you may no longer be able to use our websites or our products or services.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please complete the form at https://luxresearchinc.com/lux-privacy-rights/ or contact us at security@luxresearchinc.com. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Notice Concerning Do Not Track Signals
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We do not recognize or respond to browser-related DNT signals, as the industry is currently working toward a common approach to responding to DNT. To learn more about Do Not Track, please click here.
