Artificial Intelligence (AI) TERMS

AI Terms of Use – Ethicsline® Case Management and Web Reporting Site

These AI Terms of Use ("AI Terms") govern the deployment and use of artificial intelligence capabilities, machine learning models, and automated processing tools (collectively, the "AI Case Assistants") within the Ethicsline® case management platform and its associated whistleblower web reporting site.

By enabling, configuring, deploying, or utilizing the AI Case Assistants, you, on behalf of your organization ("you", "your", "Subscriber"), understand and agree to be bound by these AI Terms. The AI Case Assistants are provided by Mitrisk Consulting LLP (referred to as "we", "us", "our", or "the LLP").

1. Administrative Control & Multi-Admin Tenant Binding

The AI Case Assistants are strictly optional features.

• Tenant-Wide Scope: Enabling or disabling an AI feature alters the processing pipeline globally across your organization's tenant profile, simultaneously affecting both the backend case management interface and the external web reporting site.
• Organizational Binding: Acceptance of these terms by any single authorized administrator legally binds the Subscriber's organization as a single corporate entity. Subsequent deactivation or a separate admin's rejection of terms does not retroactively void the legal framework applied to case materials processed while the feature was active.

2. Absolute Anonymity & Data Isolation Guardrails

Because of the highly sensitive nature of whistleblower disclosures submitted via the web reporting site, Mitrisk Consulting LLP enforces strict technical data privacy boundaries within Ethicsline®:

• Zero Model Training: Neither the LLP nor any sub-processors/third-party AI infrastructure providers will utilize input case data, reporter narratives submitted on the web reporting site, metadata, or generated summaries to train, fine-tune, or benchmark public, private, or shared language models.
• Transient Processing: Data sent to AI pipelines for analysis, translation, risk-scoring, or automated PII (Personally Identifiable Information) redaction is processed transitionally and deleted from processing queues immediately upon completion of the inference task.
• PII Scrubbing: If enabled, automated text scrubbing tools will attempt to strip names, locations, and identifying metadata prior to routing data to generative summarization layers. However, Subscriber acknowledges that AI cannot guarantee 100% accurate redaction of novel or uniquely contextual identifying details submitted through the web reporting site that could lead to accidental de-anonymization.

3. Experimental Technology & Inherent Material Limits

You acknowledge that AI Case Assistants leverage probabilistic machine learning models that may produce unexpected, incomplete, hallucinated, or inaccurate results.

• No Factual Guarantee: Summaries, translation matrices, categorized risk vectors, or automatically tagged regulatory infractions ("AI Output") generated within the Ethicsline® case management platform or web reporting site are not guaranteed to be correct or legally definitive.
• Context Blindness: AI models process semantic text patterns and lack real-world corporate context, human intuition, or investigative subtext.

4. Permitted Use & High-Stakes Restrictions

Unlike standard enterprise SaaS applications, AI processing within a whistleblower system is legally sensitive. You agree to adhere to the following usage bounds:

• Human-in-the-Loop Mandate: AI Case Assistants are provided solely for assistive administrative triage (e.g., translation of incoming reports on the web reporting site, text summarization, structural formatting, or preliminary risk categorization). No AI Output may be used as the sole basis for formal corporate disciplinary action, termination of employment, legal filings, or the dismissal of a whistleblower report without explicit human investigation and validation.
• High-Risk Exclusions: You shall not utilize Ethicsline® AI features to automatically generate public-facing disclosures, send unreviewed communications to regulatory bodies, or generate automated retaliatory or punitive workflow triggers against any user profile or whistleblower account.

5. Lawful Basis for AI Processing

In alignment with your compliance obligations under the Master Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges that processing third-party personal data within the Ethicsline® case management system and web reporting site AI Case Assistants is justified under applicable legal exemptions (such as legitimate interests, public interest, or statutory reporting duties under the GDPR, CCPA, or DPDPA). The Subscriber assumes sole responsibility for ensuring that routing automated case text through the system's AI pipeline aligns with their internal corporate policies and local employment laws.

6. Intellectual Property

Mitrisk Consulting LLP claims no ownership, copyright, or intellectual property rights over any AI Output generated from your client data. You retain exclusive rights to case files and summaries, subject to your responsibility to ensure such outputs do not infringe upon any third-party rights or violate statutory confidentiality.

7. Limitation of Liability

Mitrisk Consulting LLP makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, secure redaction, or legal compliance of the ai output within the Ethicsline® case management platform or web reporting site. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall the llp, its partners, or employees be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages—including fines imposed by global regulatory bodies (such as the dpbi, eu data protection authorities, or ftc)—arising out of or in connection with:

• The unintended exposure of a reporter's identity due to ai contextual logic analysis or hallucination of data submitted on the web reporting site;
• Reputational harm or regulatory fines resulting from defective triage;
• Loss of investigative integrity or data context; or
• Claims of retaliation arising out of ai-generated sentiment analysis or risk recommendations.

The subscriber exercises independent judgment and assumes all operational and jurisdictional compliance risk associated with integrating ai into their disclosure workflows.
