AI Policy
Updated Date: December 20, 2025
Scope and Application
This AI Policy governs the use of artificial intelligence features within BharatXcelerate's platforms and applies to all users of our services. AI features are entirely optional and are only activated when users explicitly initiate them through their own actions.
AI Feature Implementation
User-Initiated Access: All AI functionalities require explicit user activation and consent. Users must acknowledge our AI terms before accessing any AI-powered features.
Optional Nature: AI features are not enabled by default and can be disabled at any time by users or administrators.
Human Oversight: AI features are designed to assist and augment human decision-making, not replace it. Users maintain full control and responsibility for all outputs and decisions.
Data Usage and Training
No Training on Customer Data: BharatXcelerate does not use customer data, content, or usage information to train our AI models or any third-party AI systems.
Data Isolation: Customer data processed by AI features remains within BharatXcelerate's secure infrastructure and never leaves our trust boundary.
Third-Party Models: When utilizing third-party AI services, we ensure that customer data is not retained or used for training purposes by these providers.
Accuracy and Reliability Disclaimers
No Warranties: AI-generated content and suggestions are provided "AS IS" without warranties of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose.
User Verification Required: Users are responsible for reviewing, validating, and approving all AI-generated outputs before implementation.
Limitation of Reliability: AI outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors, and should not be relied upon as the sole source of truth for business decisions.
Security and Compliance
SOC 2 Alignment: Our AI features are implemented within our existing SOC 2 Type II compliance framework, maintaining the same security, availability, and confidentiality standards.
Access Controls: AI feature access is governed by existing user authentication and authorization systems.
Data Protection: All AI processing adheres to our established data protection, privacy, and security protocols.
Prohibited Uses
Users may not use AI features for:
Illegal activities or content generation
Creating misleading, harmful, or inappropriate content
Decisions with significant legal or regulatory implications without human review
Bypassing existing security or compliance controls
Limitation of Liability
BharatXcelerate disclaims all liability for damages arising from AI feature usage, including but not limited to inaccurate outputs, business decisions based on AI recommendations, or any consequential damages. Users acknowledge that AI features are experimental tools requiring human judgment.
Updates and Modifications
This policy may be updated as AI technology and regulatory requirements evolve. Users will be notified of material changes through normal communication channels.
