4.2. Recording as a condition of certain Sessions. If you are invited to a live Session/call, recording (audio/video/screen/chat) may be required as a condition of participation for internal quality assurance, supervision, safety, dispute resolution, and compliance.
If you do not consent to recording, the Provider may (at its discretion) offer an alternative asynchronous format or decline to conduct the Session.
4.3. Internal purposes (including team quality evaluation). You explicitly consent that recordings and Derived Data may be used internally for: quality assurance, supervision, training and onboarding of team members, performance evaluation of service delivery, dispute resolution, security, fraud prevention, safety, compliance, and improvement of the Simulation Services and AI Systems.
4.4. AI processing. The Provider may use AI Systems and other automated tools to process Client Data and Session Data for purposes including: quality assurance, safety, compliance, fraud prevention, supervision, training and onboarding, improvement of methodology, product improvement, research and statistics, personalisation, and performance evaluation of internal delivery.
4.5. Consent to profiling & Scoring. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you explicitly consent that the Provider may create performance-related, behavioural and psychological profiles including assessments and benchmarking indicators based on Client Data and Session Data (including voice patterns and quality indicators) and may calculate metrics automatically.
4.6. Human review / No solely automated materially adverse decisions. Automated outputs are used primarily for personalisation and internal QA. Any materially adverse decision that significantly affects you (e.g., refusal to proceed due to suspected fraud/compliance risk) shall not be based solely on automated processing where applicable law requires human review; reasonable requests for clarification may be reviewed by a human to the extent required by law.
