12. Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

13. AI and Automated Decision-Making

Opt-in to AI features: SCORE users opt in to AI-assisted features. We process data for AI only when you have agreed to use those features.

AI processing (Mistral AI): We use Mistral AI to extract text and structured data from survey reports for quality checking and field validation. This processing:

• Does not involve automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects
• Is limited to technical analysis and data extraction
• Operates under survey company instructions (they are responsible for informing their clients)
• Is not retained or used for training by the third party: Mistral AI does not retain your data or use it to train their models; processing is performed under our data processing agreement with no retention or training use by them

AI-assisted QC and algorithmic scoring: We use AI for quality-control (QC) scoring of survey content. This is transparent: each QC check is explained so surveyors can review and act on it. It is AI-assisted QC to help surveyors do their job, not profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Optional AI QC improvements: Companies can opt in to allow us to use data to improve AI quality-control (QC) features. Where this option is enabled, we may use limited data for that purpose. Training data retention for AI QC improvements is limited and is handled in line with this policy and our data retention schedules.

No profiling: We do not use your personal information for profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

14. Right to Complain to the ICO

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately:
