AI Transparency Report

How Governly uses AI inside the product.

This report explains where AI appears in Governly, which providers we rely on, what data they see, and how we keep humans in charge. It describes Governly’s own AI usage – separate from the policies and governance configurations you create for your clients.

Last updated: November 2025
Applies to: Governly web app, website, and limited support workflows
AI used for drafting & analysis, not final decisions
Human review required before client-facing use
No card numbers or passwords sent to models
1. Scope & principles

Where AI shows up in Governly.

Governly helps solo consultants, agencies, and small teams generate AI governance policies, track AI usage, and publish transparency pages. This section explains where AI is used inside Governly itself and the principles that guide those features.

Covered systems

As of November 2025, our AI usage applies to:

  • Policy generator features that draft AI ethics & usage policies.
  • Optional explainability text and summaries for AI-related workflows.
  • Internal tooling to improve help content and product copy.

What AI is not used for

Governly does not currently use AI for:

  • Automated credit scoring, lending, or eligibility decisions.
  • Fully automated hiring, firing, or performance evaluations.
  • Biometric identification, facial recognition, or real-time surveillance.

Guiding principles

When we add or change AI features in Governly, we aim to:

  • Keep humans accountable for final decisions and client-facing outputs.
  • Minimize the amount of personal or sensitive data sent to AI providers.
  • Clearly indicate that generated content is a starting point, not legal advice.
2. Tools, models & providers

Which AI services we rely on.

Governly uses third-party AI providers to power text-based features such as policy drafting and plain-language explanations. We do not train large models from scratch. This section lists the main services and the types of data they may process.

Primary provider: general-purpose language models

Governly currently relies on providers such as OpenAI (e.g., GPT-5.1 / GPT-5-mini family) to generate governance policies, summaries, and explanatory text based on the information you provide in forms (business type, industry, and how you use AI).

  • Input: text you enter in Governly (prompts, descriptions, policy context).
  • Output: policy drafts, summaries, recommendations, and explanations.
  • No direct access to payment card numbers or passwords.
  • Where available, we configure provider settings so your data is not used to train public models.

Supporting AI-related tooling

We may also use narrower AI or analytics tools to improve the quality and reliability of Governly:

  • Search & retrieval. Matching your inputs to relevant policy components or help content, often using vector search or RAG-style patterns.
  • Usage analytics. Aggregated usage data to understand feature performance and identify potential misuse—without routinely inspecting individual prompts.

If we add new AI providers in the future, we will update this section to describe their role, data access, and configuration.

3. Data handling & privacy

What data AI sees — and what it doesn’t.

We design Governly so that AI features receive only the information they need to perform their task. We encourage customers to avoid sharing unnecessary personal or highly sensitive data in free-text fields.

AI features in Governly are centered around policies, workflows, and governance descriptions—not raw customer datasets. Wherever feasible, we keep sensitive details in your core systems and only send high-level descriptions or redacted text to AI models.

Example: Rather than pasting full client records, you might describe them as “UK-based SME clients in healthcare and education.”

Typical data sent to AI services

Text you provide in the app about your business, AI usage, and policy needs (e.g., “solo coach using AI for content drafts”), plus configuration choices such as policy types and risk posture.

Typically not sent

Payment card details, passwords, authentication tokens, full government ID numbers, or unrelated personal data that is not needed for generating policies or explanations.

4. Human oversight & limitations

AI assists — humans remain responsible.

AI-generated policies and explanations in Governly are intended as drafts. They can be wrong, incomplete, or not fully aligned with your jurisdiction. A responsible human remains in control of how these outputs are applied.

1

Human-in-the-loop by design

Governly does not automatically publish policies to your clients or systems. You are expected to review, edit, and approve all AI-generated content before using it in contracts, public websites, or client-facing materials.

2

Known limitations

AI models may hallucinate facts, misinterpret context, or reflect biases present in their training data. Outputs from Governly are not legal advice and should not replace consultation with qualified legal or compliance professionals.

3

Feedback & issue reporting

If you encounter harmful, biased, or clearly incorrect AI-generated content in Governly, you can report it via support@governly.pro. This helps us refine prompts, safeguards, and product design over time.

5. Your choices & controls

How you can manage AI usage with Governly.

Our goal is to make AI usage both transparent and controllable. These are some of the options and practices we support for customers using Governly.

Review & edit outputs

You can edit or regenerate policy drafts and explanations before they are used anywhere externally. We recommend saving final, approved versions in your own documentation systems.

Export / deletion requests

You may request export or deletion of AI-related logs associated with your account, subject to technical and legal retention requirements. Contact support@governly.pro for assistance.
