We recognise the significant impact AI can have on our users and society, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our AI Products are designed and operated in a manner that aligns with comprehensive ethical standards. We aim to use AI to enhance user experiences while upholding fairness, transparency, and accountability principles.
This Policy applies to all AI-powered features, services, and systems in our Services. It governs the development, deployment, and use of AI technologies to protect users' rights and maintain transparency in all AI operations. This Policy applies to all stakeholders, including employees, third-party vendors, and partners who contribute to or interact with our AI Products.
Enforcement
Any misuse of our AI Products or failure to adhere to the standards outlined in this Policy will result in appropriate actions to ensure the integrity of our platform and the protection of our users. The specific consequences for misuse of AI may vary depending on the nature and severity of the violation and the user's history with our Services.
Violations may include, but are not limited to:

- Deploying AI in a manner that introduces or causes bias, leading to unfair treatment of users or groups.
- Improper handling, storage, or use of data by AI Products, leading to breaches of user trust and legal compliance.

Depending on the violation, Threatwhere Limited may take one or more of the following actions:

- Legal Action: In cases where the misuse of AI leads to significant harm, data breaches, or legal violations, we may pursue legal action against the party responsible. This could include reporting the incident to law enforcement or regulatory bodies.
- Public Disclosure: For incidents that impact public trust or involve severe ethical breaches, we reserve the right to publicly disclose the violation and the actions taken in response to maintain transparency and accountability.
Commitment to Responsible AI
In addition to the consequences outlined above, we are deeply committed to repairing any harm caused by the misuse of AI. This commitment is a testament to our dedication to our users and our responsibility as a company. We will correct biased outcomes and implement additional safeguards to prevent future violations.

As technology evolves and regulatory environments shift, we recognise the importance of keeping our policies up to date to ensure that they remain relevant, effective, and aligned with best practices in AI ethics. We will regularly review and update our Policy to reflect technological advancements and legal changes in local, national, and international regulations related to AI. Our Policy will be updated as needed to comply with new laws and guidelines, ensuring that our practices remain legally sound and socially responsible.
Consequences of Breaching This Policy
The consequences for violating our Policy will vary depending on the severity of the breach and the user's history on the Services, by way of example:
We may, in some cases, give you a warning, however, if your breach is serious or if you continue to breach our Legal Terms and this Policy, we have the right to suspend or terminate your access to and use of our Services and, if applicable, disable your account.
