5. Use of Automated Tools and AI in Verification
We use automated tools, including AI, to help assess whether users are eligible for closed consumer group offers, based on the information and documentation they provide. This includes checks designed to detect fraudulent, invalid, or AI-generated submissions.
We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing.
We may also use image-based verification tools in the future to help detect fake or tampered ID documents. These tools may process facial imagery or features that could be considered biometric data under data protection law. Where this applies, we put additional safeguards in place, including legal justification, human review, and internal governance. You can learn more in our Privacy Notice.
