At Enovos, we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a responsible, transparent and controlled manner, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), and our internal AI governance framework.
AI is used to support and enhance our services, for example by improving customer experience, assisting in the handling of requests, or providing analytical insights. The use of AI is always aligned with the original purpose of the services and limited to what is necessary.
At Enovos, the use of AI is governed by the following principles:

AI is not used to extend or repurpose the use of personal data beyond its original context. The interactions you may have with our agents are not stored, exploited or used to train the underlying AI models or algorithm.
- Transparency: We ensure that the use of AI is appropriately communicated where it affects customers, users, or other individuals. Information is provided in a clear and understandable manner, proportionate to the context and impact of the AI system.
- No profiling & Automated Decision-Making: AI is not designed to perform profiling or used to make automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without human involvement.
- Fairness & Non-Discrimination: AI systems are designed on the basis of objective criteria and are monitored to minimise bias and avoid unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
- Security & Confidentiality: Appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to ensure the protection of personal data processed in AI-supported processes.
