Trade Nest – AI Usage Disclosure & Ethics Policy 1. Introduction This AI Usage and Ethics Policy outlines how The Trade Nest LTD ("Trade Nest") uses artificial intelligence (AI) features within its web-based application, services, and integrations. This policy ensures responsible, fair, and transparent use of AI in alignment with our values and applicable regulations. 2. Purpose of AI Integration Trade Nest uses AI-powered tools to enhance user experience, including but not limited to content generation, predictive insights, automation of repetitive tasks, user analytics, and intelligent suggestions for social media and business operations. These features are intended to support—not replace—human decision-making. 3. Human Oversight and User Autonomy AI features are designed to operate under human oversight. Users remain fully in control of final decisions and are never subject to legally binding or irreversible outcomes made solely by automated processes. Where applicable, users can review and modify AI-generated outputs. 4. Protection Against Bias Trade Nest evaluates its AI-enabled services for potential bias and aims to use third-party models (such as OpenAI or Vendasta-integrated tools) that align with ethical development standards. No AI system is used to make decisions based on race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics. 5. Opt-Out Options Users who prefer not to use AI features may opt out by disabling relevant settings where available or by contacting support@thetradenest.co.uk. In doing so, users may limit certain functionality such as content generation or automation enhancements. 6. Data Usage and Privacy Any data processed through AI tools is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Trade Nest does not sell or repurpose personal data for model training unless explicitly stated. AI usage is implemented within secure, privacy-compliant frameworks. 7. Transparency and Accountability All AI-powered features are disclosed transparently in documentation or interface labels. Trade Nest regularly reviews AI-driven services and welcomes feedback or complaints via support@thetradenest.co.uk. 8. Third-Party AI Providers Trade Nest’s AI functionality may involve third-party providers such as Vendasta, OpenAI, or other integrated platforms. These tools are bound by their own compliance and privacy standards, and are reviewed for compatibility with our ethical commitments. 9. Contact For questions or concerns regarding AI usage, please contact David Johnson at support@thetradenest.co.uk. Effective Date This Policy is effective as of 08/06/2025.
