PART 5: Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
This Data Processing Agreement governs processing under GDPR.
5.1 Roles
- User: Data Controller
- Business Reform: Data Processor
5.2 Scope of Processing
The Processor shall process personal and financial data solely for:
- AI CFO analysis
- Financial modeling and reporting
- Dashboard generation
- System optimization and service delivery
No processing occurs outside the documented scope without explicit instruction.
5.3 Confidentiality
All User Data is treated as strictly confidential. Access is limited to authorized personnel and secure systems under confidentiality obligations.
5.4 Sub-processors
The Company may engage third-party infrastructure providers or AI model providers to deliver Services. All sub-processors are required to:
- Maintain GDPR-compliant safeguards
- Implement industry-standard security controls
- Process data only under contractual instructions
5.5 Data Subject Rights

- Right to erasure
- Right to restriction
- Right to data portability
- Right to objection
Requests will be addressed within legally required timeframes.

- Inform affected Users without undue delay

PART 6: EU Artificial Intelligence Act Compliance
Business Reform designs and operates the Service in line with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (the "EU AI Act"), as its obligations become applicable, alongside the GDPR and the other laws referred to in these Terms.
6.1 Role of the Company and AI Systems Used
The AI CFO is an AI system operated by Business Reform under its own name. It is built on general-purpose AI models supplied by third-party AI model providers (see Section 5.4), which are subject to their own obligations as providers of general-purpose AI models under Chapter V of the EU AI Act. Business Reform acts as the provider of the AI CFO system as offered to Users and as a deployer of the underlying models.
6.2 Risk Classification and Intended Purpose
The intended purpose of the AI CFO is to transform business financial and operational data into financial analysis, reports, KPI dashboards and projections for companies. The Service:
- Does not engage in any prohibited AI practice under Article 5 of the EU AI Act
- Is not intended for any high-risk use listed in Annex III of the EU AI Act, including evaluating the creditworthiness of natural persons or establishing their credit score, risk assessment and pricing for life or health insurance, or decisions on employment, recruitment or access to essential services
- Is therefore treated as an AI system subject to the transparency obligations of Article 50 of the EU AI Act
Users must not use the Service or its AI Outputs for a high-risk purpose listed in Annex III, or for any purpose prohibited by Article 5. A User who does so acts outside the intended purpose of the Service and assumes the corresponding obligations under the EU AI Act.
6.3 Transparency and Marking of AI-Generated Content
In accordance with Article 50 of the EU AI Act:
- Users are informed, before and during use, that they are interacting with an AI system, including when using the chat assistant
- Every Report generated by the Service carries a visible "AI generated" mark with a reference to the EU AI Act: at the bottom left of every slide in PowerPoint presentations, and on the cover sheet and at the bottom left of every printed page in Excel workbooks
- Generated files also carry a machine-readable statement in their document metadata identifying the content as AI-generated
Users must not remove, conceal or alter the AI-generated marking when sharing Reports with third parties. Where a User publishes AI Outputs to inform the public on matters of public interest, the User is responsible for any disclosure required of it under Article 50(4), unless the content has undergone human review or editorial control and a person holds editorial responsibility for its publication.
6.4 Human Oversight
The Service is a decision-support tool. AI Outputs are designed to be reviewed by the User and, where appropriate, by qualified professionals before they are relied upon (see Part 4). No decision producing legal effects on, or similarly significantly affecting, a natural person is taken by the Service solely through automated processing. Users may request review of a Report by a member of the Business Reform team.
6.5 Accuracy, Traceability and Record-Keeping
To support accuracy and accountability, the Service:
- Computes key figures with deterministic calculations and presents them as live Excel formulas linked to the underlying data, so they can be checked
- States the data caveats, excluded items, classification rationale and limitations of each Report in a dedicated assumptions section
- Keeps records of each Report request and its outputs, for the period set out in Section 2.5
These measures reduce but do not eliminate the risk of errors. The disclaimers in Part 4 continue to apply.
6.6 AI Literacy
In line with Article 4 of the EU AI Act, Business Reform takes measures to ensure that its staff and anyone operating the Service on its behalf have a sufficient level of AI literacy, taking into account their technical knowledge, experience and the context in which the Service is used.
6.7 Reporting Concerns and Updates
Users may report incorrect, misleading or otherwise problematic AI Outputs, or any concern about the Service's compliance with the EU AI Act, through the contact details on the Platform. The Company will review such reports and take corrective action where necessary. Users also retain the right to lodge a complaint with the competent national market surveillance authority.
The Company will update this Part as further provisions of the EU AI Act become applicable and as guidelines, implementing acts and codes of practice are published by the European Commission and the AI Office.
