Responsible AI

AI you can
actually trust

AI helps Settio make international onboarding faster — drafting messages, summarising documents, guiding hires through Sweden specifics. But onboarding decisions matter for real people’s right to live and work somewhere. This policy explains exactly how we use AI, what we don’t do, and how we keep humans in control.

Effective:18 April 2026Last updated:18 April 2026

1. Our AI principles

  • Privacy first. Customer Data is never used to train third-party foundation models.
  • Human in the loop. AI proposes — people decide. We don’t make fully automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
  • Transparency. Users see when content is AI-generated and can review the source.
  • Minimisation. We only send the data the model actually needs to produce a useful answer.
  • Customer control. Admins can disable AI features for their workspace.

2. Where we use AI today

  • Onboarding guidance — answering common questions about Sweden-specific steps (Migrationsverket, Skatteverket, BankID, housing, etc.).
  • Document summarisation — short summaries of permit decisions, contracts, or letters uploaded by HR or the hire.
  • Drafting — first-draft of emails, checklists, and reminders that HR can edit before sending.
  • Translation — translating onboarding messages and instructions between supported languages.
  • Search & retrieval — semantic search over a customer’s own workspace content (never across customers).

We do not use AI for: scoring or ranking candidates, eligibility decisions, immigration outcomes, or any decision that legally binds a person without explicit human review.

3. How AI handles your data

  • No training on Customer Data, prompts, or outputs by Settio or our AI providers.
  • Zero retention at the model provider beyond what is required for abuse prevention (typically 0–30 days), under enterprise contracts.
  • EU-hosted inference where available; otherwise we use providers under SCCs with technical safeguards (encryption in transit, scoped access, audited).
  • Minimisation: we strip unnecessary identifiers from prompts; redact obvious PII fields when not required for the task.
  • Logging of AI calls is metadata-only by default; full prompts/outputs are only kept when needed for debugging, with retention limits and access controls.

4. Model providers

Settio uses enterprise-grade AI providers chosen for their security posture, EU presence, and contractual no-training and zero-retention terms. The current list of AI subprocessors is published at /subprocessors. Any change is notified at least 30 days in advance.

5. Human oversight

  • AI suggestions are surfaced as drafts, summaries, or proposed actions — never as final decisions.
  • Sensitive workflows (e.g. permit-related communications) require explicit confirmation from an HR user before sending.
  • Hires can always escalate from an AI answer to a human contact on their HR team.

6. Known limits and risks

AI can be wrong, biased, or out of date. We mitigate this by grounding responses in verified Sweden-specific sources where possible, displaying source links when we have them, and clearly marking AI-generated content. Even so:

  • Treat AI output as a draft, not legal, immigration, or tax advice.
  • Always have a human review AI-generated communications before they are sent to a hire.
  • Report incorrect or harmful output to [email protected].

7. EU AI Act alignment

Our AI features are designed with the EU AI Act’s risk classification in mind. Settio does not deploy prohibited AI practices and does not use AI as a stand-alone decision system in high-risk areas such as employment outcomes. For features that could touch employment workflows, we apply additional safeguards:

  • clear documentation of AI capabilities and limitations;
  • human-in-the-loop by design, with audit trails;
  • transparency notices so users know when they interact with AI;
  • ongoing risk assessment and a process for handling user reports.

8. Customer controls

  • Workspace toggle: admins can turn AI features on or off for their workspace.
  • Per-feature opt-out: granular control over specific AI features (e.g. AI drafts, AI search).
  • Audit log: every AI-assisted action is recorded with the human user who triggered it.
  • Data residency: customers can request EU-hosted inference for all AI features (default where available).

9. Reporting AI concerns

See something off?

Email [email protected] if an AI feature produced something incorrect, biased, unsafe, or that you believe shouldn’t have happened. We investigate every report and follow up.
