Some of the services mentioned transfer or process data in countries outside the EU (specifically the USA, the United Arab Emirates).

13. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
13.1 AI demonstration on this website
We present an AI assistant (“Ask Your Data”) as a demonstration of our services. It translates questions about business data into database queries (SQL) and shows the answer together with the query used. The demonstration uses exclusively fictitious sample data (no real customer, personal or company data). The case study page describes the assistant, its architecture and its test results; it does not process any personal data of visitors by means of AI.
13.2 Information under the EU AI Act
Where an AI system on our website interacts directly with you (for example, a chat function), we will inform you clearly at the start of the interaction that you are communicating with an AI system (Art. 50 para. 1 Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). AI-generated answers can be incomplete or incorrect and do not replace professional advice.
13.3 Our own use of AI
We use AI tools to support the preparation of individual texts and presentations. We review the content before publication. We do not use AI for decisions that have legal effect on you or similarly significantly affect you (Art. 22 GDPR).
