1. Scope of Data Collection
AIC collects data necessary for the execution of conformity assessments and personnel certification. This includes organisational governance documents, bias audit metadata, and professional competency evidence required for POPIA Section 71 compliance verification.
Transparency
We clearly disclose what data is required for certification and how it is utilized within our automated triage systems.
Security
All audit evidence is stored in encrypted vaults with strict role-based access control (RBAC) enforced via institutional credentials.
2. Institutional Data Handling
Audit evidence provided through the Corporate Portal is processed via isolated agents. AIC does not utilize client audit data to train generalized AI models. All data handling is compliant with POPIA (South Africa) and the AIC Declaration of Algorithmic Rights.
3. Data Retention
Records are maintained for the duration of the certification cycle plus an additional period for regulatory compliance auditing, unless requested otherwise by the client organisation or required by South African law.
