Article 3 (Use of AI Systems and Transparency)

Our platform utilizes AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms to generate materials and matching candidates.

We adhere to the following principles in using AI systems:

• Transparency: When materials or matching recommendations are generated by AI, this will be clearly indicated. AI-generated outputs are provided as suggestions only, and final decisions shall be made by users.

• Human Oversight: Users must review and verify AI-generated materials and matching results before use. We do not provide transaction recommendations based solely on AI.

• Continuous Monitoring: We regularly monitor AI accuracy, fairness, and bias, and conduct risk assessments and improvements as necessary.

• Data Quality: We periodically verify the quality and representativeness of data used for AI operation and training, and strive to reduce bias in system outputs.

We implement necessary and appropriate measures to prevent risks such as leakage, loss, or alteration of personal information:

• Organizational Measures: Designation of a person responsible for personal data handling and implementation of internal audits

• Physical Measures: Encryption and theft prevention measures for devices and electronic media

• Technical Measures: Access control and protection against unauthorized access

In the event of a significant data breach, we will promptly report to the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) (generally within 3–5 days), followed by a detailed report within 30 days (or within 60 days in the case of malicious cyberattacks). We will also notify affected individuals as appropriate.

When outsourcing operations, we require contractors to implement appropriate security measures and impose confidentiality obligations through contracts, while maintaining proper supervision.

If personal information is jointly used with affiliated companies, we will publicly disclose the scope, purpose, and responsible party in advance.
