ESG statement and methodology

Preamble, nature and effect of this document

Nil Tech Europe S.r.l., with registered office at Via Calmaggiore 5, 31100 Treviso (TV), Italia, VAT No. IT 05614380268 (“Niltech”), adopts this document in order to define a prudent environmental, social and governance metric methodology based only on traceable approved data.

This document is a corporate transparency and accountability record. It is not a third-party certification, legal opinion addressed to persons other than the company, absolute security warranty or blanket compliance statement; contractual commitments arise solely from the applicable agreements.

This statement applies traceability, neutrality and prudence. No environmental, social or governance metric is published as a product outcome without a documented boundary, source, methodology, unit, period and verification.

Personal and material scope

The objective scope includes ClaimEvidence, its public interfaces and processing strictly connected with the described functions. The corporate website and document library are published on claimevidence.tech; the application service is available through the separate app.claimevidence.tech domain. Hostinger provides infrastructure and, according to the applicable configuration, mail transport. MySQL/MariaDB is software running in the controlled environment and not a separate subprocessor unless a distinct managed service is used. OpenAI provides API services only for enabled functions; any separate email provider must be identified and assessed before use.

The relevant operations concern guided photo and document collection, case organisation, completeness checks, configurable analytical support, human review and export. Potential information categories are: demo and security-pack requests on the site; in the application, case identifiers, authorised contacts, photographs, documents, notes, session metadata and assisted outputs. The actual privacy role, lawful basis and extent of processing depend on the contractual relationship and the lawful instructions of the party determining purposes and essential means.

Definitions and interpretation

• “Service” means the ClaimEvidence functions made available under the agreement.
• “Customer” means the legal person or professional entering into the agreement with Niltech.

2. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall prefer primary sources and retain extracts and transformations. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

3. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall separate measured, calculated, estimated and unavailable data. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

4. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall document formula, assumptions, uncertainty and exclusions. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

5. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall subject results to consistency checks and approval. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

6. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall prohibit causal or comparative claims without a verified baseline. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

Principles

Niltech considers environmental, social and governance impacts across the product lifecycle. No quantitative metric is published without boundary, source, period, method, assumptions, owner and verification.

Environmental

Work areas include infrastructure and AI consumption, transfers and storage, data lifetime, devices and avoided travel only where measurable. Provider-stated capabilities are not automatically attributed to the product.

Social and governance

Accessibility, data protection, human oversight, non-discrimination, security, skills, supplier management and reporting channels are relevant.

Method and evidence

The controlled register stores approved indicators, sources, formulas, quality, frequency and results. Where data is unavailable, status is “not measured”, without estimates presented as facts.

Scope, audience and status of this document

This document is intended for customers, prospects, authorised users, advisers and control functions needing to understand the ClaimEvidence scope. Its specific objective is to define a prudent environmental, social and governance metric methodology based only on traceable approved data. It applies to the stated document revision and date and must be read with the applicable agreement, order, DPA, technical specifications and controlled procedures.

The corporate website and document library are published on claimevidence.tech; the application service is available through the separate app.claimevidence.tech domain. Hostinger provides infrastructure and, according to the applicable configuration, mail transport. MySQL/MariaDB is software running in the controlled environment and not a separate subprocessor unless a distinct managed service is used. OpenAI provides API services only for enabled functions; any separate email provider must be identified and assessed before use.

Executed agreements and actually approved configurations prevail in case of inconsistency. Public information describes the control programme; it does not turn optional provider capabilities into Niltech controls or automatically attest legal applicability or satisfaction.

Exceptions, non-conformity and escalation

A deviation is not accepted by custom. The owner records the affected requirement, cause, impact, exposed data and persons, compensating measures, approver, expiry and closure criterion. The exception is reviewed if risk changes or a measure does not work as expected.

Incidents, possible unlawful processing, loss of data control, outputs with severe impact, contractual breaches, unapproved suppliers or unreliable evidence must be escalated without delay. Current Legal and functional scope: Payment services are outside the scope described by this documentation.

• contain risk and suspend the affected phase where needed
• preserve evidence, timing, decisions and communications
• involve privacy, security, product, legal or management owners as appropriate
• resume only after measure verification and documented authorisation

Review, change and improvement

The document is reviewed at least every six months and earlier when purpose, audience, data, GDPR or AI Act role, supplier, model, architecture, location, contractual terms or legal requirements change. Incidents, complaints, failed tests and new vulnerabilities trigger an extraordinary review.

Each review records inputs, participants, decision, changes, superseded evidence, remaining gaps and next date. Material corrections are published without retroactively altering the prior document revision. Contact and requests: info@nil-tech.net.

• check change register and related documents
• retest affected controls
• update manifest, PDF, HTML and hashes
• notify recipients where the change affects their rights or duties

Nature of statements and anti-greenwashing

This statement does not assert that Niltech or the product is subject to CSRD duties or compliant with a reporting standard without prior scope assessment. Any ESRS reference is methodological and does not transform internal data into assured reporting.

No CO₂, energy, paper, time or other savings are published without documented boundary, period, unit, source, formula, baseline, factors, quality and approval. Missing data are disclosed; estimates and supplier data are distinguished from own measurements.

Metric method and governance

• stable definition, organisational and operational boundary, period and unit
• primary source, reproducible transformations, assumptions, exclusions and uncertainty
• owner, reviewer independent from calculation where proportionate, approval and audit trail
• comparability, correction of material errors and prohibition of selective presentation

Allocation of responsibility and reliance limitations

Within its sphere of responsibility, the Customer warrants the lawfulness of submitted data and instructions, user authorisation, suitable lawful bases and notices, and professional verification of outputs. Niltech remains responsible for activities directly under its control and does not assume the Customer’s regulatory, professional or decision-making functions.

Outputs from ClaimEvidence are auxiliary. Unless expressly agreed and subject to mandatory law, they are not legal advice, an expert determination, insurance decision, liability finding, credit assessment or other reserved professional act. The recipient must examine sources, completeness, consistency and consequences before use.

Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Outside those cases, attribution, remedies, limitations and quantification principles follow the applicable agreement, taking account of contributory conduct, mitigation duties and foreseeability under the governing law.

Evidence, review, requests and governing law

Every material assertion must be traceable to a contract, approved configuration, register, minutes, test, log or other reliable evidence. Supplier statements and Niltech controls are kept distinct. Absence of incidents is not, by itself, proof that a measure is effective.

Revisions are dated, reasoned and approved. A later revision does not retroactively alter facts or commitments applicable to earlier periods. Published copies are identified by code, date and cryptographic digest; those elements evidence copy integrity, not the substantive effectiveness of described controls.

Reports, clarification requests, rights requests and complaints may be sent to info@nil-tech.net. Niltech verifies identity and authority where necessary, records the request, responds within applicable periods and communicates any reasoned extension or refusal.

Unless mandatory law or a written agreement provides otherwise, Italian law governs interpretation. The Italian text is controlling; the English translation is provided for convenience.
