πͺπΊ EU Policy: Subtext Decoder Disabled
Subtext Decoder is disabled for EU jurisdiction. This feature may be restricted under the EU AI Act in workplace settings.
βοΈ Legal Consideration β Read Before Enabling
The Subtext Decoder infers emotional states and psychological motivations from an employee's language. This may constitute psychological profiling of personal data, which carries compliance obligations in several jurisdictions:
π¦πΊ Australia (Privacy Act 1988): Emotional/psychological inferences may qualify as sensitive health information. Employees should be informed at the time of the exit interview that their responses may be subject to AI-assisted emotional analysis.
π¬π§ UK / πͺπΊ EU (GDPR / UK GDPR): Psychological profiling of individuals is subject to Art. 9 (special category data) and Art. 22 (automated processing) safeguards. Ensure a lawful basis exists and that employees are notified in your privacy notice.
πΊπΈ US: Generally permissible but consider state-level biometric/AI laws (e.g., Illinois BIPA, California CPRA). Ensure findings are not used in a way that creates disparate impact on protected classes.
Safe use in all jurisdictions: This feature is lawful when used purely for organisational learning (not to make any decisions about the departing employee), findings are not stored against the individual's record, and employees are informed in writing that exit interview data may be AI-analysed.
