AI Usage & Transparency Policy — 8055 Stays

Operated by HASU AURORA PRIVATE LIMITED

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated: 18 August 2026

1. Purpose

This Policy explains, transparently, how HASU AURORA PRIVATE LIMITED does and does not use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the 8055 Stays Platform, the principles we follow, and the rules for users who interact with any AI-assisted features.

2. Current status: no AI processing of your personal data

• Listing and content moderation is performed by trained people, not automated classifiers. Moderation decisions are recorded with an audit trail.
• Search, discovery, and pricing are rule-based and deterministic (including geospatial queries), not AI-driven.
• Messaging automation, where offered, is template- and rule-based (you or a Host configure triggers and saved replies) — it does not use generative AI.
• We do not run facial recognition, biometric profiling, or automated identity inference.
• We do not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

If this changes, we will update this Policy before launching the feature and, where the change is material, give additional notice.

3. Principles for any future AI features

If and when we introduce AI-assisted features (for example, smarter search, recommendations, fraud/risk signals, or support assistance), we commit to:

1. Transparency — we will clearly tell you when you are interacting with, or are subject to, an AI feature, and update this Policy and the Privacy Policy to say what data it uses.
2. Purpose limitation & minimisation — an AI feature will use only the data needed for its stated purpose, on a lawful basis, and will not repurpose sensitive data (identity, financial, precise location) for unrelated ends.
3. Human oversight — decisions that materially affect you (e.g., account restriction, listing removal, payout holds) will keep a human in the loop with a route to human review; we will not rely on solely automated decision-making where the law requires otherwise.
4. Fairness & safety — we will assess AI features for accuracy, bias, and safety before and during use, and provide a way to flag errors.
5. Data protection — AI processing will follow the DPDP Act and our security safeguards. We will not use your identity documents, message content, or payment data to train models without a specific lawful basis and notice.
6. No surprise training — we will not sell your content to third parties to train their models, and we will disclose any use of your content to train our own models before doing so.
7. Explainability & contestability — where an AI feature affects you, we will provide meaningful information about the main factors and a way to contest the outcome.

We will maintain a list of live AI features and their data use here as they ship.

Live AI features: none at present.

4. Acceptable use of AI features and of the Platform

To keep the marketplace safe and lawful, you agree not to:

• use any AI feature (now or in future) to generate unlawful, deceptive, infringing, harassing, or unsafe content, or fake reviews/listings;
• rely on AI-generated output as professional, legal, medical, or safety advice;
• attempt to manipulate, reverse-engineer, extract, or "jailbreak" any AI feature, its prompts, or its models;
• use the Platform, its content, or its APIs to train, fine-tune, or build AI/ML models, or to scrape or harvest data for AI, without our prior written permission; or
• submit others' personal data to an AI feature without a lawful basis.

AI-assisted output can be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for reviewing any AI-assisted content before relying on it, and Hosts remain responsible for the accuracy of their listings regardless of any tool used to create them.

5. Your rights

Where an AI feature processes your personal data, your rights under the Privacy Policy and DPDP addendum apply — including access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal, and the right not to be subject to unlawful automated decision-making.

6. Changes and contact

We will update this Policy whenever our use of AI changes and post a new "Last updated" date. Questions: support@hasuaurora.com · Grievance Officer: Sukshith GM, support@hasuaurora.com.
