AI Transparency Disclosure
How our reports are produced with AI, what that means for their accuracy, and which models we use.
Service: RivalLens (rivallenslabs.com) Version: 1.0 Effective date: 2026-10-23 Last updated: 2026-06-28
Authoritative language: English. Translations are for convenience; the English version prevails.
1. Reports are generated by AI
RivalLens reports are produced automatically by artificial-intelligence systems. The Service discovers competitors and collects data from publicly available sources, and AI models then process that data into the report you receive. A human does not write or individually verify each report.
We make this disclosure both as good practice and to meet the transparency expectations of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).
2. Our role under the EU AI Act
- RivalLens is a deployer of third-party general-purpose AI models (see Section 4); it is not the provider of those models.
- RivalLens is not a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Annex III of the AI Act — it provides market-research analysis, not a listed high-risk use.
- The relevant obligations are the transparency duties of Article 50, which begin to apply on 2 August 2026. We disclose AI use clearly (this document and in-product labelling) so that you always know report content is AI-generated.
Note: Article 50(4)'s duty to label AI-generated text is scoped to text "published to inform the public on matters of public interest". A private, paid competitor report delivered to one customer is likely outside that specific scope; we nonetheless label our output as AI-generated as a matter of good practice and Article 50(1) transparency.
3. Accuracy, limitations and human oversight
- AI output may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information, and depends on third-party public sources we do not control.
- Reports are for informational and research purposes only and are not legal, financial, tax, investment, or other professional advice (see Terms of Use §6).
- You remain responsible for verifying information and for any decisions you make. We recommend treating reports as a starting point, not a final authority.
4. AI models we use
We use AI models from the following providers as sub-processors (see rivallenslabs.com/legal/sub-processors):
| Provider | Use |
|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude) | Discovery, classification, extraction, synthesis of reports |
| OpenAI | Final deep-research synthesis step |
These providers process data on our behalf under data-processing agreements. We do not use your personal data to train third-party AI models, and we configure our vendors to exclude your data from their model training where that option is available.
5. Your choices
