4. Why and When We Use Personal Information

Greener collects and uses personal information only when necessary to deliver our Services, support ESG reporting obligations, or meet legal or contractual requirements. We impose clear restrictions on data use and ensure that processing aligns with user expectations and applicable privacy laws.

Depending on your relationship with Greener and your role within your organisation, we may act as a data controller (for example, managing account setup, analytics, and platform operations) or as a data processor (for example, handling ESG documents and general ledger files on your organisation’s behalf). When acting as a data processor, we process personal information solely according to your organisation’s instructions and in line with our contractual agreements, including any Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or similar arrangement where applicable.

a. To Deliver the Services
We use your personal information to:

  • Provide access to the platform
  • Authenticate users and assign appropriate access roles
  • Enable document uploads and classification
  • Generate emissions reports and ESG outputs
  • Communicate with you about product functionality, updates, or support

These uses are necessary for us to deliver the platform as outlined in our agreement with your organisation or ESG advisor.

‍b. To Operate and Improve the Platform
We may process data to:

  • Monitor platform usage and system performance
  • Resolve bugs and friction points
  • Understand adoption and feature effectiveness
  • Support your organisation’s ESG consultants or administrators

These activities support the performance, integrity, and usability of the platform.

‍c. With Your Consent
In limited cases, we may ask for your consent to:

  • Collect optional feedback or participate in surveys
  • Join early-access or beta features
  • Provide onboarding inputs or diagnostics

Consent-based uses are always voluntary, and you can withdraw your participation at any time. Core functionality doesn’t rely on consent.

d. To Comply with Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may use and retain personal information as needed to:

  • Comply with ESG, corporate, or audit reporting frameworks
  • Respond to court orders, regulatory requests, or investigations
  • Maintain audit trails and activity logs required under climate reporting obligations

We only keep the data necessary to meet legal requirements and remove it when it is no longer needed, subject to technical, contractual, or audit trail obligations. When data is no longer required, we securely delete or de-identify it, unless law, platform rules, or your organisation’s instructions specify otherwise.

e. When Acting on Behalf of Your Organisation
Greener often acts as a data processor on behalf of your organisation. In these cases, we:

  • Process content, logs, and user actions under the direction of your company or ESG advisor
  • Follow the terms of a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or similar contractual controls, where agreed in writing
  • Do not make independent decisions about your organisation’s data

If you’re uncertain whether Greener is acting independently or under instruction, contact your organisation’s account administrator or refer to Section 13.

‍

5. How We Use AI and Automated Tools

This section explains how our AI features handle personal information; for our AI governance principles, safeguards, and oversight, see the Greener Responsible AI Policy.

Greener integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to support classification, document interpretation, collaboration, and in-app guidance. These AI systems help users manage complex ESG data, generate emissions classifications, and support readiness for mandatory climate reporting.

Our AI capabilities are built on multi-agent architectures powered by large language models (LLMs), securely hosted in Microsoft Azure, Claude, and OpenAI infrastructure, and operated entirely within Greener-controlled environments. Agent orchestration and chat flows are managed using FlowiseAI, which is hosted in the US and configured to ensure secure processing.

a. What Our AI Systems Do
AI agents in the Greener platform may assist with:

  • Interpreting uploaded ESG or financial documents
  • Mapping activity to Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions categories
  • Generating classifications aligned to frameworks such as the GHG Protocol and PCAF
  • Summarising documents, identifying gaps, or suggesting next steps
  • Answering contextual questions or guiding users through platform workflows

These systems enhance user experience and assist with ESG governance. They do not replace professional judgment, disclosure decisions, or audit reviews.

‍b. Chat Assistant and Interaction History
Greener’s AI-powered chat assistant helps users navigate the platform, understand ESG concepts, and interact with data more effectively.

When you engage with the assistant:

  • It may access documents uploaded by your organisation, classified general ledger data, company outputs, and other information relevant to your company context
  • Chat messages and summaries are stored using Zep (pseudonymised and linked only to an internal user ID)
  • History is retained to maintain context across sessions and improve relevance
  • Your chat inputs are never used to train models or shared with external parties

Important: AI assistant responses may include omissions or errors. They are meant as guidance only and should not be relied upon solely for reports, disclosures, or compliance decisions.

‍c. Model Fine-Tuning and Data Boundaries
Greener fine-tunes specific models to improve classification accuracy in ESG and emissions contexts:

  • Fine-tuning is based on non-customer-specific training sets, including labelled general ledger data, vendor descriptors (excluding individuals), and standard emissions categories
  • We do not fine-tune any model using your company’s amounts, uploaded reports, or named vendors unless explicitly agreed upon
  • We do not allow cross-client learning or behavioural drift in classification logic

AI outputs are designed to be consistent, explainable, and aligned with ESG frameworks; they do not continually adapt to individual users behaviour.

‍d. Evaluation and System Accuracy Monitoring
We use LLM evaluation tools hosted in Microsoft Azure, FlowiseAI, and LangSmith to assess the accuracy and consistency of AI-generated classifications and summaries to ensure performance and reliability.

  • Evaluations are conducted using test inputs and pseudonymised data, not live user content
  • Models are scored against structured rubrics for relevance, accuracy, and consistency
  • These tools help improve reliability, but do not perform continuous learning or real-time model updates.

We do not share your data with external AI providers for evaluation or benchmarking. When Greener staff need to review AI outputs for support or troubleshooting, access is strictly limited to authorised personnel and is thoroughly audited for security.

e. Storage, Isolation, and Infrastructure Controls

  • All AI prompts, responses, and evaluations are processed securely in Microsoft Azure
  • Embeddings for uploaded documents (excluding general ledger files and output reports) are stored in Pinecone, hosted in Azure US
  • Chat history is stored in Zep with no direct identifiers
  • No personal data is used for external training, marketing, or model resale

We apply strict controls over subprocessors and restrict all AI processing to Greener-authorised contexts only. For further information on storage regions and providers, please refer to our Subprocessor and Data Hosting disclosures.

f. AI Oversight, Transparency, and Human Review
Greener’s AI use is governed by our Responsible AI Policy, which outlines:

  • Human-in-the-loop design requirements
  • Audit trails, override mechanisms, and administrator review
  • Bias detection, fairness safeguards, and explainability expectations
  • Risk classification and system documentation aligned with relevant AI frameworks

We believe AI should support, not automate, governance and reporting responsibilities.

Customers may request that their data be excluded from Greener’s internal fine-tuning of AI models. However, opt-out is not available for Greener’s core AI functionality, including classification and assistant features essential to platform operation. To request exclusion from internal fine-tuning, please contact privacy@greener.com.au. We will confirm the scope and operational impact of any opt-out.

‍

  • General ledger files and output reports are stored securely in Azure and are excluded from Pinecone vector storage.
  • DNS and CDN: We currently use AWS for domain resolution and content delivery.
  • Private networking: Our Azure environments operate within a private virtual network, segmented from public traffic.

b. Access Controls and Organisational Safeguards

  • Authentication: Users access the platform via password-based or Single Sign-On (SSO) login. Session activity is tracked and time-bound.
  • Role-based access: Platform permissions are role-specific and scoped to each company account. Code-level rules prevent cross-organisation data exposure.
  • Internal access control: Access to production systems is limited to trained Greener engineers under least-privilege principles. Access is logged and reviewed.
  • Staff training: All personnel undergo annual privacy and security training and are contractually bound to confidentiality.

c. Encryption and Data Transmission

  • All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3.
  • All data at rest, including files, database records, vector embeddings, and logs, is encrypted using AES-256.
  • API communications with subprocessors (e.g. OpenAI, Pinecone, Zep, Postmark) are encrypted and access-controlled.

d. Monitoring, Logging, and Incident Response

  • Platform activity and infrastructure logs are monitored using tools provided by Microsoft Azure and our security monitoring stack.
  • Anomalous activity, unexpected usage, or policy violations are flagged for investigation.
  • We maintain an internal security incident response plan, and all incidents are tracked in Greener’s engineering systems.
  • In the event of a notifiable data breach, we will promptly notify affected customers in accordance with applicable privacy law.

e. Vendor Certifications and Security Alignment
While Greener is not certified under ISO 27001 or SOC 2, our infrastructure vendors maintain these certifications, including Microsoft Azure, Postmark, Pinecone, Zep, and other subprocessors.

Greener aligns its internal controls with ISO/SOC 2 standards for:

  • Infrastructure access governance
  • Secure software development practices
  • Data retention and audit log management
  • Subprocessor due diligence and lifecycle management

‍

9. Data Retention and Disposal

Greener retains personal information and ESG-related records only for as long as necessary to support our Services, fulfil contractual obligations, comply with applicable laws, and maintain platform auditability.

Our retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, and the regulatory or contractual requirements relevant to your organisation.

a. While Your Organisation Has an Active Account
We retain:

  • Uploaded ESG documents and supporting materials
  • General ledger files, emissions records, and output reports
  • AI-generated classifications and platform-generated summaries
  • User feedback, comments, onboarding activity, and chat interactions (via Zep)
  • Session logs, file status history, and audit trails linked to your company account

This information is retained to support collaboration, ESG reporting workflows, readiness verification, and platform continuity.

b. After Termination of Services
When your organisation’s account is deactivated or your contract ends:

  • All retained data is flagged for deletion 30 days after the termination date, unless otherwise specified by law or agreement.
  • During this 30-day window, administrators may request an export of data or transition assistance.
  • After the window expires, all retained content, including structured data, files, chat history, and document outputs, is securely and permanently deleted from our systems.
  • Deletion is conducted using secure deletion protocols in line with Microsoft Azure and Zep standards.

Greener can provide a written attestation of deletion upon request.

c. Retention Exceptions
Some data may be retained longer if:

  • Required by law (e.g. ESG disclosure, audit documentation, corporate recordkeeping)
  • Retention is reasonably necessary to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or investigate a breach
  • You have requested extended retention (e.g. for onboarding or integration continuity)

Unless there is a legal or operational reason, we will not keep general ledger files, emissions outputs, or chat history beyond the usual retention period unless justified by legal or operational needs.

10. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your role and location, you may have various rights regarding your personal information. Greener promotes transparency, access, and control for all users, whether you interact with our platform directly or through your organisation.

If you are part of an enterprise or consulting firm account, your rights may be exercised in coordination with your organisation’s administrator or privacy officer.

a. Access and Correction
You may request:

  • Access to the personal information we hold about you (e.g. name, email, role, activity logs)
  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Clarification about how your data is being used

We will verify your identity before responding to access or correction requests and may refer your request to your organisation if we act as a processor.
