AI Transparency and Responsibility Statement

AI Transparency and Responsibility Statement

Last Updated: 12th January 2026

1. Overview:

Hexnode (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning-based technologies to enhance certain product features and assist users in managing, monitoring, and securing devices and environment more efficiently. Our AI-enabled features are intended to

  • Assist users in identifying, understanding and responding to operational or security related signals more effectively;
  • Improve usability and scalability of complex workflows, and
  • Provide contextual insights that support informed human decision-making, improve operational efficiency and surface relevant insights.

AI is deployed to augment human expertise and are not designed to replace human judgement, discretion or accountability. This AI Transparency and Responsibility Statement (“Statement”) outlines how we develop and deploy AI features responsibly, transparently and by aligning with applicable legal and ethical expectations.

2. Scope and Classification of AI Use:

Hexnode’s AI-enabled features are limited to supportive and assistive use cases within its products. They may include:

  • Detection, classification, or prioritization of security events or signals;
  • Generation of analytical insights, summaries, or recommendations, and
  • Supporting operational workflows through automation and pattern recognition.

Hexnode does not deploy AI systems intended to:

  • Make autonomous decisions with legal or similarly significant effects; or
  • Operate independently of Customer-configured controls and oversight.
  • Supporting operational workflows through automation and pattern recognition.

All AI-generated outputs are advisory in nature. They are intended to provide contextual assistance and decision support, rather than definitive conclusions or automated outcomes. Customers remain responsible for determining how, and whether, such outputs are used within their operational environment.

3. Human Oversight & Limitations:

Hexnode’s AI-enabled features are designed to operate with meaningful human involvement. In other words, Hexnode’s AI enabled features do not operate autonomously in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects without meaningful human involvement. Customers and Authorised Users retain responsibility for reviewing, validating, and acting upon AI-generated outputs. AI outputs may be probabilistic, context-dependent, or influences by data quality, and may not always be accurate, complete, or suitable for every scenario. AI-enabled features do not produce binding outcomes, enforcement actions, or decisions without human review or control.

Accordingly, Hexnode does not guarantee that AI-generated outputs will be error-free or appropriate for any specific use case. Customers and Authorised Users should apply professional judgment when relying on such outputs. Hexnode does not position its AI-enabled features as substitutes for professional, legal or operational judgement.

4. Data Use & Privacy:

AI-enabled features process data strictly in accordance with customer instructions and applicable contractual arrangements, including our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

Customer data processed through AI-enabled features is used solely for the purpose of providing the requested functionality, unless otherwise expressly agreed. Hexnode does not use Customer Data to train or improve general-purpose AI models unless explicitly disclosed and contractually agreed.

All Data Handling practices are designed to support principles such as data minimization, confidentiality, and security.

Where personal data is processed through AI-enabled features, customers generally act as the data controller, and Hexnode acts as a processor, as defined under applicable data protection laws, unless otherwise specified by agreement.

5. Transparency & User Control:

Hexnode aims to provide customers with transparency and meaningful control over the use of AI-enabled features within their environments.

AI-enabled features are enabled, configured and managed through administrative controls defined by the Customer. Customers determine whether, when, and how AI-enabled features are activated and used within their environments. Where applicable, we have designed Documentation and product interfaces to help users understand the role AI plays in relevant features.

Hexnode does not mandate the use of AI-enabled features as a condition of using its core services, unless expressly stated.

6. Compliance with Applicable Laws & Responsible AI Principles:

Hexnode is committed to developing and deploying AI-enabled features responsibly and in alignment with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. This includes a focus on:

  • Lawful, fair and transparent processing of data,
  • Appropriate technical and organizational safeguards,
  • Internal Governance and accountability mechanisms, and
  • Ongoing review of regulatory developments related to AI, data protection, and technology governance.
  • Data minimisation and security

Hexnode monitors evolving legal frameworks, guidance, and industry standards, and adapts its practices as appropriate to support compliance and responsible innovation.

7. Auditability, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement:

Hexnode maintains internal governance processes to support the effective and responsible operation of its AI-enabled features. These include:

  • Periodic Review: Hexnode periodically reviews its AI systems and features to assess their functionality, performance, and alignment with intended use cases. These reviews may include evaluations of system behaviour, output reliability, and documented limitations.
  • Monitoring & Risk Management: Hexnode monitors AI features for potential risks related to performance, security, and compliance with applicable legal and contractual requirements. Where issues are identified, appropriate corrective or mitigation measures are implemented. Internal escalation and remediation processeses to address identified issues.
  • Continuous Improvement: Hexnode is committed to evolving its AI features responsibly as technologies, industry practices, and regulatory requirements develop. This includes refining safeguards, improving transparency, and updating internal governance processes as relevant laws and guidance continue to evolve.

These activities form part of Hexnode’s broader product development, security and compliance programs.

8. Risk Awareness and Mitigation:

Hexnode recognises that AI systems may present risks if improperly designed, deployed or used. Accordingly, Hexnode takes reasonable steps to:

  • Identify potential risks associated with AI-enabled features;
  • Implement safeguards proportionate to the nature and scope of the AI use, and
  • Limit foreseeable negative impacts on Customers and Users.

All AI-enabled features are continuously evaluated in light of their intended purpose and operational context.

9. Updates:

This AI transparency statement may be periodically updated to reflect changes in our AI-enabled features, regulatory requirements, or internal practices. The latest version will always be made available on our website.
