AI Transparency Notice

Auryth, version 1.1, effective 22 September 2026

These documents apply to each of the following products. Where a fact differs between them — the processors, where processing takes place, what the Source Library contains — it is stated per product below.

This notice implements Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act), as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, and explains what the Service is, what it is not, and what we expect of you as a user.

1. You are interacting with an AI system

Auryth is an AI system. The answers you read are generated automatically by a language model. There is no lawyer, no managing agent, no tax adviser, no notary, no customs representative and no other human between your question and the answer you receive.

The Service acts solely on behalf of Original Media BV and not on behalf of you, your organisation, an opposing party or any authority.

2. How the Service works

1. Your question is analysed and turned into search queries.
2. Those queries run against the Source Library: the collection of legal sources we have assembled for the product you use. What it holds for each product is set out below this list.
3. The passages found are put to a language model, which composes an answer with source references.
4. The answer appears with references to the documents used, so you can open them and read them yourself.

Auryth Tax

Contents: EU and Belgian tax legislation (federal, Flemish and Walloon), implementing decrees, case law, administrative circulars and commentary, advance rulings, accounting-law opinions and parliamentary preparatory works. Languages: Dutch, French, German and English.

Auryth Real Estate

Contents: legislation, implementing decrees, case law, disciplinary decisions, technical standards and official guidance. Languages: Dutch and French.

Auryth Notary

Contents: EU and Belgian legislation (federal, Flemish and Walloon), case law, administrative decisions and guidance on registration, mortgage and inheritance duties and VAT, advance rulings of the Flemish Tax Agency on inheritance and gift tax, parliamentary preparatory works and the notariat’s information for the public. Languages: Dutch and French.

Auryth Customs

Contents: the UK Trade Tariff and the EU tariff as applied in Northern Ireland (headings, section and chapter notes, with duties and measures), EU classification regulations, the CN Explanatory Notes, HMRC classification guidance and tariff notices, HMRC advance tariff rulings, EU binding tariff information (BTI) and the classification case law of the Court of Justice and the UK tax tribunals. Languages: English; EU binding tariff information in the language of the Member State that issued it.

The language model runs at external providers. The Service runs no generative language model of its own: your question and the passages found are sent to one or more of the model providers listed in point 6 of the Privacy Policy, depending on the product and its configuration. We do not develop those models ourselves; we are the provider of the AI system that puts them to work.

3. Intended purpose

The Service is intended as an aid to legal source research for the users named, per product, in the table at the head of this notice.

The Service helps you find the right source and understand it quickly. The judgment about what that source means in your file remains yours.

4. Excluded uses

The Service is not intended for and must not be used:

• by or on behalf of a judicial authority to assist in researching and interpreting facts and the law, or in applying the law to a concrete set of facts, nor for binding alternative dispute resolution;
• by or on behalf of a public authority, including social housing companies, woonmaatschappijen, public social welfare centres (OCMW/CPAS), SISP/SLRB and equivalent bodies, to evaluate the eligibility of natural persons for essential public services including social housing, or to grant, reduce, revoke or reclaim such services;
• as an automated basis for a decision producing legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning a natural person: access to housing or to a social benefit, creditworthiness, insurance, recruitment, or termination of a contract;
• to evaluate, screen or rank prospective tenants, prospective buyers, job applicants, employees or prospective clients;
• as a substitute for a regulated profession: lawyer, notary, judicial officer, auditor, accountant, tax adviser, customs representative, architect, energy-performance assessor and safety coordinator;
• in emergencies, or for decisions affecting the safety of persons or property.

Important. We hereby expressly specify that the Service is not to be changed into a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Article 6 of the AI Act. If you modify the intended purpose of the Service such that it becomes a high-risk AI system (Article 25(1)(c)), or place the Service on the market under your own name or trademark (Article 25(1)(a)), you become the provider of that system and the provider obligations in Article 16 fall on you. For Annex III systems those obligations apply from 2 December 2027. Use outside the intended purpose does not by itself make you a provider, but is prohibited under clause 3 of the Terms of Service.

5. Risk classification

Within the intended purpose described in point 3, the Service is not a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Article 6 of the AI Act:

• it is not a safety component of a product covered by Annex I;
• it does not fall within a category of Annex III. Point 8(a) concerns AI systems intended to be used by or on behalf of a judicial authority; point 5(a) concerns systems intended to be used by or on behalf of a public authority to evaluate eligibility for essential public services. The Service is intended for private professionals, and point 4 expressly excludes both uses.

Nor does the Service fall within the prohibited practices of Article 5, including the provisions inserted by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 which apply from 2 December 2026. It performs no emotion recognition, no biometric categorisation and no biometric identification, and it generates no image, audio or video: the obligations in Article 50(3) and Article 50(4), first subparagraph, do not fall on us. What Article 50(4), second subparagraph requires of you as a deployer is set out in point 8.

6. What the Service is not

The Service gives no legal, tax, customs, accounting, technical, construction or financial advice. No advisory relationship and no professional relationship arises. We are not a law firm and we do not practise any regulated profession.

7. Known limitations

Read this list before relying on an answer.

The model can be wrong. Language models generate text on a statistical basis. They can produce inaccurate, incomplete or fabricated information, including where the answer sounds confident and carries source references.

A citation is not proof. The reference shows which document was consulted; it does not warrant that the document supports the statement, nor that the cited passage is reproduced correctly. Open the source.

The Source Library is a selection. It does not contain every legal source in the field it covers. Some fields are covered deeply, others thinly. Any description of the Source Library’s scope is indicative and is not a warranty.

Auryth Tax

The Source Library covers Belgian tax law only, with EU and treaty sources insofar as they bear on it: no other field of law, no other country’s tax law, and no advisory or product-level material.

Auryth Real Estate

The Source Library does contain the statutory provisions on mortgage credit and mortgage security, but no advisory or product-level financing material.

Auryth Notary

The Source Library contains no model deeds, and case law is present only to a limited extent. The notariat’s material is information for consumers, not professional guidance for notaries.

Auryth Customs

The Source Library covers the UK and EU customs tariffs only: no other country’s tariff, and no customs legislation beyond the tariff and the EU classification regulations, so not the Union Customs Code and not the UK rules on customs procedures, valuation or origin. It does not use the Explanatory Notes to the World Customs Organization’s Harmonized System, on which HMRC bases most of its rulings. It holds no advisory or product-level material.

Currency is not guaranteed. Sources are refreshed periodically. A recent legislative change, a new judgment or a newly published implementing decree may be missing. We give no undertaking as to any update interval.

Coverage differs by language and by region.

Auryth Tax

Federal, Flemish, Walloon and Brussels tax rules are not present to the same extent, and the language versions of the Source Library are not identical. The same question in a different language can produce a different result.

Auryth Real Estate and Auryth Notary

Flemish, Walloon and Brussels rules are not present to the same extent, and the Dutch and French parts of the Source Library are not identical. The same question in a different language can produce a different result.

Auryth Customs

The EU tariff is read in the version the United Kingdom publishes for Northern Ireland, not from the Union’s own TARIC database. The Source Library is in English, except EU binding tariff information, which is in the language of the Member State that issued it. The same question in a different language can produce a different result.

Retrieval can fail. If the search step does not find the right document, the model answers on the basis of what it did find. That produces a plausible but incomplete answer.

Answers are not reproducible. The same question can produce a different answer at a different time, among other things because the underlying model or the Source Library changes.

8. What we expect of you

Verify at the source. Check every answer against the original, authentic text (the official publication of the text, the full text of the judgment or decision) before using it in your professional practice, towards a client, towards a general meeting of co-owners, before the tax or customs authorities, in a deed, or in proceedings.

Let a human decide. Use the Output as the starting point of your own reasoning, not as its conclusion.

Label publication to the public. If you publish Output in order to inform the public on a matter of public interest (the administration of justice, fundamental rights, consumer safety, or economic and social developments that may be a subject of public debate), Article 50(4), second subparagraph of the AI Act requires you, as deployer, to disclose clearly that the text is AI-generated or manipulated. That obligation falls away only where the text has undergone substantive human review or editorial control and a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility. A spelling or formatting check does not qualify.

Be clear about provenance. If you reuse Output in correspondence or in a report to a third party, do not present it as human-authored advice and do not present it as our position.

Support AI literacy. Article 4 of the AI Act, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, requires both us and you to take measures supporting the development of AI literacy among your staff, proportionate to their technical knowledge, experience, education and context of use. That obligation does not require you to guarantee any particular level of AI literacy in any individual. You may use this notice and the in-product explanations for that purpose.

Be sparing with personal data. Do not enter more third-party data than your question requires. See the Privacy Policy.

9. Marking of generated content

Article 50(2) of the AI Act requires us to mark the outputs of the Service in a machine-readable format and make them detectable as AI-generated. That obligation applies to the Service from the moment it is placed on the market. It is not limited to exports: it applies to every output.

(The date of 2 December 2026 cited elsewhere is a transitional period available only to generative systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026. It does not apply to this Service.)

10. Use of your input

What happens to your questions and answers is set out in point 4 of the Privacy Policy. In short: we do not use the content of your conversations for our own purposes, and for improving the Source Library and the search methods we use only material from which personal data has been removed.

We engage model providers only on terms under which your input is not used to train their models, and we configure our use of their services accordingly. The current list of providers is in point 6 of the Privacy Policy.

11. Human contact and complaints

To speak to a human about an answer, report a suspected error, or object to how the Service works: support@auryth.ai. We answer every substantiated report and correct demonstrable errors in the Source Library.

If you consider that the Service infringes the AI Act, Article 85 of that Regulation entitles you to lodge a complaint with the competent market surveillance authority. For Belgium, the BIPT/IBPT acts as coordinating authority for the AI Act (Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications, Ellipse Building, Koning Albert II-laan 35, 1030 Brussels, ibpt.be). Complaints about the processing of personal data go to the Data Protection Authority; see the Privacy Policy.
