Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI within our services
In the execution of our services as a tax consultancy firm, we make use of digital tools in which artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated. These applications support our work, including the analysis and structuring of information, the processing of documentation, and the preparation of tax advice.

We deploy AI exclusively to support our services and it never replaces the professional judgment of our tax advisors. Nor can it do so. The ultimate responsibility for the content, accuracy and quality of our work and advice rests with our advisors.

Confidentiality and Secrecy
We are bound by and comply with the professional and ethical rules of the Dutch Order of Tax Advisors (NOB). The use of AI takes place in compliance with these obligations.

Processing of Personal Data when using AI
When using AI, Pereira uses an anonymisation tool. As a result, no directly or indirectly identifiable Personal Data is entered into AI applications outside the Pereira environment. Identifying data, such as names, addresses, Citizen service numbers (BSN numbers), and other identifiable characteristics, are removed or anonymised prior to the use of AI.

When Personal Data is processed within our systems, this takes place exclusively if and to the extent necessary for the provision of our services and always within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In doing so, we ensure that:

  • AI plays an exclusively supporting role and the final assessment, decision-making and advice are always provided by our tax advisors;
  • Personal Data is not used for training, improving or developing third-party AI models;
  • Appropriate technical and organisational measures have been taken to secure Personal Data.


Third Parties
If we use external parties in the deployment of AI, these parties act as processors within the meaning of the GDPR. Appropriate data processing agreements are concluded with them, which include agreements regarding confidentiality, data security and the use of Personal Data.

If and to the extent that data is processed or stored externally, this takes place within the European Union or with parties that ensure an appropriate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.

Transparency
We value transparency regarding the use of AI within our services and, upon request, we will provide further information about the manner in which AI is deployed in the context of our services.

What should I do if I have a complaint?
Pereira makes every effort to ensure that you, as our client, are satisfied. However, if you have a complaint, please contact us through our Privacy Officer. If we cannot help you, you have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Privacy Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes
Pereira reserves the right to make periodic changes to this privacy statement.
