No Dark Patterns, No Hidden Access

We believe compliance starts with honest design. European Compliance Suite is built without manipulation, distraction, or default exposure. There are no hidden settings, forced flows, or ambiguous consent prompts—just clear choices, transparent actions, and data you control. Because in regulated industries, trust isn’t a marketing term—it’s a requirement.

Every AI-powered feature—transcription, summarisation, redaction—requires explicit, opt-in consent from the user. We never rely on passive agreements, pre-ticked boxes, or confusing defaults. Consent can be reviewed, withdrawn, or reset at any time without penalty. This ensures your workflows remain fully aligned with GDPR and AI Act principles.

We avoid deceptive design patterns that trick users into sharing data or enabling features. Every consent or permission request is clearly stated, with purpose, scope, and consequences explained upfront. There’s no fine print buried in modals, and no interface games. What you agree to is exactly what happens—no more, no less.

Our interface avoids manipulative language like “Are you sure you want to miss out?” or false urgency. Users are empowered to decline features, opt out of processing, or restrict access—without emotional pressure or fear of disruption. We prioritize clarity over conversion. It’s not just ethical—it’s compliant by design.

We do not track user behavior without notice or log activity outside of clearly defined, auditable events. All tracking is disclosed in our privacy settings and linked to legitimate processing purposes. There are no hidden analytics, heatmaps, or third-party trackers operating in the background. What we collect is minimal, visible, and governed by law.

When AI is used—whether for summarisation, classification, or redaction—it’s clearly labeled and always under human control. We never use AI in ways that bypass user awareness or automate decisions without visibility. AI actions are logged, explainable, and optional at every step. You decide what’s processed and when—never the system alone.

We never share or reuse your data for product development, model training, or third-party partnerships. Your records, summaries, and conversations are yours—full stop. When data is exported, shared, or integrated, it’s based on your explicit instruction, with full visibility. Our system respects ownership, not just access.

We design our UI to prioritize readability, user flow, and informed decisions. No misleading layouts, hidden toggles, or aggressive pop-ups. Actions are placed where they make sense, labeled with context, and consistent across features. This helps reduce mistakes, improve confidence, and reinforce good compliance hygiene.

Dark patterns are now explicitly addressed in EU law, and we’ve designed ECS to go beyond those requirements. Our approach is rooted in privacy by design, data minimization, and user empowerment. This not only reduces legal risk—it builds trust with teams who rely on transparency in their own work. Compliance isn’t just a checklist—it’s a design philosophy we commit to daily.
