# The AI Never Learns Your People's Names

_Employee names and personal identifiers are stripped out automatically before content is sent to the AI, not left to a setting, which matters for trust and for the GDPR and the EU AI Act._

## Automatic De-Identification

Content is scrubbed before anything leaves your organisation. Development plans are generated about the employee, never about a name, and the scrubbing step is built into the pipeline rather than left to policy.

## Organisation-Level Generation

Framework generation uses only organisation-level inputs: your values, functions and level structure. Personal data is simply not part of the prompt.

## Compliance You Can Show

Under the GDPR and the EU AI Act, privacy discipline around performance data is a requirement, not a preference. Sageo's architecture makes it demonstrable to your DPO, your works council and your buyers.

- No names or personal feedback in AI calls
- De-identification is automatic, not configurable
- Designed for GDPR and EU AI Act obligations
