Preamble, nature and effect of this document

Niltech Europe S.r.l., with registered office at Via Calmaggiore 5, 31100 Treviso (TV), Italia, VAT No. IT 05614380268 (“Niltech”), adopts this document in order to describe continuity, backup and recovery governance while separating public principles from verified restricted values and configurations.

This document is a corporate transparency and accountability record. It is not a third-party certification, legal opinion addressed to persons other than the company, absolute security warranty or blanket compliance statement; contractual commitments arise solely from the applicable agreements.

Continuity is governed through an approach proportionate to services, data and dependencies. Time or data-loss objectives become binding only if agreed by contract or approved in a plan supported by restoration evidence.

Personal and material scope

The objective scope includes Andrea AI, its public interfaces and processing strictly connected with the described functions. The commercial website and document library are published on andreaaiagent.com and use Bluehost infrastructure, MySQL and server mail transport. The application is made available through the separate andreaai.net domain on Hetzner infrastructure; Pinecone, Cloudflare, OpenAI and Google Gemini are involved only within the functions and agreements applicable to them.

The relevant operations concern document and image intake and analysis, policy-reading support, estimates and report drafts, case-file organisation, and ESG indicators only where supported by verifiable data. Potential information categories are: contact and prospect data on the website; in the application, case data, documents, images, notes, technical metadata and AI-assisted outputs according to configuration and contract. The actual privacy role, lawful basis and extent of processing depend on the contractual relationship and the lawful instructions of the party determining purposes and essential means.

Definitions and interpretation

“Service” means the Andrea AI functions made available under the agreement.
“Customer” means the legal person or professional entering into the agreement with Niltech.
“Authorised User” means an individual enabled by the Customer to use the Service under its responsibility.
“Customer Data” means data, documents, images, instructions and other content submitted or generated on the Customer’s behalf.
“Assisted Output” means a result produced through automated rules or artificial-intelligence components and subject to the stated controls.
“Further Supplier” means a third party providing Niltech with a technical service relevant to the documented scope.
“Incident” means an event compromising or capable of compromising confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity or resilience.
“Business Day” means a day other than Saturday, Sunday or an Italian national public holiday.

Specific duties and safeguards

1. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall identify critical processes, dependencies, owners and scenarios. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

2. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall perform approved impact and priority analysis. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

3. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall inventory backups, protections, retention and responsibilities. The applicable file identifies the owner, scope, dependencies, acceptance criterion and evidence; absent those elements, the safeguard is not treated as demonstrated.

4. Within its assigned role and without prejudice to the Customer’s responsibilities, Niltech shall test restores in an isolated environment and verify integrity.

Scope

The commercial website and document library are published on andreaaiagent.com and use Bluehost infrastructure, MySQL and server mail transport. The application is made available through the separate andreaai.net domain on Hetzner infrastructure; Pinecone, Cloudflare, OpenAI and Google Gemini are involved only within the functions and agreements applicable to them.

Critical services, dependencies, data and owners are inventoried in the controlled plan.

Strategies

backups under an approved schedule and logical separation where available
restore procedures and integrity checks
manual or degraded operation for priority functions
contacts, escalation, communication and supplier dependencies

Testing

Backup value is demonstrated through verified restores. Results, gaps and actions are recorded. Frequencies and objectives are set in contract or the approved plan, not in this public summary.

Continuity event

Triage, containment, failover or restore decision, communications, data validation and controlled return to service are activated. Notification duties are assessed separately.

Scope, audience and status of this document

This document is intended for customers, prospects, authorised users, advisers and control functions needing to understand the Andrea AI scope. Its specific objective is to describe continuity, backup and recovery governance while separating public principles from verified restricted values and configurations. It applies to the stated document revision and date and must be read with the applicable agreement, order, DPA, technical specifications and controlled procedures.

Executed agreements and actually approved configurations prevail in case of inconsistency. Public information describes the control programme; it does not turn optional provider capabilities into Niltech controls or automatically attest legal applicability or satisfaction.

Exceptions, non-conformity and escalation

A deviation is not accepted by custom. The owner records the affected requirement, cause, impact, exposed data and persons, compensating measures, approver, expiry and closure criterion. The exception is reviewed if risk changes or a measure does not work as expected.

Incidents, possible unlawful processing, loss of data control, outputs with severe impact, contractual breaches, unapproved suppliers or unreliable evidence must be escalated without delay. Current Legal and functional scope: The documented scope includes the commercial website, the public library and, where expressly stated, processing connected with the application.

contain risk and suspend the affected phase where needed
preserve evidence, timing, decisions and communications
involve privacy, security, product, legal or management owners as appropriate
resume only after measure verification and documented authorisation

Review, change and improvement

The document is reviewed at least every six months and earlier when purpose, audience, data, GDPR or AI Act role, supplier, model, architecture, location, contractual terms or legal requirements change. Incidents, complaints, failed tests and new vulnerabilities trigger an extraordinary review.

Each review records inputs, participants, decision, changes, superseded evidence, remaining gaps and next date. Material corrections are published without retroactively altering the prior document revision. Contact and requests: info@nil-tech.net.

Impact analysis and approved objectives

Continuity and disaster recovery are defined from processes, assets, data, dependencies, interruption tolerance and acceptable loss. Objectives, frequencies and response times have effect only if approved in the plan or contract and verified by testing; they are not inferred from the existence of backups.

The plan identifies activation criteria, authority, communications, degraded operation, restoration priorities, external dependencies and controlled return. The Customer maintains its own copies or procedures where required by risk and contract.

Backups and restoration evidence

A backup is considered effective only if inventoried, protected against access and alteration, monitored, subject to expiry and restorable within intended scope. Tests are performed in an isolated environment, verify integrity and usability and produce a record of deviations and actions.

Continuity does not justify indefinite retention or ordinary reuse of copies. On restoration, deletions, rectifications, restrictions and legal holds occurring after the copy are reconciled before data are made available again.

Allocation of responsibility and reliance limitations

Within its sphere of responsibility, the Customer warrants the lawfulness of submitted data and instructions, user authorisation, suitable lawful bases and notices, and professional verification of outputs. Niltech remains responsible for activities directly under its control and does not assume the Customer’s regulatory, professional or decision-making functions.

Outputs from Andrea AI are auxiliary. Unless expressly agreed and subject to mandatory law, they are not legal advice, an expert determination, insurance decision, liability finding, credit assessment or other reserved professional act. The recipient must examine sources, completeness, consistency and consequences before use.

Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Outside those cases, attribution, remedies, limitations and quantification principles follow the applicable agreement, taking account of contributory conduct, mitigation duties and foreseeability under the governing law.

Evidence, review, requests and governing law

Every material assertion must be traceable to a contract, approved configuration, register, minutes, test, log or other reliable evidence. Supplier statements and Niltech controls are kept distinct. Absence of incidents is not, by itself, proof that a measure is effective.

Revisions are dated, reasoned and approved. A later revision does not retroactively alter facts or commitments applicable to earlier periods. Published copies are identified by code, date and cryptographic digest; those elements evidence copy integrity, not the substantive effectiveness of described controls.

Reports, clarification requests, rights requests and complaints may be sent to info@nil-tech.net. Niltech verifies identity and authority where necessary, records the request, responds within applicable periods and communicates any reasoned extension or refusal.

Unless mandatory law or a written agreement provides otherwise, Italian law governs interpretation. The Italian text is controlling; the English translation is provided for convenience.
