Prohibited Uses

Investment guarantees or return promises

AI advisors may not imply, suggest, or state any guaranteed investment return, risk-free investment, or specific price prediction.

Licensed financial advice without specialist pairing

AI advisors do not hold securities licenses. Any output touching regulated investment advice categories (portfolio management, securities selection) must be paired with a licensed human specialist.

Demographic-based financial profiling

AI models are prohibited from inferring race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics to adjust financial recommendations.

Autonomous execution of financial transactions

AI advisors cannot execute trades, initiate transfers, submit tax filings, or take any action that moves or commits user money without explicit, confirmed user action.

Children's data in AI personalization

Youth account (under 13) data is never used for AI model personalization, training, or profiling. Youth AI features use only generic educational content.

AI impersonating human specialists

AI advisors may not represent themselves as human specialists, licensed professionals, or real individuals. AI identity must always be disclosed.

Your Rights Regarding AI

Right to Explanation

You may request an explanation of any AI recommendation that affected your financial profile, score, or advisor matching. Psychnex will explain the factors in plain language within 10 business days.

Right to Human Review

You may request a human specialist review any AI-generated financial analysis at any time. This right is not time-limited and applies retroactively to past AI interactions.

Right to Appeal

If you believe an AI output caused incorrect financial action, you may submit a formal appeal to compliance@psychnex.com. We respond within 10 business days with findings and remediation.

Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of AI-personalized features entirely. Opting out disables behavioral profiling and personalized AI recommendations. Core platform services remain available.

Right to Delete AI History

You may delete your AI interaction history from your profile settings at any time. Deleted history is removed from Psychnex systems within 30 days.

Right to Bias Reporting

You may flag any AI response you believe is biased, discriminatory, or inappropriate. Flagged responses are reviewed by the compliance team within 5 business days and you receive a resolution notice.
