5. AI Processing Disclosure

RTOFlow uses third-party AI large language model (LLM) providers to generate training and assessment content. The following describes how Customer data flows through AI processing:

5.1 Data Flow

  1. Prompt Construction: RTOFlow constructs prompts containing training package requirements, organisational context, and — where the contextualization feature is used — student personal data (names, LLN levels, employer details, workplace context).
  2. API Transmission: Prompts are sent to AI providers via encrypted API connections (TLS 1.2+).
  3. Processing: The AI provider processes the prompt and returns generated content. Processing is transient — providers do not retain input or output data beyond the processing window.
  4. Storage: Generated content is stored solely within RTOFlow's infrastructure (AWS ap-southeast-2 where available). AI providers do not independently store copies.

5.2 AI Provider Commitments

All AI providers are engaged under enterprise or API agreements that include:

6. Sub-processors

The Customer provides general authorisation for RTOFlow to engage the sub-processors listed below. RTOFlow will notify the Customer of any intended changes to sub-processors at least 30 days in advance, giving the Customer the opportunity to object.
