Every day, staff across your organisation are pasting confidential data, client information and internal documents into free AI tools you don't own, can't see and have no control over. askKira changes that — immediately.
Shadow AI is the fastest-growing compliance risk in the workplace. It's not a future problem — it's happening in your organisation today, on personal devices, through personal accounts, completely outside your control.
Even if you've deployed Copilot or Google Workspace — your staff are still using ChatGPT on their phones. Personal accounts. No oversight. No audit trail. No way to stop it.
The world's most powerful technology companies are giving you access to extraordinary AI — completely free. Ask yourself: why? What are they doing with the data your staff are feeding them every day?
Client names. Pricing strategies. Legal documents. HR records. Board papers. Confidential negotiations. All of it typed into free tools with privacy policies your legal team has never read.
Shadow AI isn't just a technology problem — it's a legal and financial exposure that sits directly on your organisation's balance sheet. And increasingly, on your directors personally.
The ICO can fine organisations up to £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover — whichever is higher — for serious data protection failures. Staff using personal AI tools with client data qualifies.
When staff paste confidential client information, legal documents or commercially sensitive data into free AI tools, your NDAs and confidentiality agreements may already be breached. Civil liability is unlimited.
Pricing strategies. Product roadmaps. Customer lists. Proprietary methodologies. Once entered into a free AI tool, your most valuable competitive assets may be incorporated into models that serve your competitors.
Under the Data Protection Act 2018, individual directors can face personal liability for data protection failures they authorised, encouraged or failed to prevent. Ignorance is not a defence.
Staff are pasting client data, internal strategies, HR records and legal documents into free AI tools every working day. Most organisations have no visibility of it, no policy to prevent it, and no audit trail if it goes wrong.
The question isn't whether you have a Shadow AI problem. The question is how long you wait before you fix it.
"Staff pasting client data, pricing strategies, legal documents and HR records into free AI tools is happening in your organisation today. You may already be liable."
Organisations banned TikTok from work devices — but only after years of data flowing freely. The AI tools your staff are using today are following exactly the same pattern. The privacy policies are already written. The data is already flowing. Most organisations have never read them.
Organisations allow staff to use it freely on work devices. It's just a social media app. What's the risk?
UK, US and EU governments ban TikTok on official devices. Five years of data had already flowed.
Your staff are using free AI tools today — at exactly the point organisations were with TikTok in 2018.
"AI interactions, including prompts, questions, files, and other types of information that you submit to our AI-powered interfaces, as well as the responses they generate" are collected and used to "train, test, and improve technology, such as machine learning models and algorithms."
TikTok now has AI-powered features built directly into the platform. Any staff member using TikTok's AI tools has their prompts, files and responses collected and used for model training — by policy.
TikTok is just the most politically visible example. The free tiers of ChatGPT, Google Gemini and other tools have similar data use provisions. Have your legal team read their privacy policies recently?
"Why are the world's most powerful technology companies giving you access to the most extraordinary technology ever created — completely, unconditionally, for free?
What are they doing with your data?"
The free AI tools your staff use every day have privacy policies that permit broad collection and use of everything entered into them. Your confidential data, your client information, your internal strategies — all of it potentially used to train the models that serve your competitors.
