PART II – AI USE POLICY
This section is intended to inform clients, partners, website visitors and other interested parties about the key principles governing the responsible, safe and lawful use of Artificial Intelligence tools and functionalities (“AI”) by the Company.
The Company seeks to use AI tools in a lawful, transparent, secure and proportionate manner, in accordance with the applicable EU and national legal framework, including in particular the GDPR, Greek Law 4624/2019, Greek Law 3471/2006 and, where applicable, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on Artificial Intelligence (“EU AI Act”).
The Company’s use of AI is governed, in particular, by the following principles: legality, transparency, data minimisation, security, human oversight, accountability, professional diligence and respect for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
The Company may use approved AI tools, among other things, for drafting or supporting administrative and informational content, organising work, analysing non-sensitive or suitably anonymised/pseudonymised information, supporting marketing content, initial communication support or online assistance and, generally, for improving productivity and process quality.
The Company does not permit the use of non-approved AI tools for corporate work where this entails uncontrolled leakage of data, confidential information or trade secrets. As a rule, uncontrolled uploading of personal data, confidential documents, credentials, contracts or other sensitive business information to public or non-approved AI environments is not permitted.
Where the use of AI tools includes or may include the processing of personal data, the Company applies the principles of the GDPR and, where feasible, seeks to ensure that anonymised or pseudonymised data are used and that only the strictly necessary data are sent to AI environments for the specific purpose.
Where the Company uses customer-facing AI functionalities or provides support through a chatbot or another automated AI solution, it seeks to inform the user clearly that he or she is interacting with AI technology, where required or appropriate, and to provide the possibility of human communication or suitable escalation in material cases.
The Company does not treat AI outputs as infallible or self-sufficient. The use of AI does not replace human judgment, professional review or the provision of specialised professional services by appropriately licensed professionals.
Where the Company uses third-party AI providers or platforms, it seeks to assess, as appropriate, their role as processors or other recipients, the security of their services, their data use terms, the geography of processing, any subprocessors and the necessary contractual safeguards, particularly where international transfers of data outside the EEA may arise.
The Company implements, to the extent reasonable and proportionate, appropriate technical and organisational measures for the safe use of AI tools, such as access control, multi-factor authentication, access restrictions, basic data leakage prevention measures and internal controls.
Any issue concerning the processing of personal data in the context of the Company’s use of AI is subject to the applicable data protection provisions and to the Company’s Data Protection and Privacy Policy. For information or for the exercise of rights, data subjects may contact the Company at info@dmn-group.com and info@dmn-properties.com.

Only persons who have received express authorisation from the Company may communicate with authorities, the media, third parties or the public as representatives of the Company or make public statements regarding its projects, clients, activities or results.
Any information coming to the knowledge of the Company which is not publicly available shall be treated as confidential unless disclosure is permitted or required by law or by contractual obligation.
The Company expects its personnel and partners to comply with applicable law, the public policies posted by the Company and the relevant internal procedures. Any actual or potential conflict of interest must be disclosed to the Company without delay.
B. SOP
This section constitutes a public and concise rendering of the Company’s general framework for managing partners, clients, online services and project assignments. It does not reproduce the internal SOP procedures in full, but informs the public of the key stages in the way the Company operates as a project management and service coordination firm.
The Company operates on the basis of an organised framework for the management of partners, new clients, project assignments, online services, written documentation of critical communications and administrative monitoring of each matter or project it coordinates.
For each new request or project, the Company may request the basic information necessary for initial assessment, communication with the client and evaluation of whether the relevant matter or service can be undertaken.
As part of the initial assessment, the Company may hold a diagnostic appointment or preliminary meeting (in person, by telephone or online) in order to understand the needs, objectives and context of the specific matter and to determine the next steps that may be required.
Following the initial assessment, the Company may send the client a written fee proposal or other relevant document setting out, as applicable, the subject matter, general scope, key terms, stages and financial framework of the proposed engagement.
The substantive commencement of a project or matter ordinarily takes place only after the necessary preconditions have been fulfilled, such as acceptance of the proposal, execution of the relevant agreement and/or assignment instruction and payment of any agreed advance fee, where applicable.
The Company retains the central coordination of each project and selects, where appropriate, the suitable internal or external persons, including licensed professionals, for the support or performance of the necessary work, depending on the nature of the project.
Material updates to the client regarding important stages, critical developments, required documents, pending matters, deliverables or next steps are confirmed or sent in writing by e-mail or another approved means of communication.
Where an online booking system or online appointments are used, the specific terms displayed during the booking process or on the relevant service page shall additionally apply, in particular with regard to cancellations, rescheduling and any refunds.
The Company does not provide, through unauthorised personnel or functions, personal or informal opinions on specialised legal, tax, accounting, technical or other professional matters. Any such recommendations or assessments are, where appropriate, provided by suitably licensed professionals and under the applicable regulatory framework.
Upon completion of the project or relevant service, the Company may notify the client of the result, the completion of the main actions and, where appropriate, proceed to final invoicing and administrative closure of the file.
