Conflicts of interest
We don't audit systems we built, and we disclose any relationship that could color the work. If a genuine conflict exists, we decline the engagement rather than caveat it.
Trust & Safety at iDharma isn't about the people we audit — it's the standard we hold ourselves to. An audit is only worth anything if the auditor is independent, discreet, and honest. So those aren't features we advertise; they're how we operate.
None of them is optional, and each is designed in — not layered over a process that doesn't earn it.

We don’t build or sell the AI we assess, and we don’t sell the fixes we’d recommend.
We’re paid to assess your system honestly against a published standard — not to reach a particular conclusion.
We disclose any relationship that could color the work, and if a genuine conflict exists, we decline the engagement rather than caveat it.

Access is limited to what the audit needs, handled under confidentiality, and retained no longer than necessary — the specifics are in our Privacy Policy. We never reuse it to train or build products.
The report is yours and stays confidential to you. We don't publish your results, name you as a client, or share your findings without your written consent.
For an auditor, the bar is integrity, not just technical legality. These are off the table — permanently.
Dark patterns, hidden costs, or a hard-to-find way to reach a human.
Manufacturing risk to sell a bigger tier, or softening it to win a logo.
Your systems and results are never a product we resell or train on.
A report that reads clean while burying what matters.
Fake badges, invented credentials, or claimed accreditations we don't hold.
Grading our own homework, or anyone else's we have a stake in.
Two clear paths. Both are monitored, and both can be raised in confidence.
If something about an audit, a finding, or our conduct doesn't sit right — a question of independence, accuracy, or integrity — tell us and we'll look into it.

A fuller vulnerability-disclosure policy is being published; until then, this section governs. Nothing here is a waiver of rights or a guarantee of legal safe harbor — it's our good-faith commitment to work with researchers who act responsibly.
Independent, confidential, and evidence-based — the way a trustworthy read on your AI has to be.
