[CLIENT], in its relationship with [LAW FIRM / LAWYER, OAB nº ___], declares that they are aware of and consent to the use of artificial intelligence tools in the provision of legal services:
- Purpose. The AI will support [legal research / drafting / document analysis], without replacing the professional judgment of the lawyer.
- Benefits and limitations. The technology speeds up tasks, but may generate inaccuracies ("hallucinations"); every result is reviewed by the lawyer before use.
- Risks. Risks of inaccuracy and data exposure, mitigated by item 4. The client is aware that submitted documents may contain sensitive personal data — notably relating to health, biometric data, religious belief, political opinion, union membership, sexual life, racial or ethnic origin, and information relating to criminal proceedings —, processed on the basis of art. 11, II, "d", of Lei nº 13.709/2018, and subject to the same technical safeguards described in Section 4.
- Security and confidentiality. Data is processed under professional secrecy and in accordance with the LGPD; the provider does not use it to train models; there are access controls, encryption, and isolation; international processing is governed by the ANPD's Standard Clauses, with storage in Brazil.
- Human review. Human review is ensured, as is the right to interact with a human being at any time.
- Right to refuse. The client may decline to consent, with alternative approaches to be adopted, without prejudice to the defense of their rights.
6.1 Nature of this consent. The consent expressed herein refers to the use of artificial intelligence tools in the provision of legal services, a matter of the lawyer-client relationship and of professional ethics. It does not constitute the legal basis for the processing of personal data, which is grounded in art. 7º, V (performance of a contract) and, with respect to sensitive data, in art. 11, II, "d" (the regular exercise of rights) of Lei nº 13.709/2018.
6.2 Refusal or revocation of this consent entails the adoption of an alternative approach by the lawyer, without prejudice to the continuity of the service, and does not affect the lawfulness of data processing already carried out, nor the processing necessary for the regular exercise of rights in ongoing proceedings.
6.3 Revocation of consent may be expressed at any time, in writing, taking effect upon receipt and without retroactive effect.
