3. Our Role in Processing Information
ISR may act as a personal information controller when handling information necessary to operate customer accounts, process subscriptions, communicate with customers, and administer the platform.
When processing guest feedback, survey responses, and certain staff activity records on behalf of subscribing businesses, ISR generally acts as a personal information processor.
The subscribing business determines the purpose and lawful basis for collecting and using that information.

6. Payment Processing
ISR uses authorized third-party payment providers to process purchases, subscription payments, refunds, and recurring billing.
Depending on the payment method and availability, these providers may include PayPal, Xendit, or other providers disclosed during checkout.
A provider is used only when its payment method has been activated and made available to customers.
Payment providers may collect payment credentials, billing details, transaction identifiers, and fraud-prevention information according to their own privacy policies.
ISR does not intentionally collect or store complete payment card numbers or card security codes on its own servers.
We retain payment references and billing records needed for account management, refunds, disputes, and legal compliance.

For recurring subscriptions, we may store subscription identifiers, billing intervals, renewal dates, payment status, and payment-provider references.
Payment providers may retain authorization information or payment tokens necessary to process future subscription charges.
Customers may cancel recurring subscriptions according to our Terms and Conditions and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
8. Guest Feedback and QR Interactions
When a guest scans an ISR-powered QR code, the platform may record the QR location, time of interaction, page activity, and feedback voluntarily provided.
Negative feedback may trigger notifications to authorized personnel of the subscribing business.
The business receiving feedback is responsible for explaining its use of guest information and meeting applicable privacy requirements.
ISR does not sell guest feedback or personal information.
9. AI-Assisted Features
Certain features may transmit customer-provided images, text, or audio to authorized AI service providers, including OpenAI, to generate requested results.
Customers should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information and must ensure they have the right to use uploaded materials.
