  • verifying users' identity and eligibility to provide transportation or deliveries, including through reviews of background checks, where permitted by law, to help prevent use of our services by unsafe stylists and/or customer/ clients.

    In certain regions, this includes Isra’s  features, which prompts stylists and customer/ clients to share a selfie before going online to help ensure that the stylist or customer/ client  using the app matches the Isra account we have on file. Where permitted by law, this also includes performing facial verification of photographs submitted by users, or collected from public databases, to prevent identity-borrowing or to verify users’ identities.
  • using device, location, user profile, usage, and other data to prevent, detect, and combat fraud. This includes identifying fraudulent accounts or uses of our services, preventing use of our services by unauthorized stylists or customer/ clients, verifying user identities in connection with certain payment methods, and preventing and combating unauthorized access to users’ accounts.
  • using user ratings, reported incidents, and other feedback to encourage compliance with our guidelines and as grounds for deactivating users with low ratings or who otherwise violated such guidelines in certain countries.
  • sharing information regarding serious stylist or customer/ client safety incidents or compliance with local regulations with third parties, including other companies who enable users to request or provide appointments or appointment services, or intermediaries who collect and report such information for multiple companies, to prevent stylists or customer/ client s who may pose a safety risk to the platform or its users from using Isra’s or those other companies’ services. We may also share with third parties, including those affected by such incidents, whether the incidents result in account deactivation.
  • using ratings, usage and other data to prevent matching of customer/ clients and stylists for whom there is higher risk of conflict (for instance, because one user previously gave the other a one-star rating).

We may also inform users about products and services offered by Isra partners. For example, we may provide recommendations, promotions, or ads for Isra partners based on users’ past appointment orders. Although we inform users about products and services offered by Isra partners, we do not sell users’ personal data to, or share it with, such partners or others for purposes of their own direct marketing or advertising, except with users’ consent.

We may use the data we collect, including in combination with advertising partners’ data, to personalize and improve the marketing communications (including ads) that we send on and off Isra’s apps and websites, including based on user location, use of Isra’s services, and user preferences and settings. For example, we share user data (such as hashed email address, usage information, and device or user identifiers) with Facebook and TikTok to personalize and improve our ads for Isra’s services.

9. Automated decision-making

We use personal data to make automated decisions relating to use of our services. This includes:

  • matching available stylists and customer/ client s to users requesting services. Users can be matched based on availability, proximity, and other factors such as likelihood to accept an appointment based on their past behavior or preferences. Please see here for further information about our matching process.
  • determining user ratings, and deactivating users with low ratings. However, in the European Union or where otherwise required by law, such deactivation occurs only after human review and/or the possibility to appeal. 
  • flagging users who are identified as having engaged in fraud, unsafe activity, or other activities that may harm Isra, its users, and others. In some cases, such as when a user is determined to be abusing Isra’s referral program or has submitted fraudulent documents, such behavior may result in automatic deactivation, or in the European Union or where otherwise required by law, deactivation after human review.
  • using stylist location information, and communications between customer/ clients and stylists, to identify cancellation fees earned or induced through fraud. For example, if we determine by using such information that a stylist is delaying a customer/ client service in order to induce a cancellation, we will not charge the customer/ client a cancellation fee and will adjust the amounts paid to the stylist to omit such a fee. To object to such an adjustment, please contact Isra customer support.
  • Using stylist data (such as location, rating and gender) and customer/ client data (such as rating, origin and destination) to help avoid pairings of users that may result in increased risk of conflict.
