4. What Hygio Is and Is Not

Hygio IS a facility hygiene management platform that enables photo-based cleaning documentation, AI image analysis, task management, and operational reporting.

Hygio IS NOT:

A medical device or health monitoring system
An FDA-approved, CE-marked, or equivalently certified product
A provider of sterilization, infection control, or clinical hygiene certification
A third-party sanitary inspection or audit service
A regulatory compliance guarantee of any kind

AI classification disclaimer: The "Approved (Clean)" / "Rejected (Dirty)" labels generated by Hygio's AI are internal operational quality signals only. They are not third-party inspection certificates, sanitary compliance records, or legally binding hygiene assessments. AI accuracy varies with lighting, camera angle, photo quality, and area type. Hygio does not publish or guarantee a fixed accuracy rate. Customers must not represent Hygio AI scores as certified external audit results.

5. Data Processing — Customer as Data Controller

The Customer is the data controller for all Content uploaded to the Service, including cleaning photos, staff task records, and visitor feedback. We act as the Customer's data processor for this Content.

Customer obligations as data controller: The Customer must inform its employees (field staff and managers) that task completion data, NFC/QR scan logs, and AI-scored performance records are being collected and accessible to management. This obligation exists under applicable data protection law. The Customer must ensure it has a lawful basis for employee performance monitoring. The Customer is responsible for any Content uploaded that inadvertently captures individuals in photographs.

Data Processing Agreement (DPA): By accepting these Terms, the Customer enters into a data processing agreement with us covering Content processing. Customers in the EEA may request a standalone DPA document at app@icitech.com.tr.

6. Employee Monitoring — Customer Responsibilities

Hygio's task tracking and AI scoring features enable monitoring of individual employee cleaning performance. The Customer acknowledges that:

Using these features may constitute employee monitoring under applicable employment and data protection law. The Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding employee monitoring, including informing employees, establishing lawful grounds, and implementing proportionate use. We are not responsible for the Customer's compliance with its own employment law obligations. Customers should consult their own legal counsel regarding employee monitoring compliance in their jurisdiction.

7. Photography in Facility Spaces

The Service requires staff to photograph facility areas including bathrooms, toilets, and washrooms. The Customer is responsible for:

Ensuring staff are trained to capture only facility areas and not individuals. Addressing any instance where a person is captured in a photo in accordance with applicable data protection law. Establishing appropriate retention and access policies for photographic evidence. We process photos only as instructed by the Customer to provide the Service.
