Trust Portal

Trust & Security

At Smartreview AI, security, privacy, compliance and transparency come first. Buyers rely on our Trust-IQ Score™ to evaluate software vendors, so we hold our own platform to the same standard.

This portal explains how we protect your information, where each framework stands, and what changes as our programs mature.

Responsible AI

AI you can check

Transparency

We tell you when AI is involved and how. The Trust-IQ Score™ arithmetic is published, every point traces to a verified review or tested evidence, and your data never trains third-party AI models.

Fairness & bias mitigation

Every vendor is assessed against the same published criteria. Reviews are weighted by verified role, and payment never changes a score or ranking.

Accountability

Each AI system has a named owner. Scoring model changes are approved before release, and score-affecting events are logged.

Safety & reliability

AI features follow our secure development practices and are tested for accuracy, resilience and misuse such as fake reviews.

Human oversight

A person can review any AI output that affects a score, handle disputes and correct a result.

FAQ

Questions from procurement and risk teams

When will you hold ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2?

Both programs are in progress. We will publish the ISO/IEC 27001 certificate here once an accredited certification body issues it, and share the SOC 2 report under NDA once an independent CPA firm completes it.

Do you sign a Data Processing Agreement?

Yes. Our DPA covers GDPR Article 28 terms and Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers. Request it from privacy@smartreviewai.io.

Where is my data stored?

With our cloud hosting providers. Data residency details and the subprocessor list are available on request.

Is my data used to train third-party AI models?

No. We do not use customer data or partner audit evidence to train third-party AI models.

What happens if there is a breach?

We follow a written incident response plan. Affected customers are notified without undue delay, and regulators within the deadlines the law sets, including 72 hours under GDPR and 6 hours to CERT-In for reportable incidents in India.

Can partners see who reviewed them?

Partners see verified review content and aggregate results. Reviewer identity verification data is used only to authenticate the review.
