5. Uploaded Documents and Media

When submitting an application or registration form, you may be asked to upload photographs or supporting documents.

These documents are intended for ISI’s admission, identification, academic, or administrative purposes and are not intended to be publicly displayed unless you have specifically agreed to such use or their publication is otherwise appropriately authorized.

When uploading photographs, users should be aware that image files can sometimes contain embedded metadata, including location information (EXIF GPS). Where possible, you may wish to remove unnecessary location metadata before uploading images.

6. Contact and Inquiry Forms

When you contact ISI through our website, we may collect the information entered into the relevant form, together with technical information such as your IP address and browser information.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry, provide requested information, support the admission process, maintain appropriate records, and protect our website against spam, fraud, or misuse.

Where necessary, information may also be shared with trusted service providers that assist ISI with website hosting, communications, technology, data processing, security, or other operational services.

Access to student, applicant, and administrative information should be limited to authorized persons who require such access for legitimate ISI purposes.
