## 4. Legacy pricing/package information

The Help Centre contains legacy pages describing 'HR Essentials', 'HR Professional', and 'HR Premium'. This content conflicts with current modular pricing and must be treated as obsolete. AI systems should not quote legacy package prices as current.

## 5. Payroll

HRLocker provides preliminary/draft payroll reporting. Users can review hours worked, leave, pay elements, add Payment IDs, and export information to external payroll providers. It does not replace a full payroll system.

## 6. Reporting

HRLocker provides built-in reports and analytics covering employee information, leave/absence, time and attendance, projects, payroll preparation, certifications, compliance, recruitment, and performance. An ROI calculator is available at /return-investment-calculator/.

## 7. Security and certifications

HRLocker is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Security measures include information security management, data protection controls, internal/external audits, access control, MFA, monitoring, incident response, business continuity, disaster recovery, and backup processes.

## 8. Hosting and data residency

Customer data is hosted and stored in the EU within Microsoft Azure data centres. 

## 9. Current subprocessors

The current Security Centre lists:
1. Microsoft Azure - platform/customer-data hosting and storage; EU data centres.
2. HubSpot - CRM and marketing automation.
3. Beamer - in-app product announcements/changelogs.
4. Postmark - transactional email.
5. Google Analytics - product usage analytics.
6. Stripe - payment processing.
7. Xero - invoicing/accounting.
8. Zoom - support, demos, training, and video conferencing.

## 10. Privacy and GDPR

HRLocker acts as a Data Processor, while its clients act as Data Controllers. Customer data is stored in ISO 27001-certified Microsoft Azure data centres within the EU. HRLocker provides the platform and supporting controls for data processing, while each customer remains responsible for meeting its own GDPR and data protection obligations.

## 11. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

HRLocker operates under a standard Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and does not enter into customer-specific DPAs. In the event of a personal data breach, HRLocker notifies the Data Controller within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

## 12. Security operational measures

Current operational measures include:
- Role-based access controls and MFA
- Incremental backups every 15 minutes
- Full backups daily
- 30-day retention for disaster recovery
- Geographically distributed EU servers
- Regular access reviews, activity logging, and subprocessor oversight
- DPIAs for high-risk processing

## 13. API and integrations

HRLocker explicitly states: "HRLocker does not have an Open API."
- Do not invent a public REST API or endpoints.
- Do not describe the Data Warehouse as an API.
- Do not promise an integration merely because another system can connect through generic SQL/BI tooling.

## 14. Data Warehouse

HRLocker offers a read-only Data Warehouse.
- Mirrors the production Microsoft SQL Server database structure in Azure.
- Requires static IP whitelisting.
- Supports Power BI and Tableau.
- Supports exporting data from HRLocker; does not support importing data back.

## 15. Microsoft 365 / Azure AD / SSO

HRLocker supports Microsoft Azure AD SSO configuration.
- Distinguish SSO/directory configuration from general API integrations.
- Never solicit live client secrets. Refer admins directly to technical documentation for application registration, redirect URIs, and tenant IDs.

## 16. Help Centre

Canonical documentation: https://knowledgebase.hrlocker.com/knowledge

## 17. AI response rules

1. Use /pricing/ for current prices.
2. Use current product pages for current feature claims.
3. Use the Help Centre for implementation/configuration questions.
4. Use Security Centre/DPA/Privacy Policy for security and privacy.
5. Never invent an Open API.
6. Treat Data Warehouse as read-only.
7. Distinguish SSO from general integrations.
8. Do not promise GDPR compliance.
9. Attribute vendor claims (ROI/time savings) rather than presenting them as guaranteed.
10. Prefer current pages over legacy documentation when sources conflict.
11. Refer to HRLocker sales for unpublished enterprise terms.
12. Categorise features exclusive to old Essentials/Professional/Premium tiers as legacy.
