We may disclose information when legally required by Taiwan authorities, to protect our rights, or in response to valid legal processes. This happens rarely, and we'll notify you unless prohibited by law.

Your Rights and Choices

Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us directly.

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your information. This includes encryption during transmission, secure storage practices, and regular security audits.

  • Encrypted database storage with regular backups
  • Access controls limiting who can view personal information
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Employee training on data protection practices

While we take security seriously, no system is completely invulnerable. If a breach affects your data, we'll notify you promptly and take immediate steps to mitigate harm.

International Data Transfers

Our primary operations are based in Taiwan, but some service providers operate servers in other jurisdictions. When data leaves Taiwan, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through contractual agreements and compliance frameworks.

Data transferred internationally receives the same level of protection as required under Taiwan law. We regularly review transfer mechanisms to ensure ongoing compliance.

Children's Privacy

Our educational platform is designed for adult learners and business professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. If we learn that we've inadvertently collected data from a minor, we'll delete it promptly.

Data Retention Periods

We keep your information only as long as necessary for service delivery and legal compliance. Different types of data have different retention schedules based on operational needs and regulatory requirements.

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Financial records are retained for seven years per Taiwan tax law requirements.
