personalized education experiences and improve our services. We use
this data to track your learning progress, provide technical support,
and communicate important updates about your courses.

Data Sharing and Third Parties
We don't sell your personal
information to third parties. However, we may share certain data with
trusted service providers who help us operate our platform and
deliver educational services effectively.
These partners include payment
processors, cloud hosting services, email communication platforms,
and analytics providers. All third-party services we use are required
to maintain appropriate security measures and can only use your data
for the specific purposes we've authorized.
We may also disclose information when
required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a
business transaction like a merger or acquisition. In such cases,
we'll notify you according to applicable legal requirements.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Taiwan's Personal Data
Protection Act and other applicable privacy laws, you have specific
rights regarding your personal information. You can exercise these
rights by contacting us directly.
Access and Correction
Request copies of your personal data
and ask us to correct any inaccurate information in your student
records.
Data Deletion
Ask us to delete your personal
information, subject to legal and contractual obligations we may
have.
Processing Restrictions
Request that we limit how we process
your data in certain circumstances while maintaining your course
access.
Data Portability
Receive your data in a structured
format that you can transfer to another education provider if
desired.
Data Security and Protection
We implement multiple layers of
security to protect your personal information. Our systems use
encryption for data transmission and storage, secure authentication
methods, and regular security audits to identify potential
vulnerabilities.
Access to your personal data is
restricted to authorized staff members who need this information to
provide educational services. All team members receive training on
data protection practices and are bound by confidentiality
agreements.
While we take security seriously, no
system is completely immune to threats. We continuously monitor and
update our security measures, but we also recommend that you use
strong passwords and keep your account information confidential.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your personal information
only as long as necessary to provide educational services and meet
legal obligations. Course records and academic progress data are
typically retained for seven years after program completion, which
aligns with Taiwan's educational record-keeping requirements.
- Active student data is maintained throughout your enrollment
and for two years afterward
- Payment and billing information is kept for seven years to
comply with tax regulations
- Marketing communications data is deleted within two years of
your last interaction
- Technical logs and usage data are automatically deleted after
18 months
When retention periods expire, we
securely delete or anonymize your information. You can also request
earlier deletion of certain data types, though this might affect our
ability to provide some services.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers operate
servers outside Taiwan. When we transfer your data internationally,
we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through standard
contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other approved
mechanisms.
These transfers are necessary to
provide our online learning platform, process payments, and deliver
technical support. We carefully evaluate the privacy practices of
international partners and require them to maintain security
standards equivalent to those required in Taiwan.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy
periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or
legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify
enrolled students by email and post the updated policy on our
website.
We encourage you to review this
policy regularly, especially before providing new personal
information or enrolling in additional courses. Continued use of our
services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised
terms.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January
15, 2025
