All data transmissions use SSL encryption, and we store information on secure servers with regular security audits. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized staff members who need it for specific job functions.

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have procedures to quickly identify, contain, and assess the impact. We'll notify affected users within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what steps we're taking.

When data reaches its retention limit, we permanently delete it from our systems. Some educational records may be retained longer for accreditation purposes, but we'll always inform you about extended retention.

While our primary operations are based in Taiwan, some of our technical infrastructure and educational partners may be located in other countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers.

We only transfer data to countries with adequate privacy protections or use approved transfer mechanisms like standard contractual clauses. You'll always be informed if your data will be processed outside Taiwan.
