Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal data:

Access and Portability

Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you in a structured, machine-readable format. You can export your learning progress, assignments, and account information at any time.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Our infrastructure uses encryption, secure protocols, and regular security audits.

All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption standards. Our container lab environments are isolated and regularly updated with security patches.

Data Retention Policies

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Course completion records are maintained for certification verification, while marketing data is deleted after 3 years of inactivity.

Some of our service providers are located outside Taiwan, which may involve transferring your personal data to countries with different data protection standards. We ensure adequate protection through:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by Taiwan authorities
  • Adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent protection levels
  • Certification schemes and codes of conduct
  • Regular assessments of transfer mechanisms and security measures
