1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Platform handles personally identifiable information collected when you use any of our services. It does not apply to external websites linked from the Platform, nor does it apply to individuals or organizations that are not commissioned by or involved in the management of the Platform.

2. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data

When you visit the Platform or use the functional services we provide, we may ask you to supply necessary personal data depending on the nature of the service, and we will process and use such data only within the scope of the specific purposes notified to you. The Platform will not use your personal data for any other purpose without your written consent or unless required by applicable laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

When you register as a member, the Platform will retain information you provide, such as your name, email address, and contact details. When you use features that require authorization, the server will automatically record relevant activities, including the IP address of the device you use, access time, browser type, and browsing and click records. These logs are used to improve the Platform’s services and to audit and enhance security. The records are for internal use only and will never be disclosed externally.

To provide accurate services, we may compile statistics and analyses based on the information collected. The results may be presented as aggregated data or descriptive text. Where necessary, we may publish such statistics and descriptions, but they will not involve any data that can identify specific individuals.

3. Data Protection

The Platform’s servers are equipped with various information security facilities and necessary protective measures, including but not limited to firewalls, antivirus software, database synchronization and off-site backups, as well as secure transmission and high-level encryption mechanisms. We adopt strict protective measures to safeguard the Platform and your personal data. Only authorized personnel may access your personal data, and all such personnel are bound by confidentiality agreements. Any breach of confidentiality obligations will result in legal consequences.

When it is necessary to outsource services to other parties for business purposes, the Platform will require them to comply strictly with confidentiality obligations and will take necessary steps to ensure that they do so.

Exceptions may include but are not limited to:

1. Situations where we have obtained your written consent.
2. Cases explicitly required by law.
3. Situations necessary to protect your life, body, freedom, or property.
4. Cases where data is used for statistical or academic research in a manner that does not identify any specific individual.
5. Situations where a user’s conduct has caused harm to other users or to the Platform, and legal action must be taken by the Platform.
