Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

At Fladriv, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our web interface design education services. We're based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and we follow local data protection regulations alongside international best practices.

Information We Collect

When you sign up for our programs or browse our site, we gather different types of information. Some you provide directly, and some we collect automatically.

Information You Give Us

This includes details you share when enrolling in courses, contacting us, or creating an account:

  • Your name and contact details like email address and phone number
  • Billing information if you purchase courses or services
  • Educational background and professional experience when relevant to course placement
  • Portfolio work or design samples you submit for review
  • Messages you send through our contact forms or support channels

Automatically Collected Data

Our website collects some technical information to function properly and improve your experience:

  • IP addresses and general location data
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages you visit and time spent on our site
  • Referral sources that brought you to fladriv.com
  • Course progress and completion status for enrolled students

How We Use Your Information

We don't collect data just to have it. Everything we gather serves a specific purpose related to running our education programs and improving what we offer.

Purpose Data Used
Course delivery and administration Name, email, course progress, submissions
Payment processing Billing information, transaction records
Communication about programs Contact details, enrollment status
Website improvement Usage data, technical information
Student support Account details, support history

We also use your information to send important updates about courses you're enrolled in or schedule changes that affect you. If you've opted in, we'll occasionally share news about new programs or resources we think might interest you.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and international standards, we need legitimate reasons to handle your information. Here's what applies to us:

Contract Performance: We process data necessary to deliver the educational services you've signed up for.

Consent: For marketing communications and optional features, we ask for your explicit permission.

Legal Obligations: Some data processing is required by Taiwanese law, particularly for financial records and business operations.

Legitimate Interests: We process certain data to improve our services, prevent fraud, and maintain security.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do work with certain service providers who help us run our education platform.

Service Providers We Work With

  • Payment processors for secure transaction handling
  • Email service providers for course communications
  • Cloud hosting services where course materials are stored
  • Analytics tools to understand how people use our site

These companies are contractually required to protect your data and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us. They can't use your information for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes we're legally required to share information with Taiwanese authorities or in response to valid legal processes. We'll only do this when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our students and staff.

Your Rights and Choices

You have significant control over your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a readable format within 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If any information we have is wrong or outdated, you can ask us to fix it. Most details can be updated through your account dashboard.

Delete Your Data

Request deletion of your personal information. Some data may need to be retained for legal or contractual reasons, but we'll remove everything else.

Opt Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time. You'll still receive essential communications about courses you're enrolled in.

Data Portability

Get your data in a format that lets you transfer it to another service provider if you choose.

Object to Processing

Challenge how we use your information in certain situations, particularly for marketing or legitimate interest purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@fladriv.com. We'll respond within two weeks and complete most requests within 30 days.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is something we take seriously. Our security approach includes both technical and organizational measures.

Technical Protections

  • Encrypted connections for all data transmission
  • Secure password requirements with hashing protocols
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
  • Firewalls and intrusion detection systems
  • Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

Organizational Safeguards

Our staff receives training on data protection principles. We've implemented internal policies that limit who can access student information and how it can be used. All employees sign confidentiality agreements.

While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, no internet transmission is completely secure. We recommend using strong passwords and keeping your login credentials private.

Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it. Different types of data have different retention periods:

Active Student Records: Maintained throughout your enrollment and for three years after course completion to provide transcripts and certificates.

Financial Records: Kept for seven years as required by Taiwanese tax law.

Marketing Data: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

Website Analytics: Aggregated data kept indefinitely, but individual identifiers removed after 26 months.

Support Communications: Maintained for two years to help with ongoing assistance and quality improvement.

After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information so it can no longer identify you.

International Data Transfers

Our primary operations are in Taiwan, but some of our service providers may process data in other countries. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

For transfers outside Taiwan, we use standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or work with providers who maintain adequate data protection standards. Your information receives the same level of protection regardless of where it's processed.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Most are essential for the site to function, while others help us understand how people use our platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies that enable core functionality like login sessions
  • Performance cookies that help us identify technical issues
  • Analytics cookies that show us which pages are most useful
  • Preference cookies that remember your settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how our site works for you.

Children's Privacy

Our programs are designed for adults and professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If we learn that we've gathered data from someone underage without proper parental consent, we'll delete it promptly.

For students aged 16-18, we require parental or guardian consent before enrollment and will include them in communications about the student's progress.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active students by email and post a notice on our website.

The date at the top of this policy shows when it was last revised. We recommend checking back periodically if you want to stay informed about how we're protecting your information.
