Last Updated: March 15, 2025
At FlowBitNetCore, we understand that your privacy matters. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you work with our IT testing and process improvement services. We're committed to being transparent about our practices and giving you control over your data.
Information We Collect
Business Contact Information
When you reach out to us or engage our services, we collect basic business details like your name, company, email address, and phone number. We also gather information about your testing challenges and technical requirements during our initial consultations.
Project-Related Data
During our work together, we may access technical specifications, system configurations, and testing results. This helps us improve your testing processes and deliver better outcomes for your projects.
Website Usage Information
Our website collects standard information like IP addresses, browser types, and pages you visit. We use this to understand how people find and use our services, which helps us improve our online experience.
How We Use Your Information
- Delivering IT testing and process improvement services tailored to your needs
- Communicating about your projects, updates, and technical recommendations
- Improving our service offerings based on client feedback and common challenges
- Sending relevant industry insights and updates about testing best practices
- Maintaining accurate records for project continuity and quality assurance

Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data in these specific situations:
Service Providers
We work with trusted partners for hosting, email services, and project management tools. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and only process data as needed to support our services.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by Taiwan law, court orders, or to protect our legal rights and those of our clients.
Business Transitions
If FlowBitNetCore undergoes a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new entity, but the same privacy protections would continue to apply.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and our own commitment to transparency, you have several important rights regarding your personal information:
Access Your Data
You can request a copy of all personal information we have about you and your business interactions with us.
Correct Information
If any of your information is outdated or incorrect, you can ask us to update or fix it promptly.
Delete Your Data
You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal or contractual obligations we may have.
Limit Processing
You can ask us to restrict how we use your information while we address any concerns or disputes.
Data Portability
You can request your data in a format that allows you to transfer it to another service provider if needed.
Opt-Out Options
You can unsubscribe from our communications at any time while maintaining our professional service relationship.
Data Security and Protection
We take protecting your information seriously and use multiple layers of security to keep your data safe:
Technical Safeguards
All data transmission uses SSL encryption, and our systems are protected by firewalls and regular security updates. We conduct quarterly security reviews and maintain backup systems to prevent data loss.
Access Controls
Only authorized team members can access client information, and all access is logged and monitored. We use strong authentication methods and limit data access to what's necessary for each person's role.
Physical Security
Our office and server facilities use controlled access systems, surveillance, and environmental controls to protect physical equipment and stored data.
Incident Response
If a security incident occurs, we have procedures in place to respond quickly, assess the impact, and notify affected clients within 72 hours as required by Taiwan regulations.
Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as necessary for business purposes and legal requirements. Here's our general retention schedule:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Project Files and Technical Data | 5 years after project completion | Quality assurance, warranty support, reference materials |
| Business Contact Information | 3 years after last interaction | Relationship management, future collaboration opportunities |
| Financial Records | 7 years after final payment | Tax compliance, audit requirements |
| Website Analytics Data | 2 years from collection | Website improvement, user experience optimization |
| Email Communications | 3 years after last exchange | Project continuity, dispute resolution |
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information unless legal requirements or ongoing business relationships require longer retention.
International Data Transfers
While we primarily operate in Taiwan, some of our service providers and tools may process data in other countries. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:
- We only work with providers who meet international data protection standards
- Data processing agreements include specific privacy and security requirements
- We regularly review and audit our international partners' practices
- All transfers comply with Taiwan's cross-border data transfer regulations
