6. Data Retention Periods

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Taiwan regulations.

Active Account Data

While your account is active, we retain your personal information to provide ongoing services. You can update or delete most data directly through your account settings.

When you close your account, we'll delete or anonymize your personal data within 90 days, except for information we're legally required to retain for tax, financial reporting, or dispute resolution purposes (typically 5-7 years under Taiwan commercial law).

Backups and Archives

Data removed from active systems may persist in encrypted backups for up to 180 days before complete deletion. These backups are only accessed for disaster recovery purposes.

7. International Data Transfers

Our primary servers are located in Taiwan, but some service providers we work with may process data in other jurisdictions. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities
  • Verification that receiving countries have adequate privacy protections
  • Additional security measures for sensitive financial information
  • Regular assessments of international partners' privacy practices
