Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At AddaDashPortal, we believe privacy should be straightforward, not a maze of legal jargon. This policy explains how we handle your information when you work with us on custom software development projects.

We're based in Taiwan and follow local privacy laws, but we know our clients care about their data regardless of where they're located. This document covers everything you need to know about how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information We Collect

Information You Give Us Directly

When you reach out about a software project or fill out our contact forms, we collect basic business information like your name, email, company details, and project requirements. We also keep records of our conversations, emails, and any documents you share with us during the development process.

Information We Collect Automatically

Our website collects standard web data - your IP address, browser type, pages you visit, and how long you stay. We use this to understand how people use our site and improve the experience. Nothing fancy or intrusive.

Data Type Examples Purpose
Contact Information Name, email, phone, company Project communication and support
Project Data Requirements, specifications, files Software development and delivery
Technical Data IP address, browser info, device type Website functionality and security
Communication Records Emails, meeting notes, chat logs Project coordination and support

How We Use Your Data

We use your information for practical business purposes that directly relate to providing you with software development services:

  • Project Development: Building the software you've hired us to create, managing timelines, and delivering final products
  • Communication: Keeping you updated on project progress, discussing changes, and providing ongoing support
  • Business Operations: Processing payments, maintaining project records, and handling any legal or contractual requirements
  • Service Improvement: Understanding what works well in our processes and where we can do better for future clients
  • Security and Legal: Protecting our systems, preventing fraud, and complying with applicable laws in Taiwan
What We Don't Do: We don't sell your data to third parties, use it for advertising to other people, or share your project details with competitors. Your business information stays with us and the specific team members working on your project.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We only share your information in specific, limited circumstances:

Service Providers We Work With

Sometimes we work with trusted partners for things like cloud hosting, payment processing, or specialized development tools. These companies only get the minimum information needed to do their job, and they're contractually required to protect your data the same way we do.

Legal Requirements

If Taiwan authorities require us to provide information for legal proceedings, tax purposes, or regulatory compliance, we'll share only what's legally necessary. We'll notify you when possible unless prohibited by law.

Business Changes

If our company is sold or merges with another business, your data would transfer to the new owners. We'd make sure they commit to protecting your information according to this privacy policy.

Client Permission: For anything else - like featuring your project as a case study or sharing your feedback as a testimonial - we always ask for your explicit permission first.

Data Security Measures

We take data security seriously because your trust matters to us. Here's what we do to keep your information safe:

Technical Safeguards

  • Encrypted data transmission using industry-standard SSL certificates
  • Secure cloud storage with regular backups and access controls
  • Protected development environments with limited team access
  • Regular security updates and vulnerability monitoring

Operational Security

  • Team members sign confidentiality agreements before accessing client data
  • Access to your project information is limited to people directly working on it
  • Regular security training for all staff members
  • Secure disposal of physical documents and proper data deletion procedures

While we use best practices to protect your data, no system is completely foolproof. If we ever experience a security incident that affects your information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened and what we're doing about it.

Your Privacy Rights

You have several rights regarding your personal data, and we want to make it easy for you to exercise them:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we have about you, including project files and communication records.

Correct Information

Ask us to fix any incorrect or incomplete information in our records.

Delete Your Data

Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal or contractual obligations we have.

Limit Processing

Ask us to restrict how we use your data in certain circumstances.

Data Portability

Get a copy of your data in a format that you can easily transfer to another service provider.

Withdraw Consent

Stop us from using your data for purposes that require your consent, like marketing communications.

How to Exercise These Rights: Send us an email at [email protected] with your request. We'll respond within 30 days and help you through the process. There's no charge for most requests, though we might ask you to verify your identity first.

Data Retention and Deletion

We don't keep your information forever. Here's our approach to data retention:

Project Data

We keep project files, communications, and development records for 7 years after project completion. This helps us provide ongoing support and meets business record requirements under Taiwan law.

Contact Information

If you've only made an inquiry but didn't hire us, we delete your contact details after 2 years unless you've asked us to keep them for future opportunities.

Website Data

Server logs and website analytics data are automatically deleted after 24 months. Cookie data expires according to the timeframes we set for each type.

Requesting Early Deletion

You can ask us to delete your data before these timeframes expire. We'll honor your request unless we need to keep certain information for legal, security, or contractual reasons. If we can't delete everything, we'll explain why and delete what we can.

International Data Transfers

Since we're based in Taiwan but work with clients globally, your data might cross international borders. Here's what that means:

Where Your Data Might Go

We use cloud services that may store data in various locations, including the United States, Singapore, and other countries with strong data protection laws. We also might work with international team members or partners on specific projects.

How We Protect International Transfers

We only transfer data to countries and companies that provide adequate protection for your information. This includes using standard contractual clauses, working with certified providers, or ensuring recipients have equivalent privacy protections.

Your Control: If you have specific requirements about where your data can be stored or processed, let us know when we start working together. We can often accommodate geographic restrictions for sensitive projects.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, but we keep it simple:

Essential Cookies

These make our website work properly - remembering your preferences, keeping you logged in to any client portals, and maintaining security. These are necessary for the site to function.

Analytics Cookies

We use basic analytics to understand how people use our site - which pages are most popular, where visitors come from, and how long they stay. This helps us improve the website experience.

Your Cookie Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies might affect how our site works, but you can safely disable analytics cookies if you prefer.

We don't use advertising cookies, social media tracking, or other invasive tracking technologies. We're more interested in building software than building advertising profiles.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email if we have your contact information, or by posting a notice on our website.

Minor updates - like clarifying existing practices or fixing typos - might not trigger notifications, but we'll always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We believe in transparency about privacy practices. If you ever have questions about how we handle data or want to discuss privacy concerns for your specific project, just ask. Clear communication about privacy builds better business relationships.
