Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

At StreamPulse, we believe privacy isn't just about compliance. It's about building trust through transparency. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our computer vision programming courses and services.

We operate from Taiwan and follow local regulations while maintaining international privacy standards. If something here doesn't make sense, reach out. We'd rather explain than have you guess.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with us. Here's what that actually means in practice.

Information You Give Us Directly

When you sign up for courses or contact us, you provide:

  • Name and email address for account creation
  • Payment details processed through secure third-party providers
  • Educational background if you share it in your profile
  • Questions or feedback you send through our contact forms
  • Project submissions and coursework you upload

Technical Information We Collect Automatically

Our systems log certain information to keep things running smoothly:

  • IP addresses and general location data (city level, not your exact address)
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
  • Course progress and completion rates
  • Error logs when something breaks (so we can fix it)

We don't use tracking pixels in our educational emails. When we send you course updates or newsletters, we can see if you opened them, but that's about it.

How We Use Your Information

Data collection needs a purpose. Here's what we actually do with the information we gather.

Purpose What This Means
Course Delivery Providing access to learning materials, tracking your progress, and issuing certificates
Communication Sending course updates, responding to questions, and sharing relevant educational content
Platform Improvement Understanding which lessons work well and which need refinement based on usage patterns
Payment Processing Handling transactions, refunds, and maintaining financial records as required by law
Security Preventing unauthorized access, detecting abuse, and keeping student data safe

We don't sell your information to third parties. Never have, never will. Our business model is education, not data brokering.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Sometimes we work with other companies to provide our services. Here's who sees what and why.

Service Providers We Work With

  • Payment Processors: They handle credit card transactions. We never see your full card numbers.
  • Email Service: Helps us send course announcements and newsletters. They can't use your email for their own purposes.
  • Cloud Hosting: Your course data lives on secure servers. These providers have strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Analytics Tools: We use privacy-focused analytics to understand course usage without tracking individuals.

When Law Requires Disclosure

We may share information if legally required to do so under Taiwan law, such as responding to valid court orders or protecting against fraud. We'll notify you if this happens unless prohibited by law.

If StreamPulse is acquired or merges with another company, your data would transfer to the new entity. We'd notify you at least 30 days in advance and explain your options.

Your Privacy Rights

You have control over your personal information. These rights are enforceable under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act.

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 15 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

Update your profile information anytime through your account settings, or contact us for help.

Delete Your Account

Request complete deletion of your account and associated data. We'll retain only what's legally required for financial records.

Export Your Work

Download your project submissions, notes, and course progress data in standard formats.

Opt Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails while still receiving essential course communications.

Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your data while maintaining your course access and progress.

To exercise these rights, email us at help@streampulse.life with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within 15 business days.

Data Security and Protection

Security isn't a feature you add at the end. It's built into how we operate from the ground up.

Technical Safeguards

  • Industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Access controls limiting who can view student information
  • Automated backup systems with encrypted storage
  • Multi-factor authentication for administrative access

Organizational Measures

Our team members sign confidentiality agreements and receive privacy training. Access to student data is granted only when necessary for specific job functions. We log all access to sensitive information and review these logs regularly.

Despite our precautions, no system is completely secure. If a data breach occurs, we'll notify affected users within 72 hours and explain what happened, what information was involved, and what we're doing about it.

Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as needed. Here's our retention schedule based on different types of data.

Active Course Period

Full data retention while you're enrolled and actively using our platform.

Three Years Post-Completion

Course materials, certificates, and progress data remain accessible through your account.

Seven Years Financial Records

Payment information and transaction records kept for tax compliance under Taiwan regulations.

Anonymized Analytics

Aggregated usage data with no personal identifiers retained indefinitely to improve our courses.

When you request account deletion, we remove your personal information within 30 days except where legal obligations require longer retention. Financial records stay for seven years as required by Taiwan tax law.

International Data Transfers

StreamPulse operates primarily in Taiwan, but some of our service providers use servers in other countries. When your data crosses borders, we ensure it receives adequate protection.

How We Protect International Transfers

  • Standard contractual clauses with all international vendors
  • Regular audits of third-party security practices
  • Encryption during transfer between regions
  • Preference for providers with Taiwan or comparable privacy standards

If you're accessing our services from outside Taiwan, your information may be transferred to and processed in Taiwan where our primary operations are based. By using our platform, you acknowledge this transfer.

Children's Privacy

Our courses are designed for adult learners and professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years old.

If you're under 18 and interested in our computer vision courses, please have a parent or guardian create the account and supervise your participation. If we discover we've inadvertently collected data from a minor without parental consent, we'll delete it immediately.

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies to make the site work properly. Here's what's actually running.

Essential Cookies

These keep you logged in and remember your course progress. You can't disable these without breaking the platform, but they don't track you across other websites.

Analytics Cookies

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand which lessons work well and where students get stuck. These don't identify you personally and don't follow you around the internet.

You can configure your browser to reject cookies, though this may limit some functionality. Most browsers allow you to view and delete cookies individually.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy practices change as technology changes. When we update this policy, we'll notify you through email and post the new version on our website at least 30 days before changes take effect.

Significant changes that affect how we use your data will require your explicit consent before we proceed. You can always review previous versions of this policy by contacting us.

The date at the top shows when we last modified this document. We maintain an archive of previous versions for reference.
