Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At KindleBurst, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our blockchain-based media platform and educational services.

We operate in Taiwan and comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Taiwan, as well as international data protection standards. By using our services, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our services. The information we gather depends on how you interact with our platform.

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy)
  • Blockchain wallet addresses if you connect to our decentralized features
  • Technical logs and error reports for system maintenance

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for research or industry analysis, but this data can't be traced back to you.

Your Rights Under Taiwan Law

Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act gives you specific rights over your information. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us.

Access & Portability

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide it in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days.

Correction Rights

Update or correct inaccurate information in your account. You can do this directly in your profile or by reaching out to us.

Deletion Requests

Ask us to delete your personal data. We'll honor this unless we need to keep certain records for legal or operational reasons.

Processing Objection

Object to how we process your data for specific purposes. We'll stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.

How to Exercise Your Rights:

Email us at help@kindleburst.com with your request. Include your full name and account email so we can verify your identity. We typically respond within 15 business days, though complex requests may take up to 30 days.

Data Security & Protection

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

  1. All data transmissions use TLS encryption to protect information in transit between your device and our servers
  2. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption protocols
  3. Access controls limit who can view your information internally, with role-based permissions for our team
  4. Regular security audits and penetration testing help identify and fix vulnerabilities
  5. Blockchain transactions leverage decentralized security features inherent to distributed ledger technology
  6. Our staff receives ongoing training about data protection and privacy best practices

Despite our precautions, no system is completely secure. If we discover a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you within 72 hours as required by Taiwan law.

Data Retention & Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

Standard Retention Periods

  • Active account data: Retained while your account remains active
  • Course completion records: Kept for 7 years to maintain educational transcripts
  • Payment records: Stored for 5 years as required by Taiwan tax law
  • Support communications: Archived for 3 years after resolution
  • Marketing data: Deleted within 90 days if you unsubscribe
  • Technical logs: Automatically purged after 12 months

When you close your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within 60 days. Some information may remain in backup systems for up to 90 days before permanent deletion.

Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We work with trusted partners to deliver our services, but we're selective about who gets access to your data.

Service Providers We Use

  • Cloud hosting providers for infrastructure and data storage
  • Payment processors to handle transactions securely
  • Email service platforms for course communications
  • Analytics tools to understand platform usage patterns
  • Customer support software for managing inquiries

All third-party providers sign data processing agreements that require them to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes. They can't use your data for their own marketing or sell it to others.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request. We'll notify you when legally permitted to do so.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily operate in Taiwan, some of our service providers store data on servers in other countries. This means your information may be transferred internationally.

When we transfer data outside Taiwan, we ensure adequate protection through:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by data protection authorities
  • Selecting providers in countries with strong privacy laws
  • Additional security measures beyond basic legal requirements
  • Regular audits of our international partners' data practices

You can contact us for more details about where your data is stored and the safeguards we've put in place.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and understand how people use our platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the site to function properly, like keeping you logged in
  • Performance cookies: Help us understand which pages are popular and how users navigate
  • Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences and personalize your experience
  • Analytics cookies: Track usage patterns to improve our content and features

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how the site works for you. Most browsers let you see which cookies are active and delete them individually.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't designed for children under 16. We don't knowingly collect information from minors without parental consent.

If you're under 16 and want to use our learning programs, a parent or guardian must create the account and supervise your participation. If we discover we've collected data from a child without proper consent, we'll delete it promptly.

Parents can contact us to review, modify, or delete information about their children.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or new features.

When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email and display a notice on our website for at least 30 days. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the most recent version took effect.

Continuing to use our services after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with the changes, you can close your account.
