Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
We understand your personal information matters. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it. No legal jargon—just straight answers about your data.
Who We Are
DevCoreCast operates from Taiwan and provides educational programs focused on trading psychology and discipline. When you interact with our website or programs, we collect certain information to deliver our services and improve your learning experience.
Our registered address is No. 383, Section 1, Wenxin Road, Nantun District, Taichung City, Taiwan 408. For privacy-related questions, reach us at help@devcorecast.com or call +886920108785.
Information We Collect
We're transparent about what we gather. Here's the breakdown:
Information You Give Us Directly
- Contact details: Name, email address, phone number when you register or reach out
- Program enrollment data: Educational background, learning goals, payment information
- Communication records: Messages you send through our contact forms or support channels
- Profile information: Any additional details you choose to share in your student profile
Information Collected Automatically
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system
- Usage patterns: Pages visited, time spent on sections, navigation paths through our site
- Learning progress: Course completion rates, quiz results, participation in program activities
- Cookies and tracking: Small files that help us recognize returning visitors and remember preferences
How We Use Your Information
Your data serves specific purposes. We don't collect things just to have them sitting around.
Core Service Delivery
We use your information to run our educational programs—processing enrollments, tracking progress, sending course materials, and communicating updates about your learning journey. Without this data, we literally can't provide the service you signed up for.
Communication and Support
When you have questions or need help, we use your contact details to respond. We also send program-related updates, schedule changes, and educational resources relevant to your enrollment.
Improvement and Analysis
We analyze usage patterns to understand which teaching methods work and where students struggle. This helps us refine content and create better learning experiences. All analysis happens at an aggregate level when possible.
Legal and Administrative Requirements
Sometimes we need to process data for legal compliance, fraud prevention, or to enforce our terms of service. This includes maintaining records as required by Taiwan education and business regulations.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We're careful about who sees your information. Here's when and why we share data:
Service Providers
We work with companies that help run our platform—payment processors, email services, hosting providers, and analytics tools. These partners can only use your data to deliver services for us, and they're bound by confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements
If law enforcement or regulatory authorities request information through proper legal channels, we may need to comply. We also might share data to protect our rights, investigate fraud, or respond to legal proceedings.
Business Transfers
In the unlikely event DevCoreCast merges with another company or sells assets, your information may transfer as part of that transaction. You'd be notified if this happens, and the new entity would still need to honor this privacy policy.
What We Don't Do
We don't sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers. We don't share your learning records with employers without explicit permission. We don't use your data for purposes unrelated to our educational services.
Data Security Measures
Protecting your information isn't optional for us. We implement multiple layers of security:
- Encryption: All data transmission uses industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Payment information receives additional PCI-compliant protection.
- Access controls: Only authorized staff can access personal data, and only when necessary for their role. We maintain strict internal policies about data handling.
- Infrastructure security: Our servers use firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular security audits. We keep systems updated with the latest patches.
- Backup and recovery: Regular backups ensure data availability while maintaining security during the backup process.
Despite these measures, no system is completely secure. While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If you notice suspicious activity, contact us immediately.
Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your personal information. Here's what you can do:
Access Your Data
Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days in a readable format.
Correct Inaccuracies
If your information is wrong or outdated, ask us to fix it. You can update many details directly through your student account.
Delete Your Information
Request deletion of your personal data. Note that we may need to retain certain records for legal compliance or to complete transactions you initiated.
Restrict Processing
Ask us to limit how we use your data while we address your concerns about accuracy or processing legitimacy.
Object to Processing
You can object to certain uses of your information, particularly for marketing purposes. We'll stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.
Data Portability
Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.
How to Exercise These Rights
Email help@devcorecast.com with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. There's no fee for reasonable requests, though we may charge for excessive or repetitive requests.
Data Retention Periods
We don't keep information longer than necessary. Different types of data have different retention schedules:
- Active student records: Maintained throughout your enrollment and for three years after completion to support alumni services and credential verification.
- Financial records: Kept for seven years as required by Taiwan tax and accounting regulations.
- Marketing communications: Maintained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Website analytics: Aggregated data retained indefinitely; individual user data deleted after 26 months.
- Support correspondence: Kept for two years to track issue resolution and service quality.
After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. Some data may persist in backup systems for up to 90 additional days before permanent deletion.
International Data Transfers
Our primary operations are in Taiwan, but some service providers operate from other countries. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities
- Adequacy decisions recognizing similar privacy protections
- Certification schemes ensuring data protection standards
If you're accessing our services from outside Taiwan, understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in Taiwan, which may have different privacy laws than your home country.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our site work properly and understand how people use it.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional—remembering your login, maintaining security, and enabling core features. You can't opt out of these without breaking the site.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand which content works and where users struggle. We use this to improve the learning experience.
Preference Cookies
Remember your settings and choices so you don't have to configure things every visit.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent some features from working properly. You can typically find cookie controls in your browser's privacy or security settings.
Children's Privacy
Our programs are designed for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years old. If you're a parent and believe your child provided us with personal information, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.
While some younger individuals might be interested in trading psychology, they need parental consent and supervision to participate in our programs.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy practices evolve as technology and regulations change. We may update this policy periodically to reflect new practices or legal requirements.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify enrolled students via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. We'll also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
Continued use of our services after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with changes, you can close your account before they take effect.
Taiwan-Specific Information
As a Taiwan-based organization, we comply with the Personal Data Protection Act and related regulations. This includes:
- Obtaining proper consent before collecting personal information
- Limiting data collection to what's necessary for stated purposes
- Implementing security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of data
- Respecting individuals' rights to access and correct their information
- Notifying authorities and affected individuals of data breaches when required
If you have concerns about how we handle your data under Taiwan law, you can file a complaint with the National Development Council or other relevant authorities.
