Introduction
At ApiNetWave, we believe privacy shouldn't be complicated. This policy explains how we
handle your personal information when you work with our automated testing framework
development services. We've written this in plain language because we respect your time
and want you to actually understand what we do with your data.
ApiNetWave operates under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and follows
international privacy standards. When you share information with us, you're trusting us
with something valuable — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Information We Collect
Business Information You Provide
We collect information you voluntarily share when requesting our services or
communicating with our team. This includes your name, email address, phone number,
company details, and project requirements. We also gather technical specifications
about your testing environments when relevant to our work.
- Contact details from inquiries and service requests
- Technical requirements and system specifications
- Communication preferences and project timelines
- Billing information for contracted services
- Feedback and testimonials you choose to provide
Technical Data
Our website collects standard technical information like IP addresses, browser types,
and device information. This helps us improve our site performance and understand how
people find and use our services. We don't use this data to identify individuals unless
combined with information you've directly provided.
How We Use Your Information
Primary Purpose: We use your information to provide automated
testing framework development services and maintain our business relationship with
you.
Service Delivery
Developing custom testing solutions, providing technical support, and delivering
project updates according to your requirements.
Communication
Responding to inquiries, sending project notifications, and sharing relevant
technical updates about our services.
Business Operations
Processing payments, maintaining client records, and improving our service
delivery based on client feedback.
Legal Compliance
Meeting Taiwan's PDPA requirements and maintaining records as required by local
business regulations.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your personal information to anyone. That's not our business model, and
it never will be. We only share your information in specific, limited circumstances
that directly support our service delivery or legal obligations.
Service Partners
Sometimes we work with trusted partners to deliver comprehensive testing solutions.
When necessary, we may share relevant project information with these partners, but only
what's needed for the specific work and under strict confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by Taiwan law enforcement, court orders, or
regulatory authorities. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited
from doing so.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, you have several rights regarding your
personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights:
- Access: Request copies of the personal information we hold about
you
- Correction: Ask us to correct or update inaccurate
information
- Deletion: Request deletion of your data (subject to business and
legal requirements)
- Processing Limitations: Ask us to restrict how we use your
information
- Data Portability: Receive your data in a commonly used
format
- Objection: Object to certain types of data processing
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@apinetwave.com with your request.
We'll respond within 15 business days and won't charge you for reasonable requests.
Data Security
We protect your information using industry-standard security measures appropriate for a
technology services company. Our approach combines technical safeguards, physical
security, and administrative procedures to keep your data safe.
Technical Safeguards
We use encryption for data transmission and storage, secure server configurations, and
regular security updates. Our development and testing environments are isolated from
production systems containing client data.
Access Controls
Only authorized team members can access personal information, and only when necessary
for their work. We maintain logs of data access and regularly review permissions to
ensure they remain appropriate.
While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely invulnerable. If
we experience a data security incident that affects your information, we'll notify you
promptly and explain what happened and what we're doing about it.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as needed for business purposes or legal
requirements. Here's our general approach to data retention:
- Active client data: Retained while providing services and for two years after
project completion
- Financial records: Kept for seven years as required by Taiwan business
regulations
- Marketing communications: Stored until you unsubscribe or request deletion
- Technical logs: Automatically deleted after 90 days unless needed for security
purposes
When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it. Some
information may be retained in anonymized form for business analysis and service
improvement.
International Data Transfers
ApiNetWave primarily operates within Taiwan, but some of our technology partners and
service providers are located internationally. When we transfer your data outside
Taiwan, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
These transfers occur only when necessary for service delivery and under contracts that
require the same level of data protection we maintain. We carefully select partners who
demonstrate strong privacy practices and comply with international data protection
standards.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal
requirements, or business operations. When we make significant changes, we'll notify
you via email or through our website before the changes take effect.
Minor updates that don't affect your rights or how we handle your information will be
posted on our website with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review
this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
