Korean Residents: In compliance with the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), we obtain explicit consent before collecting sensitive personal information. You have the right to refuse consent, though this may limit access to certain services.
How We Use Your Data
Your information serves specific purposes that help us deliver quality education and maintain our platform. We don't use your data for purposes beyond what's outlined here.
Educational Services
We process your information to provide and improve our technical analysis courses. This includes sending course materials, tracking your progress, issuing certificates, and personalizing your learning experience based on your skill level and interests.
Communication
We'll contact you about course updates, schedule changes, and important announcements related to programs you've enrolled in. You'll also receive responses to your inquiries and technical support when needed.
Platform Improvement
Anonymous usage data helps us understand which course materials work best and where students might struggle. We analyze patterns to refine our curriculum and fix technical issues that affect learning quality.
Legal Compliance
Sometimes we need to process data to meet legal obligations in South Korea, including tax reporting, fraud prevention, and responding to lawful requests from authorities.
| Purpose | Legal Basis | Data Used |
|---|---|---|
| Course delivery and enrollment | Contractual necessity | Name, email, payment info, progress data |
| Platform improvement | Legitimate interest | Usage patterns, anonymized analytics |
| Marketing communications | Consent (opt-in) | Email, communication preferences |
| Legal compliance | Legal obligation | Transaction records, identity verification |
Data Storage and Security
Protecting your information is something we take seriously. We've implemented multiple security measures, though no system can ever be completely foolproof.
Technical Safeguards
Our servers use industry-standard encryption protocols for data transmission and storage. All payment processing happens through certified third-party providers who maintain PCI-DSS compliance. We regularly update our security systems and conduct vulnerability assessments to stay ahead of potential threats.
Access Controls
Only authorized team members can access personal information, and they're trained on proper data handling procedures. We use role-based access controls, meaning staff members only see the data necessary for their specific job functions.
Physical Security
Our primary servers are located in secure data centers within South Korea with 24/7 monitoring, fire suppression systems, and restricted physical access. Backup systems are maintained in geographically separate locations.
Data Breach Protocol: In the unlikely event of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected individuals within 72 hours as required by Korean law and take immediate steps to mitigate any harm.
Your Rights
You have significant control over your personal information. Korean privacy law gives you several rights, and we've made it straightforward to exercise them.
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a readable format within 10 business days.
Correction Rights
Update or correct inaccurate information through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.
Deletion Rights
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements. We'll process deletion requests within 30 days.
Processing Restrictions
Limit how we process your data while maintaining your account. Useful if you're disputing data accuracy or questioning processing legality.
Data Portability
Receive your data in a machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider if desired.
Withdraw Consent
Revoke previously given consent for marketing communications or optional data processing at any time.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Send requests to contact@nodebridgecom.com with "Privacy Rights Request" in the subject line. Include your full name, registered email address, and specific request details. We'll verify your identity before processing requests to protect against unauthorized access.
Data Retention Periods
We keep your information only as long as necessary for legitimate purposes or legal requirements.
Active Students
While you're enrolled in courses, we maintain your complete profile and learning history. This includes course progress, certificates earned, and communication records. You need this data to access materials and continue learning.
After Course Completion
Educational records are retained for five years after course completion. This allows you to retrieve certificates and access reference materials. Transaction records are kept for seven years to comply with Korean tax law.
Inactive Accounts
Accounts with no activity for three consecutive years are considered dormant. We'll send notification before deleting the account, giving you 90 days to reactivate if desired. After deletion, we only retain minimal records required by law.
Marketing Data
If you've subscribed to marketing communications but haven't enrolled in courses, we'll keep your contact information for two years. You can unsubscribe anytime through email links or by contacting us directly.
International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored and processed within South Korea. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which means limited data transfers may occur.
Transfer Safeguards
When data crosses borders, we use standard contractual clauses approved by Korean authorities. Our international partners must maintain security standards equivalent to those required in South Korea. We regularly audit these relationships to ensure compliance.
Your Rights During Transfers
International transfers don't change your privacy rights. You maintain the same access, correction, and deletion rights regardless of where data is temporarily processed. If you have concerns about specific transfers, contact our privacy team for details.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy practices evolve as technology and regulations change. We update this policy periodically to reflect new practices or legal requirements.
Significant changes will be announced through email and prominent website notices at least 30 days before taking effect. Minor updates like clarifications or formatting changes happen without notification, though we always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
Continuing to use our platform after policy changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you can close your account and request data deletion.
