Information We Collect

When you use our weekly budgeting platform, we collect different types of information to provide you with personalized financial planning services. This helps us understand your spending patterns and create meaningful budget recommendations.

• Personal identification information including name, email address, and contact details
• Financial data such as income sources, expense categories, and spending habits
• Usage information about how you interact with our budgeting tools and features
• Device and browser information for technical optimization and security purposes
• Communication preferences and feedback you provide about our services

We only collect information that's necessary for delivering effective weekly budgeting guidance. You have control over what financial details you choose to share with us.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal and financial information helps us create customized weekly budget plans that actually work for your lifestyle. We take this responsibility seriously and use your data thoughtfully.

We analyze spending trends to suggest better ways to allocate your weekly budget. This might include identifying areas where you could save money or recommending adjustments to your financial goals. We also use aggregated, anonymized data to enhance our platform's effectiveness for all users.

Your email address is used for account-related communications, weekly budget summaries, and occasional educational content about personal finance. You can adjust these preferences anytime through your account settings.

Data Protection and Security

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your financial information. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.

• SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Regular security audits and penetration testing by third-party specialists
• Access controls limiting employee access to your personal information
• Automated monitoring systems that detect unusual account activity
• Secure data centers with physical and digital access restrictions

We maintain backup systems to prevent data loss, but these backups follow the same strict security protocols as our primary systems. Our team receives regular training on privacy best practices and data handling procedures.

Information Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information to anyone. That's a firm commitment. However, we do work with trusted service providers who help us deliver our budgeting platform effectively.

These partners include cloud hosting providers, email service platforms, and analytics tools that help us understand how people use our budgeting features. All third-party providers must meet strict privacy and security requirements before we share any data with them.

If linkerhyper is ever acquired by another company or undergoes a business merger, we'll notify users at least 30 days before any ownership transfer affects your privacy rights.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our budgeting services or as required by law. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose.

• Active account data is retained while your account remains open and for 90 days after closure
• Financial transaction data is kept for up to 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
• Communication logs and support tickets are retained for 3 years
• Anonymous usage analytics may be retained indefinitely for product improvement
• Marketing communication preferences are deleted immediately upon unsubscribe

When data reaches its retention limit, we securely delete it from our active systems and backups. You can request early deletion of your data, subject to legal requirements under Taiwan financial regulations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your budgeting experience and provide personalized features. Most cookies we use are essential for the platform to function properly, while others help us improve our services.

Essential Cookies: These keep you logged in, remember your budget preferences, and ensure secure data transmission. You can't disable these without affecting core functionality.

Analytics Cookies: These help us understand which budgeting features are most helpful and where users encounter difficulties. The data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies might limit some personalization features of your weekly budgeting tools.

International Data Transfers

While linkerhyper operates primarily in Taiwan, some of our trusted service providers may process data in other countries. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.

All international transfers comply with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act requirements. We use contractual protections, adequacy decisions, and other legal mechanisms to ensure your data receives equivalent protection regardless of where it's processed.

Your financial data remains encrypted during any international transfers, and we regularly audit our global service providers to ensure they maintain our privacy standards.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through your registered email address.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or contact information changes, will be posted here with an updated "Last Modified" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
