Privacy Policy

Introduction and Our Commitment

At CastFluxDriftRipple, we understand that your financial data deserves the highest level of protection. When you're working with activity-based budgeting strategies, you're sharing sensitive information about your business operations, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit castfluxdriftripple.com or use our educational services. We're committed to transparency – no hidden practices or confusing terms.

Our approach follows South Korean privacy regulations, including the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), while maintaining international standards for data security and user rights.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information to provide you with relevant educational content and improve our services. Here's exactly what we gather and why:

We don't collect sensitive financial data like bank account numbers, detailed budget figures, or proprietary business strategies. Our focus is on educational delivery, not financial management.

How We Use Your Information

Educational Services

Your information helps us deliver personalized learning experiences. We use your industry background to provide relevant case studies and adjust our activity-based budgeting examples to match your context.

Communication

We'll send you course updates, new educational content notifications, and program announcements. You can opt out of marketing communications while still receiving essential course information.

Platform Improvement

Usage data helps us identify which learning modules are most effective and where students might need additional support. This leads to better course design and more helpful resources.

Legal Compliance

In some cases, we may need to use your information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our terms of service.

Information Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information to anyone. Period. However, we do work with trusted partners to deliver our services effectively:

• Educational Technology Partners: Companies that help us deliver online learning content and track your progress through courses
• Communication Services: Email and messaging platforms that help us send you course updates and educational materials
• Analytics Providers: Tools that help us understand how our website is used so we can improve the experience
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users

All third-party partners are carefully selected and must agree to protect your information according to our standards. We only share the minimum information necessary for them to provide their specific services.

Your Rights and Control

Under South Korean privacy law and our commitment to transparency, you have significant control over your personal information:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided below. We'll respond within 30 days and guide you through the process.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is a top priority. We've implemented multiple layers of security to keep your data safe:

Our technical safeguards include encrypted data transmission, secure storage systems, and regular security assessments. We also train our team on privacy best practices and maintain strict access controls – only authorized personnel can access your information, and only when necessary for providing services.

If we discover any security incident that might affect your personal information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened, what information was involved, and what steps we're taking to address the situation.

Data Retention and Deletion

We don't keep your information longer than necessary. Here's our approach to data retention:

Active Students

While you're actively participating in our programs, we maintain your educational records and progress data to provide ongoing support and track your learning journey.

After Program Completion

Educational records are kept for three years after program completion, allowing you to request transcripts or certificates and helping us improve our courses based on long-term outcomes.

Account Information

Basic contact information is retained for five years after your last interaction with us, unless you request earlier deletion. This helps us avoid sending unwanted communications to people who've previously opted out.

Legal Requirements

Some information may be retained longer if required by law, such as records needed for tax purposes or regulatory compliance in the education sector.

You can request immediate deletion of your information at any time, though this may affect our ability to provide certain services or verify your educational achievements.

International Data Transfers

While we're based in South Korea, some of our technology partners operate servers in other countries. When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure it receives the same level of protection:

• All transfers comply with South Korean data protection requirements
• We use standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities
• Partner companies must demonstrate adequate privacy protections
• We regularly review international transfer arrangements

You have the right to request information about any international transfers of your data and the safeguards in place to protect it.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy practices evolve, and so might this policy. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify you through email or a notice on our website.
