3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do share limited data with trusted partners who help us run our business:

All third-party providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and must comply with PDPA requirements. We carefully vet our partners to ensure they maintain appropriate security standards.

4. Your Data Protection Rights

Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act, you have specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, including how we use it
• Right to Rectification: Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in your profile
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data when it's no longer needed for the purposes we collected it

• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format to transfer elsewhere
• Right to Object: Opt out of certain types of data processing, particularly for marketing purposes
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Remove your consent for data processing at any time

5. Data Security Measures

We take protecting your information seriously and implement multiple layers of security:

Technical Safeguards

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
• Encrypted storage of sensitive personal information and payment data
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Firewalls and intrusion detection systems monitoring our network
• Secure backup systems with encrypted data redundancy

Administrative Controls

• Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Employee training on data protection and privacy practices
• Confidentiality agreements with all staff and contractors
• Regular review and updates of our security policies

While we work hard to protect your data, no system is completely secure. If you notice any suspicious activity related to your account, contact us immediately at [email protected].

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy:

After these periods, we securely delete or anonymize your data. If you close your account, we'll begin the deletion process immediately while retaining only what's legally required.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience. Here's what we use and why:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function. They remember your login status and course progress so you don't have to start over each visit.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand which pages are most helpful and where students might be getting stuck. This data is anonymous and helps us improve our content.

Preference Cookies

These remember your settings like language preferences or whether you've dismissed certain notifications.

8. International Data Transfers

While we're based in Thailand, some of our service providers operate globally. When we transfer data outside Thailand, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

• Data processing agreements with international standards compliance
• Transfer only to countries with adequate data protection laws
• Use of standard contractual clauses approved by Thai authorities
• Regular audits of international partners' security practices

Most student data stays within Thailand's borders. International transfers typically involve only anonymous analytics or cloud backup services with strong encryption.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for adults interested in financial literacy. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 without parental consent.

If you're under 18 and interested in our courses, please have a parent or guardian contact us at [email protected]. We'll work with them to ensure appropriate protections are in place.

If we discover we've accidentally collected data from a minor without proper consent, we'll delete it immediately and notify the contact person on the account.

10. Changes to This Policy

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

• Email notification to your registered address
• Prominent notice on our website homepage
• In-platform notification when you log into your account

The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the most recent changes went into effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before providing any new personal information.

Continued use of our services after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with modifications, you can close your account by contacting us.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website occasionally links to external resources, partner organizations, or recommended tools. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites.

When you click a link leaving evolveupstart.com, you're subject to that website's privacy policy. We recommend reading their policies before sharing personal information. We vet partners carefully but can't control their data practices.
