Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At Connected Intelligence Lab, we recognize that your financial data is personal. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our budget planning services. We're committed to transparency and compliance with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act.
Information We Collect
When you use our budget planning tools, we collect several types of information to provide you with personalized financial insights and support.
Account Information
This includes your name, email address, phone number, and physical address in Taiwan. We collect this when you register for our services or reach out to us at 241, Taiwan, New Taipei City, Sanchong District, Lane 256, Zhongyi N Rd, 112號號 1 樓.
Financial Data
To help you plan your budget effectively, we collect income information, expense categories, savings goals, and spending patterns. This data remains encrypted and is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Technical Information
We automatically collect device identifiers, IP addresses (which may indicate your location in Taiwan), browser type, and usage patterns. This helps us improve our platform's performance and security.
How We Use Your Information
Your data serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our budget planning services.
- Providing personalized budget recommendations based on your spending patterns and financial goals
- Sending important account notifications, security alerts, and service updates to +886916868262 or your registered email
- Improving our educational content and tools based on how users interact with our platform
- Analyzing trends to develop better financial planning features
- Complying with Taiwan's financial regulations and legal requirements
- Protecting against fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats
We don't sell your personal information. Our business model relies on providing valuable budget planning services, not monetizing your data.
Taiwan-Specific Compliance
Connected Intelligence Lab operates in full compliance with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act. We maintain servers within Taiwan to ensure your financial data stays within local jurisdiction and meets regional security standards.
Under Taiwan law, you have specific rights regarding how your personal data is collected, processed, and stored. We've designed our systems to honor these rights and provide you with direct control over your information.
Data Storage and Security
We take the security of your financial information seriously. Our systems employ multiple layers of protection to keep your data safe from unauthorized access.
Encryption Standards
All data transmitted to and from our servers uses TLS 1.3 encryption. Your financial information is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption, which is the same standard used by financial institutions worldwide.
Access Controls
Only authorized personnel can access user data, and all access is logged and monitored. We use multi-factor authentication and regular security audits to maintain system integrity.
Data Retention
We store your information for as long as your account remains active. Financial data is particularly sensitive, so here's how long we keep different types of information:
Active Account Data
Retained for the duration of your subscription plus three months after account closure, as required by Taiwan financial record-keeping regulations.
Transaction Logs
Maintained for seven years to comply with Taiwan's tax and financial audit requirements.
Communication Records
Emails and support tickets are kept for two years to help resolve any future service issues or disputes.
Marketing Data
If you've opted into marketing communications, we store your preferences until you unsubscribe or close your account.
Sharing Your Information
We limit data sharing to situations that directly support your use of our services or comply with legal requirements.
Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers for hosting, payment processing, and customer support. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your data and can only use it to perform services on our behalf.
Legal Obligations
We may disclose information when required by Taiwan law, court orders, or government requests. This includes cooperating with tax authorities or law enforcement agencies when legally mandated.
Business Transfers
If Connected Intelligence Lab is acquired or merged with another company, your data may be transferred to the new owner. We'll notify you before any such transfer and explain your options.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and our commitment to transparency, you have several rights regarding your personal information.
Rights You Can Exercise
- Access your personal data to see what information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information in your account
- Delete your account and associated data, subject to legal retention requirements

Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies to improve functionality and understand how users interact with our budget planning tools.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies keep you logged in and remember your preferences. Analytics cookies help us understand which features are most helpful. We don't use advertising cookies or share tracking data with ad networks.
You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling essential cookies may limit site functionality. We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.
International Data Transfers
While we primarily serve users in Taiwan and store data locally, some service providers may process data outside Taiwan. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through standard contractual clauses and security certifications.
If you access our services while traveling outside Taiwan, your data may be temporarily processed in other jurisdictions. However, all primary storage remains within Taiwan's regulatory framework.
Children's Privacy
Our budget planning services are designed for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years old. If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately at help@connectedintelligencelab.com so we can delete it.
