Technical Data Collection

During performance testing engagements, we collect system metrics, response times, error logs, and configuration data necessary for analysis. This technical information helps us identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities in your applications.

We never collect personal data from your end users during performance testing. Our focus remains on system performance metrics and technical indicators only.

We maintain strict controls over data sharing. Your information stays within our organization except in specific, limited circumstances that support our service delivery.

Data Processing Partners

Some testing tools require data processing by specialized vendors. We ensure these partners meet strict security standards and sign comprehensive data protection agreements. You'll be informed if specific testing approaches require external data processing.

We never sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any data sharing serves legitimate business purposes related to your performance testing project.

5 Data Security and Storage

Protecting your information requires multiple layers of security controls and ongoing vigilance. We've implemented comprehensive measures that address both technical and organizational aspects of data protection.

We maintain detailed incident response procedures and will notify you promptly if any security events affect your information. Our goal is transparent communication about any issues that might impact your data security.

Data storage locations: Primary servers in Taiwan with encrypted backups in Singapore. All locations meet international security standards and comply with local data protection requirements.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete information using industry-standard methods that prevent recovery. This includes overwriting digital storage media and physical destruction of any paper records.

You can request early deletion of your information, though we may need to retain some data to meet legal obligations or complete ongoing service commitments. We'll explain any limitations when processing your deletion request.

7 International Data Transfers

Some aspects of our performance testing services may involve data processing outside Taiwan. We ensure appropriate protections are in place whenever information crosses borders.

Transfer Safeguards

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by data protection authorities
  • Adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent protection levels in destination countries
  • Binding corporate rules for transfers within multinational service providers
  • Your explicit consent for transfers to countries without adequacy decisions

Common Transfer Scenarios

Cloud-based testing tools may process data in multiple regions for performance optimization. We maintain oversight of these transfers and ensure consistent protection standards regardless of processing location.

When transfers are necessary, we'll inform you about the destination countries and protection measures in place. You can object to specific transfers if they don't meet your organization's requirements.
