How SmartFlowNexus protects and manages your personal information

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Introduction and Overview

SmartFlowNexus ("we," "our," or "us") operates as an educational platform focused on decentralized application development. Located at Montri Suriyawong 3, Na Muang, Mueang Ratchaburi, Ratchaburi 70000, Thailand, we're committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data transparently.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information from users of our website and educational services. We operate in compliance with Thai privacy laws, including the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019), and international privacy standards.

Information We Collect

We collect several types of information to provide and improve our educational services:

  • Personal identification information (name, email address, phone number)
  • Educational background and programming experience level
  • Course enrollment and progress tracking data
  • Communication preferences and contact history
  • Website usage data including IP addresses and browser information
  • Student project submissions and portfolio materials
  • Payment information for course fees (processed securely through third-party providers)
  • Feedback and evaluation responses from courses and programs

We collect this information through various methods including course registration forms, contact inquiries, website analytics, and direct communication with our educational team. All data collection serves specific educational or administrative purposes.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information helps us deliver quality educational experiences and maintain our platform effectively. We use collected data to process course enrollments, track learning progress, and provide personalized educational guidance.

Communication purposes include sending course updates, technical announcements, and educational resources relevant to your enrolled programs. We also use aggregated data to improve our curriculum and develop new educational content that better serves our student community.

Administrative functions require certain data usage for maintaining accurate student records, processing payments, and ensuring compliance with educational standards. We never use your personal information for unrelated commercial purposes or share it with unauthorized third parties.

Thailand PDPA Compliance

As a Thailand-based educational institution, we strictly comply with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019). This means we have lawful basis for processing your data, implement appropriate security measures, and respect your rights as a data subject under Thai law.

We maintain detailed records of data processing activities and have appointed a Data Protection Officer to oversee compliance with local privacy regulations. Students have specific rights under Thai law which we honor and facilitate through clear procedures.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

SmartFlowNexus maintains strict control over your personal information and limits sharing to essential educational and operational purposes. We work with select technology providers for course delivery platforms, payment processing, and communication tools.

Third-party services include email communication platforms, learning management systems, and secure payment processors. These partners operate under strict contractual agreements that require them to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

We never sell personal information to marketers or unrelated businesses. Any data sharing occurs only with your explicit consent or when required by Thai law. Educational partnerships or collaborations involving student data require separate consent and clear disclosure of the purpose and scope.

Your Privacy Rights

Access and Portability

Request copies of your personal data and receive it in a commonly used format. We provide comprehensive access to your educational records and account information.

Correction and Updates

Modify inaccurate personal information or update your details as circumstances change. You can update most information through your student portal.

Data Deletion

Request removal of your personal data, subject to legal and educational record-keeping requirements. We explain any limitations clearly during the process.

Processing Restrictions

Limit how we use your information in specific circumstances. You can object to certain types of data processing while maintaining essential educational services.

Consent Withdrawal

Withdraw consent for data processing activities that aren't essential for educational services. This includes marketing communications and optional program features.

Complaint Rights

File complaints with Thai privacy authorities if you believe we've mishandled your personal data. We provide guidance on complaint procedures and regulatory contacts.

Data Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes encrypted data transmission, secure server infrastructure, and regular security audits.

Access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can view personal data, and only for legitimate educational or administrative purposes. We maintain detailed access logs and conduct regular staff training on data protection practices.

Technical safeguards include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encrypted data storage. We regularly update security protocols to address emerging threats and maintain compliance with international security standards.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for educational purposes or as required by Thai law. Student academic records are typically maintained for seven years after course completion, while marketing contact information is retained for two years without engagement.

Active student data remains accessible throughout enrollment and for one year after course completion to support continued learning and career development. Payment information is retained according to Thai tax and accounting requirements.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete personal information using industry-standard deletion procedures. Students can request early deletion of non-essential data, though some information must be retained for legal compliance or legitimate educational interests.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience and understand how students interact with our educational content. Essential cookies enable basic website functionality and course access features.

Analytics cookies help us understand which educational resources are most valuable and identify areas for improvement in our learning platform. We use this aggregated information to enhance course content and user interface design.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though some restrictions may limit website functionality. We provide clear information about cookie types and purposes through our cookie preference center.

International Data Transfers

While SmartFlowNexus operates primarily in Thailand, some educational technology services may involve data processing in other countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers.

Cloud-based learning platforms and communication tools may store data in secure facilities outside Thailand. We work only with providers that offer adequate protection levels and comply with international privacy frameworks.

Students are informed about any international data processing as part of enrollment procedures. We maintain oversight of overseas data processing to ensure continued protection of your personal information.

Updates and Changes

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our educational services, legal requirements, or privacy practices. We notify students of significant changes through email and website announcements.

Minor updates that don't affect core privacy rights may be posted directly to our website with updated effective dates. Major changes that impact how we collect or use personal data require explicit student consent or notification periods as required by Thai law.

We encourage students to review this privacy policy regularly and contact us with questions about any changes or privacy-related concerns.
