Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
At Evolve Node Project, we understand that your financial data deserves serious protection. This isn't some generic policy copied from a template – it's a straightforward explanation of how we handle your information when you use our financial reporting platform.
We're based in Thailand, which means we follow Thai data protection regulations alongside international best practices. And honestly? That's just the baseline for us.
Information We Collect
When you work with our platform, we gather different types of data depending on how you interact with our services. Some of this you give us directly. Other pieces we collect automatically as you use the system.
Account and Profile Information
Creating an account requires basic details – your name, email address, company name, and contact number. If you're setting up payment processing, we'll need billing information too. But here's what matters: we only ask for what's actually necessary to deliver our reporting services.
Financial Data You Upload
This is the core of what we do. You're trusting us with financial statements, transaction records, investment portfolios, and other sensitive documents. We take that responsibility seriously because this isn't just data – it's your business performance, your investment decisions, your financial strategy.
Technical Information
Our systems automatically log certain technical details when you access the platform. IP addresses, browser types, device information, access times. This helps us maintain security and improve performance. Think of it as basic housekeeping that keeps everything running smoothly.
What About Cookies?
Yes, we use them. Session cookies keep you logged in. Analytics cookies help us understand which features people actually use. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings, though some platform functionality might be limited.
How We Use Your Information
Let's be direct about this. Your data serves specific purposes, and we don't stretch those boundaries.
Service Delivery
Processing your financial reports, generating analytics, creating investor presentations – the stuff you're actually paying us to do. Your uploaded data gets analyzed, formatted, and presented according to your specifications.
Platform Improvement
We look at usage patterns to figure out what works and what doesn't. Which reports do people generate most often? Where do users get stuck? This helps us make better decisions about feature development.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Monitoring for unusual access patterns, failed login attempts, or suspicious activity. Financial platforms are targets, so we stay vigilant about protecting your account.
Legal Compliance
Sometimes we're legally required to retain certain information or respond to valid legal requests. We follow Thai regulations and cooperate with authorities when properly compelled to do so.
Data Storage and Security
Your financial information lives on secure servers located in Thailand and Singapore. We use industry-standard encryption – both when data moves between your device and our servers, and when it sits in our databases.
Technical Safeguards
- 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission
- AES-256 encryption for stored financial documents
- Multi-factor authentication options for account access
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Isolated database architecture to prevent cross-contamination
- Automated backup systems with encrypted storage
But technology alone isn't enough. Our team receives regular security training, and access to your data is strictly limited to personnel who need it for service delivery.
Data Retention Periods
We keep your information for as long as your account remains active, plus a reasonable period afterward to comply with Thai financial record-keeping requirements. That usually means seven years after account closure, though specific regulations might require longer retention for certain document types.
Who Gets Access to Your Data
Here's the complete picture of data sharing. We're not in the business of selling user information – that's not our model and never will be.
| Category | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Service Providers | Cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery | Minimum necessary for function performance |
| Professional Advisors | Legal counsel, accountants, auditors | Limited to specific matters requiring review |
| Legal Authorities | Valid legal requests, court orders | Only what's specifically required by law |
| Business Transfers | Merger, acquisition, or sale scenarios | Full account data with continued privacy protection |
All third-party service providers sign strict confidentiality agreements and must meet our security standards. We vet these partners carefully because your data security doesn't stop at our direct control.
Your Rights Under Thai Law
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act gives you substantial control over your information. These aren't just theoretical rights – we've built systems to actually honor them.
Access and Portability
You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We'll provide it in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days. Want to move to another platform? You can download your complete financial data at any time through your account dashboard.
Correction and Updates
Found an error in your profile information? You can update most details directly through account settings. For changes requiring verification, contact our support team with proper identification.
Deletion Rights
You can request account deletion at any time. We'll remove your personal information within 60 days, though we may retain certain records to comply with legal obligations. Financial transaction logs, for instance, must be kept for regulatory periods regardless of account status.
Processing Restrictions
In certain situations, you can limit how we use your information. This might affect platform functionality, but it's your right to exercise if you have concerns about specific data processing activities.
How to Exercise These Rights
Send requests to [email protected] with your account email and specific details about what you're requesting. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. If we need to deny a request for legal reasons, we'll explain why.
International Data Transfers
While our primary servers are in Thailand and Singapore, some service providers operate globally. This means your data might occasionally be processed in other countries with different privacy regulations.
When that happens, we use standard contractual clauses and other legal mechanisms to ensure your information receives adequate protection. The European Commission's model clauses, for instance, provide strong safeguards for data transfers.
Special Considerations for Investors
If you're using our platform to share reports with investors, you control what gets distributed. We don't automatically share your financial data with anyone. You generate reports, and you decide who receives them.
When you do share reports, remember that recipients operate under their own privacy policies. Once a document leaves our system, we can't control how they handle it.
Children's Privacy
Our platform isn't designed for users under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If we discover we've accidentally gathered data from someone underage, we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy practices evolve, and so does this policy. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users by email at least 30 days before the new terms take effect. Continued use after that notice period means you accept the updates.
Minor clarifications or additions might happen without formal notice, though we'll always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
Questions or Concerns?
We know privacy policies can raise questions. If something here isn't clear, or if you have specific concerns about how we handle your data, reach out to us directly.
For formal privacy complaints under Thai law, you also have the right to contact the Personal Data Protection Committee of Thailand.
