Automatically Collected Data

Our website collects certain technical information to improve your experience and understand how visitors use our platform. This happens automatically when you browse our site.

Technical Data: We log IP addresses, browser types, device information, and pages visited. This helps us troubleshoot issues and improve site performance.

Cookie Data: Small files stored on your device help us remember your preferences and analyze site traffic patterns.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for specific purposes related to providing and improving our educational services. Here's what we actually do with your data:

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. We don't use your data for purposes unrelated to our educational services without your explicit consent.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Sometimes we need to share limited information with service providers who help us run our platform. These partners are carefully selected and contractually required to protect your data.

Service Providers We Work With

  • Payment processors who handle transactions securely (they never share full payment details with us)
  • Email service providers who help deliver course materials and updates
  • Cloud hosting services that store course content and platform data
  • Analytics tools that help us understand site usage without identifying individuals

Important Note: All third-party providers sign data protection agreements with us. They can only use your information for the specific services they provide to bondonmax, not for their own marketing or other purposes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by South Korean law, court orders, or government regulations. This happens rarely and only when legally necessary. We'll notify you if legally permitted to do so.

Organizational Practices

Our team receives regular training on data protection. We maintain internal policies that limit data access to only what's necessary for specific job functions. Staff members sign confidentiality agreements.

If we experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you within 72 hours as required by South Korean law. Notifications will include details about what happened, what data was affected, and steps we're taking to address the issue.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your data. Deletion methods include secure erasure protocols that make data unrecoverable. Some anonymized data may be retained for statistical analysis without identifying you personally.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and understand user behavior. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site to improve user experience

Managing Cookie Preferences

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Check your browser's help section for specific instructions. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality and your ability to access course materials.

International Data Transfers

While bondonmax operates primarily in South Korea, some service providers may process data in other countries. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through appropriate safeguards.

All international transfers comply with South Korean Personal Information Protection Act requirements. We use standard contractual clauses and verify that recipient countries provide adequate data protection.

Cloud services we use maintain data centers in multiple locations. These providers implement security measures that meet or exceed South Korean standards. You can request specific information about data transfer locations by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for adults interested in financial education. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 14 years old without parental consent as required by South Korean law.

If you're under 14 and interested in our courses, please have a parent or guardian contact us. If we discover we've collected information from someone under 14 without proper consent, we'll delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may 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 or a prominent notice on our website.

The effective date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
