• When you visit this website or use the functions and services provided by this website, we will, depending on the nature of the service function concerned, ask you to provide the necessary personal data, and will process and use your personal data within the scope of that specific purpose; without your written consent, this website will not use your personal data for any other purpose. • When you use interactive functions such as the service mailbox or questionnaires, this website will retain the name, email address, contact information, time of use, and other information that you provide. • During general browsing, the server will automatically record related activity, including the IP address of the connected device you use, the time of use, the browser used, and records of browsing and clicks, as a reference for improving our website services. These records are for internal use and will never be disclosed publicly. • In order to provide accurate services, we will compile statistics on and analyze the content of the questionnaires collected, and the results of such analysis will be presented as statistical data or explanatory text. In addition to using them for internal research, we may publish the statistical data and explanatory text as needed; however, such publication will not involve data relating to any specific individual. • You may at any time request that we correct or delete any incorrect or incomplete personal data about you collected by this website.

3. Data Protection

• The host servers of this website are equipped with firewalls, antivirus systems, and other related information security equipment, as well as the necessary security protection measures, to protect the website and your personal data. Strict protection measures are adopted, under which only authorized personnel may access your personal data. All personnel involved in processing have signed confidentiality agreements, and anyone who violates the confidentiality obligation will be subject to the relevant legal sanctions. • If it becomes necessary for business purposes to engage other entities to provide services, this website will likewise strictly require them to comply with confidentiality obligations and will carry out the necessary inspection procedures to ensure that they actually comply.

This website will never provide, exchange, rent, or sell any of your personal data to any other individual, group, private enterprise, or government agency, except where there is a legal basis or a contractual obligation. The circumstances under the proviso in the preceding paragraph include, but are not limited to, the following: • With your written consent. • Where expressly provided for by law. • To prevent danger to your life, body, freedom, or property. • In cooperation with a government agency or an academic research institution, where necessary for statistical or academic research based on the public interest, and the data, as processed by the provider or as disclosed by the collector, cannot identify a specific data subject. • When your conduct on the website violates the terms of service, or may damage or obstruct the rights and interests of the website or other users, or cause harm to any person, and the website's management, after analysis, determines that disclosure of your personal data is necessary to identify you, contact you, or take legal action. • Where it is beneficial to your rights and interests. • When this website engages vendors to assist in collecting, processing, or using your personal data, it will exercise due supervision and management over such outsourced vendors or individuals.

6. Use of Cookies

To provide you with the best service, this website will place and access our cookies on your computer. If you do not wish to accept cookies, you may set the privacy level to high in the settings of the browser you use to refuse cookies; however, this may cause certain functions of the website to not operate properly.

7. Google Analytics and Website Traffic Analysis

This website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to analyse how the website is used, in order to improve its content and services. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data on your browsing behaviour, such as the pages you visit, time spent on the site, device and browser type, approximate geographic location (at country and city level) and traffic source, and transmits this data to Google for storage and processing. This website has also linked Google Analytics with Google Search Console in order to obtain statistics on the website's impressions and clicks in search results.

This website has enabled the Google Signals feature of Google Analytics. When you are signed in to a Google account for which Ads Personalisation is turned on, Google associates your browsing data on this website with the information held in that account, allowing this website to obtain aggregated statistics on age, gender and interest categories. What this website receives is aggregated statistical data that cannot be used to identify any individual, and this website does not combine your personal data with such statistics.

If you do not wish the above data to be collected or used for the purposes described, you may take any of the following steps:

• Turn off Ads Personalisation on the Ads Settings page of your Google account, which stops the data association used by Google Signals.
• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google to stop data being sent to Google Analytics.
• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings (this may prevent some features of this website from working properly).

For details of how Google processes the data described above, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

8. Amendments to the Privacy Protection Policy

This website's Privacy Protection Policy may be amended at any time as needed, and the amended terms will be posted on the website.
