Privacy Policy

At HiTai, we are dedicated to helping foreigners assimilate into life in Taiwan by providing essential job-seeking resources and relevant news media. Your privacy is paramount to us. This brief outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information as you navigate our platform.

What information we collect?

We collect information to provide and improve your experience on HiTai:

Information You Provide: When you create an account, build a profile, or apply for jobs, you may provide us with personal details such as your name, contact information (email, phone number, address), nationality, education, work history, resume, and any other information you choose to include in your job applications. When engaging with our news content, you may provide preferences or interact with features that collect your input.

Automatically Collected Information: We automatically gather certain data about your device and how you interact with HiTai. This includes your device type, operating system, IP address, usage patterns within the app (e.g., articles read, job searches performed), and general location data (derived from your IP address or device settings, if enabled) to provide localized news and job opportunities.

Information from Third Parties: We may receive information from third-party services that you link to your HiTai account (e.g., social media logins) or from employers when they provide feedback on applications.

How we use your information?

Your information is used to power and enhance your HiTai experience:

To Provide Services: This includes facilitating job applications, matching you with relevant job opportunities, delivering personalized news content based on your interests and location, and enabling communication features within the app.

To Improve and Personalize HiTai: We analyze usage patterns to understand how our app is used, identify popular content, improve our job matching algorithms, and develop new features to better support your assimilation journey.

For Communication: We use your contact information to send you updates, job alerts, news digests, and important notices related to your account or our services.

For Security and Legal Compliance:We use data to maintain the security of HiTai, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations, including Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

How we share your information?

We share your information only when necessary and with appropriate safeguards:

With Potential Employers: When you apply for a job through HiTai, we share your application materials, including your personal and professional information, with the prospective employer.

With Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to help us operate, maintain, and improve HiTai (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, customer support). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for specified purposes.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental request (e.g., from immigration authorities), or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the safety of others.

Aggregated/Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not identify you personally for research, analytical, or marketing purposes.

Your CHOICES and RIGHTS

You have control over your data on HiTai:

Account Settings: You can review, update, and correct much of your profile information directly within your app settings.

Opt-Outs: You can manage your communication preferences (e.g., unsubscribe from marketing emails) through the app settings or by following instructions in our emails.

Data Access and Deletion:Under Taiwan's PDPA, you have the right to request access to your personal data held by us, request corrections, or request its deletion. Please contact us at support.fsccare@gmail.com to exercise these rights.

DATA SECURITY

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

As an app focused on international users and operating in Taiwan, your data may be stored and processed on servers located outside your home country. We take steps to ensure that any international transfers of personal data comply with applicable data protection laws, including the PDPA.
