Last Updated: March 15, 2025
Introduction and Scope
Welcome to SwordPlusTeam, your trusted partner in financial education. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal information when you interact with our financial analysis basics platform at swordplusteam.com. We're committed to protecting your privacy while providing exceptional educational resources about financial fundamentals.
This policy applies to all users of our platform, whether you're browsing our educational content, participating in our learning programs, or contacting us for information. We operate under Vietnam's data protection laws while serving our international community of learners interested in financial literacy.
By using our services, you acknowledge that you've read and understood how we handle your personal information. We believe transparency builds trust, which is why we've made this policy comprehensive yet accessible.
Information We Collect
We collect information that helps us provide better educational experiences and maintain the security of our platform.
When you visit our website or engage with our educational content, we may collect several types of information. Personal information includes your name, email address, and contact details when you voluntarily provide them through our contact forms or when inquiring about our learning programs.
- Contact information: name, email address, phone number when provided voluntarily
- Educational preferences and interests in financial topics
- Technical information: IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system
- Website usage data: pages visited, time spent on site, and navigation patterns
- Communication records: messages sent through our contact forms or email correspondence
- Location data: general geographic location based on IP address for content localization
We don't collect sensitive financial information such as bank account numbers, credit card details, or investment portfolio information. Our focus remains on educational content delivery rather than financial transactions.
How We Use Your Information
Your information serves specific purposes related to improving our educational services and maintaining communication with our learning community. We use collected data to personalize your educational experience, recommend relevant financial learning content, and keep you informed about our programs.
- Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support related to our educational programs
- Customizing educational content recommendations based on your expressed interests
- Sending updates about new learning materials, upcoming courses, and platform improvements
- Analyzing website usage patterns to enhance user experience and content organization
- Maintaining platform security and preventing unauthorized access
- Complying with legal obligations and protecting our legitimate business interests
We never use your personal information for automated decision-making that significantly affects you. All communications from us are relevant to financial education and can be opted out of at any time.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We maintain strict control over your personal information and limit sharing to essential service providers and legal requirements. SwordPlusTeam does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Limited sharing occurs only in these circumstances: with trusted service providers who help us operate our website and deliver educational content (such as web hosting services and email platforms), with legal authorities when required by Vietnam law or to protect our rights and safety, and with your explicit consent for specific purposes.
All third-party service providers are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to us. We regularly review and assess these partnerships to ensure your privacy remains protected.
Your Privacy Rights
Understanding and exercising your privacy rights empowers you to control how your personal information is used. We respect your autonomy and provide clear pathways for managing your data.
Access Rights
Request copies of your personal information we hold and understand how it's being used.
Correction Rights
Update or correct inaccurate personal information in our records.
Deletion Rights
Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and business requirements.
Communication Control
Opt out of marketing communications while maintaining access to essential service updates.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the information provided at the bottom of this policy. We'll respond to your request within 30 days and provide clear information about any actions taken.
Data Security and Protection
Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations. We implement multiple layers of security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Our security measures include encrypted data transmission using SSL certificates, secure server hosting with regular security updates, restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and backup systems to prevent data loss.
While we maintain strong security practices, no internet-based system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.
In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we'll notify you promptly and take immediate steps to minimize any potential impact.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or as required by Vietnam law. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.
Contact information and communication records are typically retained for three years after your last interaction with us, unless you request earlier deletion. Website usage data and analytics information are retained for two years to help us improve our educational platform.
When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it to prevent unauthorized access. You can request earlier deletion of your personal information, though some data may be retained longer if required by legal obligations or legitimate business interests.
International Data Transfers
As an educational platform serving learners globally, some of your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Vietnam. These transfers occur primarily for website hosting, email services, and technical support functions.
When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights. This includes working only with service providers who maintain adequate data protection standards and implementing contractual protections for your information.
You have the right to request information about international transfers of your personal data and the safeguards we've implemented to protect your information during these transfers.
