Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us at SmartForce Plus
Last updated: February 15, 2025
Introduction
At SmartForce Plus, we understand that trust
forms the foundation of any meaningful business
relationship. When you work with us on your
mobile app UX/UI design projects, you're sharing
valuable information about your business goals,
user needs, and strategic vision. We take that
responsibility seriously and want you to know
exactly how we handle your information.
This privacy policy explains our practices
regarding the collection, use, and protection of
personal information in accordance with
Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)
and international privacy standards. We've
written this in plain language because we
believe transparency shouldn't require a law
degree to understand.
Information We Collect
The information we collect falls into several
categories, each serving a specific purpose in
delivering quality design services:
- Business Information: Company name, industry, project requirements, and business objectives you share during consultations
- Contact Details: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and business addresses for project communication
- Project Materials: Existing brand assets, user research data, wireframes, and design specifications you provide
- Technical Information: Website usage data, IP addresses, and browser information when you visit our site
- Communication Records: Email exchanges, meeting notes, and project feedback to maintain service quality
We collect this information through direct
interactions during project discussions, our
website forms, email communications, and project
collaboration tools. We don't use hidden
tracking methods or collect information without
your knowledge.
How We Use Your Information
Your information serves specific, legitimate
business purposes that directly benefit your
project outcomes:
- Delivering mobile app UX/UI design services tailored to your specific business requirements
- Communicating project updates, gathering feedback, and coordinating design iterations
- Managing project timelines, deliverables, and ensuring quality standards throughout development
- Providing ongoing support and addressing technical questions related to implemented designs
- Improving our service delivery based on project experiences and client feedback
- Complying with legal requirements and maintaining accurate business records
We never use your business information for
marketing to your competitors or sharing
proprietary details outside our team. Your
project information remains confidential
throughout our working relationship.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Thailand's PDPA and international privacy
standards, you have specific rights regarding
your personal information. These aren't just
legal requirements – they're practical tools for
maintaining control over your data:
Access Your Information
Request copies of personal information we
hold about you, including project files
and communication records.
Update Information
Correct inaccurate information or update
contact details and business information
as your company evolves.
Restrict Processing
Limit how we use your information while
maintaining necessary project
communication and deliverables.
Data Portability
Receive your information in a structured
format that you can transfer to other
service providers if needed.
Object to Processing
Object to specific uses of your
information, particularly for marketing
communications or non-essential purposes.
Delete Information
Request deletion of your personal
information, subject to legal retention
requirements and ongoing project needs.
To exercise any of these rights, simply contact
us using the information provided below. We
respond to requests within 30 days and work with
you to address any concerns about how your
information is handled.
Information Security
Protecting your business information requires
more than good intentions – it demands
systematic security measures appropriate for the
sensitive nature of design projects and business
data:
Encryption Protection
All data transmissions use SSL/TLS
encryption, and sensitive files are stored
with AES-256 encryption standards.
Access Controls
Only authorized team members working
directly on your project can access your
information, with role-based permissions.
Secure Infrastructure
We use reputable cloud services with ISO
27001 certification and regular security
audits for data storage.
Regular Backups
Project files are backed up securely to
prevent data loss while maintaining the
same security standards.
Team Training
Our team receives regular training on data
protection practices and confidentiality
requirements.
Incident Response
We maintain procedures for quickly
addressing any security incidents and
notifying affected clients promptly.
Information Sharing
We operate on a principle of minimal information
sharing. Your business information and project
details stay within our team unless specific
circumstances require otherwise:
-
Service Providers: We may
share limited information with trusted
service providers who assist with project
delivery, such as:
- Cloud storage providers for secure file management
- Communication platforms for project collaboration
- Design software providers for creating and sharing mockups
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by Thai law or legitimate legal processes
- Business Protection: In rare cases, we may share information to protect our legal rights or prevent fraud
We never sell your information to third parties
or use it for purposes unrelated to your
project. Any service providers we work with are
contractually bound to maintain the same privacy
standards we uphold.
Data Retention
We retain different types of information for
varying periods based on business needs and
legal requirements:
- Project Files: Retained for 3 years after project completion to support ongoing maintenance and future updates
- Communication Records: Email and meeting records kept for 2 years for quality assurance and reference purposes
- Contact Information: Maintained until you request removal or for 5 years after last contact for potential future projects
- Financial Records: Kept for 5 years in accordance with Thai business record requirements
- Website Usage Data: Automatically deleted after 2 years unless specifically needed for security purposes
When retention periods expire, we securely
delete information using industry-standard data
destruction methods. You can request earlier
deletion of your information, though we may need
to retain certain records for legal compliance.
International Data Transfers
While SmartForce Plus operates from Thailand,
some of our service providers may store or
process information outside Thailand. When this
occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards protect
your information:
- We only use service providers with strong privacy certifications and security standards
- Contractual agreements require the same level of protection as Thai privacy laws
- We monitor international privacy regulations to ensure ongoing compliance
- Data transfers are limited to what's necessary for project delivery and business operations
If you have concerns about international data
transfers for your specific project, we can
discuss alternatives that keep your information
within Thailand's borders.
