Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026.

StudyIn.tw is a free information site about studying at universities in Taiwan. The website at studyin.tw is operated by 360 DEV LLC, a company in Michigan, United States. In this policy, "we," "us" and "our" mean 360 DEV LLC as the operator of this website. For any question about this policy, use the contact form.

What we collect from forms

Our forms ask only for your name (optional), your email address and your message. If you never send a form, we don't have any of this. Please don't send ID numbers, passport details, transcripts, dates of birth or other sensitive information. We don't ask for them and don't need them.

We use what you send to read and reply to it, to fix or improve the site, to keep the site and its forms safe, and to comply with the law. We don't sell it or rent it.

Form messages are processed and stored by Netlify, which hosts this site, and sent to us by email.

Analytics and cookies

Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, shows us which pages are read so we can improve the site. It runs only if you choose Allow in the banner. When it runs, it sets first-party cookies whose names start with _ga, which last up to two years unless you clear them or choose No thanks. It collects the pages you view, your approximate location derived from your IP address, your device and browser type, and how you arrived. We look at this in aggregate. Google keeps the data for the retention period set in our account. Google explains its use of this data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Google Tag Manager is the container that loads Google Analytics. It also loads only after you choose Allow. Our settings keep Google's advertising storage, ad personalization and automatic collection of user-provided data switched off.

Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools show us how pages appear in search results. They work from the search engines' own data and place nothing on this site.

Until you choose Allow, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is sent to Google. We don't use advertising cookies, and we don't sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. There are no ads on this site. If we ever add ads, sponsorships or another tool that collects data, we will update this policy before it goes live.

Stored in your browser

Two small things are kept in your own browser's local storage, not in cookies: your answer to the analytics question, and, if you close it, that you don't want the offer to read a page in Chinese. They stay on your device and are not sent to us. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes them.

Hosting and server logs

Like any website, our host, Netlify, records technical logs such as IP address and browser type to run and protect the service. Photos and styles are served from this site itself, and the site uses your device's own fonts, so viewing a page sends nothing to anyone else.

Privacy choices

• Analytics: change or withdraw your choice with the button above or the Privacy choices link at the bottom of every page. Choosing No thanks after Allow stops analytics and deletes its cookies.
• Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track: if your browser sends either signal, we treat it as No thanks. Analytics stays off and we don't ask.
• Google's opt-out: the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on stops Google Analytics on every site that uses it.
• Your browser: block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them.

Your rights under privacy laws

Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, the EU and UK GDPR, or some US state laws may give you rights over your personal information, such as access, correction, deletion, or asking us to stop using it. Where such a law applies and gives you a right, you can make a request through the contact form, and we will respond as that law requires. We may need to verify your identity, and we may decline or limit a request where the law allows. Your right to complain to a data protection authority is not affected.

Visitors in Taiwan (Personal Data Protection Act): 360 DEV LLC collects your name, email address and message when you send a form, to answer you and to run and improve this website, and, if you allow analytics, the usage data described above, to understand how the site is used. We use it for as long as we need it for those purposes, in the United States and the other countries where our providers operate, and share it only as this policy describes. You may exercise the rights in Article 3 of the Act through the contact form. Sending a form is optional; without an email address we can't reply to you.

Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland: we rely on your consent for analytics, which you can withdraw at any time without affecting earlier processing, and on our legitimate interests to answer messages and to run, protect and improve the site.

When we may share information

We share information with the service providers that run the site, Netlify and Google, as described above. We may also disclose information if we believe it is required by law or legal process, or needed to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others. If the site or its assets are sold, merged or otherwise transferred, information we hold may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Retention, transfers and security

We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, or as the law requires, and copies may remain in backups. We and our providers process information in the United States and other countries. No method of sending or storing data is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information you send us.

Young people

This site is written for students choosing a university and for their parents. It is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before you send a form.
