SII / PRIVACY DOCUMENT · 02
This Privacy Policy explains how SII collects, uses, retains, shares, and protects information you provide or generate when using the website, forms, quotation-document review, result delivery, payment, and customer-support processes.
The points below are a reading guide and do not replace the full Policy. Before submitting documents, pay particular attention to third-party data, cross-border processing, retention, and your personal-data rights.
SII uses the email address, project context, quotation documents, and supplemental information you submit to perform document review, deliver results, make necessary contact, process orders, and maintain service security.
Quotations, contracts, drawings, photos, or attachments may contain names, addresses, phone numbers, prices, payment terms, company information, or project information. Please make sure you have the right to provide them before submitting.
Case data is not packaged into public contractor rankings, blacklists, government certifications, or third-party endorsements. Necessary disclosures are limited to providing the service, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, or handling disputes.
To the extent provided by applicable law, you may request access, review, a copy, correction, cessation of collection, processing or use, or deletion of personal data by contacting SII through its official email address.
This summary is designed to help you quickly understand the scope of collection and use. Full details remain subject to the sections below and any specific notice shown on a form or transaction page.
Standard Integrity Institute (SII).
Receiving and reviewing quotation documents, establishing project context, delivering Free Key Results or Complete Risk Reports, processing orders and customer support, maintaining service quality and security, handling refunds or disputes, and fulfilling necessary legal obligations.
Contact and identity data, project and document data, transaction and service records, and technical data such as website, device, browser, cookie, or activity records.
For a reasonable period necessary to provide the service, complete transactions, comply with law, handle disputes, and maintain security; in locations where SII operates and where necessary service providers are located or process data; by SII, necessary service providers, and legally authorised authorities; through electronic, automated, or manual processing.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access or review, obtain a copy, supplement or correct data, stop collection, processing, or use, and request deletion. The actual scope of rights and exceptions depends on applicable law.
You may still browse most public content. However, if you decline to provide an email address, project context, or documents necessary for a particular service, SII may be unable to accept the case, complete the review, deliver results, process payment, or provide related support.
SII does not need every piece of information that may appear in a project document. Data should be reasonably related to case review, delivery, transactions, security, or legal requirements.
Used to receive cases, read quotation documents, identify document maturity and risk signals, organise price and payment review points and clause gaps, and produce Free Key Results or Complete Risk Reports.
Used to send Free Key Results, Complete Risk Reports, payment notices, service notices, policy updates, or other important messages directly related to your case.
Used to confirm data completeness, resolve technical issues, prevent abuse, detect unusual activity, protect website and service security, and improve submission and delivery processes.
Used for payment confirmation, refund requests, customer support, personal-data rights requests, record retention, dispute handling, and necessary legal or compliance operations.
The following sections form SII's full Privacy Policy. Read them in order or go directly to the section most relevant to you.
01This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Standard Integrity Institute ("SII") website, upload forms, quotation-document review process, Free Key Results, Complete Risk Reports, payment processes, email notifications, customer-service communications, and other related services.
02When you browse the website, complete a form, upload documents, purchase a service, download content, reply to an email, or otherwise interact with SII, this Policy explains the personal-data collection, processing, and use that may occur in connection with that interaction.
03If a specific service page, form, payment page, email, or other policy provides more specific information about data processing, that information should be read together with this Privacy Policy.
01Depending on how you use the service, SII may collect information you actively provide or information generated through use of the service, including your name or preferred form of address, email address, phone number, form responses, project context, quotation documents, attachments, payment status, order information, customer-service communications, and website-use records.
02Information you submit may include personal data, project information, renovation addresses, pricing terms, contractor information, payment arrangements, contract terms, drawings, photos, screenshots, supplemental explanations, or other case-related content.
03Before submitting information, please make sure that you have the right to provide it and that doing so does not violate any third party's personal-data rights, trade secrets, copyright, contractual confidentiality obligations, or other rights.
01Because SII reviews quotation documents, the quotations, contracts, drawings, photos, screenshots, attachments, and supplemental explanations you upload may contain detailed project information. This information is used to understand work items, quantities, specifications, price and payment structures, clauses, performance conditions, and other information relevant to document review.
02SII does not ask you to provide excessive information unrelated to quotation review. If a document contains national identification numbers, financial-account details, health information, or other highly sensitive information unrelated to the review, we recommend redacting or removing it where doing so will not affect the review.
03If documents you submit contain third-party data, such as information about a property owner, family member, contractor, designer, project worker, company employee, or another individual, you should make sure that you have a lawful basis or appropriate authorisation to provide that information.
01SII primarily uses data to provide, maintain, deliver, and improve quotation-document review services, including receiving documents, establishing project context, reviewing documents, producing Free Key Results, preparing Complete Risk Reports, sending notifications, processing payments, and providing customer support.
02SII may also use necessary information to maintain website and service security, prevent abuse, detect unusual activity, handle refunds or disputes, respond to personal-data rights requests, comply with legal obligations, retain necessary records, and protect the legitimate interests of SII, users, or third parties.
03Unless you consent, it is necessary to provide a service you request, or another legal basis applies, SII will not use your case documents for unrelated public display, contractor rankings, public lists, third-party endorsements, or other purposes outside those described in this Policy.
01If you purchase a paid service, payment may be processed by a third-party payment platform or transaction processor. SII may receive information relating to order status, whether payment succeeded, refund status, transaction time, the plan purchased, and necessary accounting records.
02SII generally does not directly store complete credit-card numbers, bank-account numbers, or other complete payment credentials. The handling of payment information is subject to the terms and privacy policy of the third-party payment provider you use.
03SII may retain relevant transaction records for a reasonable and necessary period in order to process orders, refunds, transaction anomalies, tax or accounting matters, customer service, or disputes.
01To provide website hosting, forms, document intake, cloud storage, payments, email delivery, data processing, customer support, automation, website analytics, or other necessary functions, SII may use third-party services or service providers.
02These providers may process information under SII's instructions or under their own applicable terms to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, deliver, protect, or improve the service. SII will take reasonable steps to select appropriate providers and limit unnecessary data disclosure.
03If you submit information through a third-party payment page, form, cloud service, email system, or external link, you should also review that provider's data-handling terms. A third party's policies, availability, or security measures may change independently of SII.
01SII retains your data for a reasonable and necessary period based on service delivery, report delivery, customer support, refunds and dispute handling, accounting retention, legal compliance, rights claims, and service-security needs. We do not retain data indefinitely without a purpose.
02When data is no longer necessary, SII will use reasonable procedures to delete, archive, de-identify, or restrict its use. Some information may need to be retained longer because of backups, system logs, legal obligations, transaction records, security records, or dispute-handling requirements.
03You may contact SII to request deletion or restriction of certain data. However, if the information remains necessary to perform the service, complete a transaction, retain legally required records, handle a dispute, maintain security, or protect legitimate rights and interests, SII may be unable to delete all of it immediately to the extent permitted by law.
01SII uses reasonable administrative, technical, and procedural measures to protect information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse. Measures may include access controls, service-provider management, data-access restrictions, cloud-security settings, and internal operational controls.
02However, no internet transmission, cloud storage, email communication, or electronic system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. When submitting documents and personal data, you should also consider the security of your network, device, and email account and whether the information you upload is necessary.
03If SII becomes aware of a data-security incident that may require notification by law or may materially affect your rights and interests, SII will take necessary response measures and, depending on the nature of the incident, applicable law, and practical feasibility, notify affected persons or competent authorities as appropriate.
01SII does not sell your personal data or case documents. SII shares information only to the extent necessary to provide the service, complete transactions, send notifications, maintain system security, comply with legal obligations, handle disputes, or protect legitimate rights and interests.
02Recipients may include cloud and website service providers, form services, payment platforms, email services, document-processing services, customer-support or operational tools, legal or compliance advisers, and competent authorities, courts, or other parties lawfully entitled to request information.
03If SII is involved in a reorganisation, merger, business transfer, asset transfer, or similar transaction in the future, necessary information may form part of reasonable transaction evaluation or transfer. SII will require the recipient to protect the information to the extent required by applicable law and reasonably practicable.
01To the extent permitted by applicable law, you may ask SII to provide access to or review of your personal data, provide a copy, supplement or correct it, stop collection, processing, or use, or delete it. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions or limitations.
02To protect data security, SII may need information sufficient to verify your identity and the scope of your request. If a request concerns third-party data, transaction records, legal retention obligations, dispute handling, service delivery, security records, or rights claims, SII may lawfully or reasonably refuse, limit, or defer the request to the extent permitted by applicable law.
03To exercise your data rights, contact SII using the email address listed in this Policy and, where possible, describe your request, the relevant order, submission time, or email address used so that we can identify the scope and process it efficiently.
01The SII website or third-party services may use cookies, log files, device information, browser information, referring pages, click records, form-interaction records, or similar technologies to maintain website functionality, improve user experience, analyse website performance, protect service security, and troubleshoot technical issues.
02You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features may then not work properly, including form submission, preference settings, payment processes, or interactive website functions.
03If SII uses third-party analytics or website-service tools, those tools may process a certain range of device, browsing, and interaction information under their own policies. The actual scope of processing may also depend on your browser settings or consent mechanisms.
01SII's services are primarily intended for users who have legal capacity to contract or appropriate authorisation and who use the service for renovation, construction, engineering, or procurement quotation-document review. The service is not primarily directed to minors.
02If under applicable law you do not have the legal capacity to use the service or consent to data processing on your own, you should use the service only with the consent and assistance of a legal representative or guardian. If SII becomes aware that a minor submitted information without appropriate authorisation, SII may delete or restrict processing of that information as required by applicable law and the circumstances.
01Some cloud, form, payment, email, analytics, or data-processing services used by SII may be located outside Taiwan or provided by overseas providers. Your data may therefore be stored, transmitted, or processed in other countries or regions.
02SII will take reasonable steps to select appropriate providers and implement practicable safeguards, but data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions. Cross-border processing should occur only to the reasonable extent necessary to provide the service, maintain security, or use necessary service providers.
01SII may update this Privacy Policy in response to changes in services, website features, data-processing practices, third-party services, legal requirements, or operational needs.
02The updated version will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date shown on the page will indicate the current version. If there is a material change, SII may provide notice through the website, email, form notice, or another reasonable method depending on the nature of the change.
03We recommend reviewing this page again when submitting a new case, purchasing a service, or when there has been a material change in data-processing practices so you understand the policy then in effect.
01If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, our data-handling practices, personal-data rights, deletion requests, order records, document data, or other privacy-related matters, please contact SII using the email address below.
If a particular form, payment page, product page, or service process gives more specific data-handling information, that notice may apply together with this Policy.
Before starting the upload process, make sure you have the right to submit the documents. If they contain highly sensitive information unrelated to the review, consider redacting it where doing so will not affect document review.
