What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At DataFlow LinkWise, we use various tracking technologies to understand how corporate finance analysts interact with our platform and educational resources.
These technologies help us remember your preferences, analyze which sections of our site are most valuable to analysts, and improve our educational content delivery. We're transparent about what we track and why it matters for your learning experience.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you're studying complex financial modeling techniques, our tracking helps us notice if many students struggle with specific concepts. We can then create additional explanations, video tutorials, or practice exercises to address those challenges.
For instance, if analytics show that analysts from Taiwan frequently search for information about IFRS compliance, we might develop specialized content addressing local regulatory requirements. Or if we notice students abandoning certain modules, we investigate whether the content needs clearer explanations.
The data also helps us understand peak usage times, allowing us to schedule maintenance during off-hours and ensure our platform performs well when you need it most. We've learned that many working professionals prefer studying during early morning hours or weekends, so we optimize our systems accordingly.

Authentication tokens and temporary session data are deleted when you close your browser

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We work with several trusted partners to provide our educational services. Google Analytics helps us understand how students navigate our content, while our payment processor securely handles enrollment transactions for Taiwan-based students.
Our video hosting service tracks which educational videos are most helpful, and our email platform measures whether important course updates reach students successfully. Each partner follows strict data protection standards and only receives information necessary for their specific service.
We never sell your personal information to marketing companies or share student progress data with employers without explicit permission. Some aggregated, anonymous statistics might be shared with educational partners to improve corporate finance training industry-wide.

If you're concerned about specific tracking activities, contact our support team at [email protected]. We'll explain exactly what data we collect about your account and help you adjust settings to match your privacy preferences.
Students in Taiwan have additional rights under local privacy regulations. You can file complaints with relevant authorities if you believe we're not handling your data appropriately, though we're committed to resolving concerns directly whenever possible.
