Data Security Measures

Protecting your financial information is our top priority. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data:

Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption

Regular Audits: Quarterly security assessments and penetration testing by independent security firms
Secure Infrastructure: Our servers are hosted in certified data centers with physical security measures

Important Note: While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We recommend using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication when available to further protect your account.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by applicable laws. Here's our general retention framework:

Financial Records: Certain transaction data may be retained for up to 7 years for tax and regulatory compliance
Communication Records: Support tickets and communications retained for 3 years for quality assurance
Marketing Data: Contact information for marketing purposes deleted within 60 days of opt-out requests

When we delete your data, we ensure it's completely removed from our active systems. Some information may remain in backup systems for up to 90 days before being permanently destroyed.

International Data Transfers

DigitalFlashSpot operates primarily in Thailand, but we may transfer your data to other countries for processing or storage. When we do this, we ensure adequate protection through:

Contractual safeguards that meet or exceed Thailand PDPA requirements
Selecting service providers in countries with adequate privacy protection laws
