3 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have significant control over how cookies and tracking technologies interact with your browsing experience. While some essential security cookies are necessary for basic platform functionality, you can customize many aspects of data collection.
Browser-Level Cookie Management
- Access Browser Settings: Look for "Privacy," "Security," or "Advanced" sections in your browser menu
- Locate Cookie Controls: Find options labeled "Cookies," "Site Data," or "Content Settings"
- Choose Your Preference: Select from options like "Block All," "Block Third-Party," or "Allow All"
- Set Exceptions: Create specific rules for drivecloudsystem.com if needed for functionality
- Clear Existing Data: Remove previously stored cookies and local storage if desired
4 Data Retention and Your Rights
We believe in transparent data practices. Most tracking data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the intended functionality or improve our services. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies typically last between 30 days to 2 years depending on their purpose.
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 90 days, meaning it cannot be traced back to individual users. Security-related logs may be retained longer to comply with Taiwan's cybersecurity regulations and to protect against evolving threats.
You can request information about what data we've collected about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion of your data. However, please note that removing certain essential security cookies may limit your ability to access protected areas of our platform.
5 Third-Party Services and Integrations
Our platform integrates with selected third-party services to enhance functionality and provide comprehensive security monitoring. These integrations may involve additional tracking technologies that operate under their respective privacy policies.
For example, we use cloud infrastructure providers for hosting, analytics services for understanding user behavior, and security services for threat detection. Each of these partners may place their own cookies or use tracking technologies when you interact with our platform.
We carefully vet these partnerships to ensure they align with our privacy standards and Taiwan's data protection requirements. You can manage most third-party tracking through your browser settings or by contacting us directly for more specific control options.
