About This Privacy Policy
At CloudenByteFlux, we understand that your privacy isn't just a legal requirement—it's fundamental to building the trust that makes our partnership possible. We've written this policy in plain language because you deserve to know exactly how we handle your information without needing a law degree to understand it.
This policy applies to all information we collect through our website, during consultations, throughout project development, and in ongoing client relationships. We operate under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and follow international best practices that often exceed local requirements.

Information Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, we do share information in specific, limited circumstances that support your service experience:
