Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At FluxToneLume, we handle financial data every day. That means privacy isn't just a legal requirement for us—it's the foundation of everything we do. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you work with our financial data integration services.
We've written this in plain language because you deserve to understand exactly what happens to your data. If something isn't clear, reach out. We're here to answer your questions.
Who We Are and What We Do
FluxToneLume provides financial data integration and synchronization services to businesses operating in South Korea. We help companies connect their financial systems, reconcile data across platforms, and maintain accurate records.
Our registered business address is 달동 1264-15번지 남구 울산광역시 KR, and you can reach us at +82535834488.
Information We Collect
The nature of our work means we handle several types of information. Here's what we collect and why:
Business Contact Information
When you inquire about our services or become a client, we collect basic business details: your company name, contact person, email address, phone number, and business address. We need this to communicate with you and provide our services.
Financial System Access Data
To integrate and synchronize your financial data, we need access credentials to your financial systems. This might include API keys, database connection strings, or authentication tokens. We encrypt all access credentials and store them in secure, isolated environments.
Transaction and Financial Records
Our integration services process financial transaction data, account information, and related records. The specific data depends on which systems you want us to connect and what you need synchronized.
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| Business contact details | Service delivery and communication | Duration of business relationship plus 3 years |
| System access credentials | Technical integration and data synchronization | Active service period, deleted within 30 days of termination |
| Financial transaction records | Data integration and reconciliation services | As required by service agreement and legal obligations |
| Service usage logs | System performance and security monitoring | 90 days for operational logs, longer for security incidents |
| Communication records | Support, documentation, and compliance | Duration of relationship plus 5 years |
Technical and Usage Information
We collect logs showing how our integration systems interact with your financial platforms. This includes timestamps, data volumes processed, error messages, and system performance metrics. These logs help us maintain service quality and troubleshoot issues.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific, defined purposes related to delivering our financial integration services:
- Connecting your financial systems and synchronizing data between platforms as specified in our service agreement
- Monitoring integration performance to catch errors before they affect your financial records
- Providing technical support when you encounter issues or have questions about the integration
- Maintaining security by monitoring for unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activity
- Improving our integration methods based on real-world usage patterns and technical challenges
- Meeting legal obligations under South Korean financial regulations and data protection laws
- Communicating about service status, system maintenance, and important updates
What we don't do: We never sell your financial data to third parties. We don't use your transaction information for marketing purposes. We don't share your data with anyone outside the narrow scope needed to deliver our services.
Legal Basis for Processing (South Korea Context)
Under South Korean data protection law, specifically the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), we process your information based on:
- Contractual necessity: Most of our data processing is essential to deliver the integration services you've contracted us to provide
- Legitimate business interests: We process certain data to maintain service quality, security, and operational efficiency
- Legal compliance: Financial regulations require us to maintain certain records and implement specific security measures
- Consent: For any processing outside these categories, we obtain your explicit consent before proceeding
Data Security Measures
Given the sensitive nature of financial data, we've implemented multiple layers of security protection:
Encryption
All data transmissions use TLS 1.3 or higher encryption. Financial data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Access credentials are hashed and stored separately from other data using bcrypt with appropriate work factors.
Access Controls
Our team follows strict least-privilege principles. Staff members only access the specific data necessary for their role. All access is logged and regularly audited. We use multi-factor authentication for all system access.
Infrastructure Security
Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with physical security measures. We maintain isolated environments for different clients to prevent data mixing. Regular security patches and updates are applied systematically.
Monitoring and Response
We monitor our systems continuously for security threats. Automated alerts notify our team of suspicious activity. We maintain an incident response plan and conduct regular security drills.
Important acknowledgment: No security system is completely invulnerable. While we implement industry-standard protections and continuously work to improve our security posture, we can't guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of any security concerns, contact us immediately.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We keep data sharing to an absolute minimum. Here's who might access your information:
Service Providers
We work with a small number of carefully vetted service providers who help us deliver our services. This includes our cloud infrastructure provider and security monitoring service. These providers only access data necessary for their specific function and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by South Korean law, court order, or regulatory authority. If we receive such a request, we'll notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.
Business Transfers
If FluxToneLume is acquired or merges with another company, your information would transfer to the new entity. We'd notify you before this happens and inform you of any changes to how your data is handled.
What we never do: We don't sell data to brokers. We don't share financial information with marketing companies. We don't provide your data to analytics services for behavioral tracking.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
Under South Korean law, you have specific rights concerning your personal and business information. Here's what you can do and how to do it:
Access Your Data
You can request a copy of all personal and business information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a structured, commonly used format within 10 business days.
Correct Inaccuracies
If any information we hold is incorrect or incomplete, you can request corrections. We'll update our records and notify any third parties who received the incorrect information.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete your data, subject to legal retention requirements. Some financial records must be kept for regulatory compliance, but we'll delete everything else.
Restrict Processing
You can request that we temporarily limit how we use your data while we investigate a concern you've raised about accuracy or processing legality.
Object to Processing
If we're processing your data based on legitimate interests, you can object. We'll stop unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Data Portability
You can receive your data in a machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider. This applies to data you've provided to us and data processed by automated means.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Send requests to +82535834488 or write to us at 달동 1264-15번지 남구 울산광역시 KR. Include your company name and specific request details. We'll verify your identity before processing any requests.
We respond to most requests within 10 business days. Complex requests might take up to 30 days—we'll let you know if we need additional time and explain why.
Data Retention and Deletion
We don't keep data longer than necessary. Here's our approach to retention:
Active Service Period
While providing services, we retain all data necessary for system operation, security monitoring, and service delivery. This includes financial records being synchronized, system logs, and communication history.
After Service Termination
When our service agreement ends, we follow this timeline:
- Immediate (within 24 hours): Disable all system access credentials
- Within 30 days: Delete all cached financial data and temporary processing files
- Within 90 days: Remove operational logs and technical usage data
- Retained for legal periods: Contracts, financial invoices, and compliance documentation (typically 5 years under South Korean commercial law)
Legal Retention Requirements
Some records must be kept to comply with South Korean regulations. Financial transaction records related to tax matters are retained for 5 years as required by tax law. Records related to dispute resolution are kept until the matter is fully resolved plus applicable statute of limitations.
Requesting Early Deletion
You can request deletion of data not subject to legal retention requirements at any time. Contact us with your specific deletion request, and we'll process it within 30 days.
International Data Transfers
Our primary operations and data storage are based in South Korea. However, some situations involve international data movement:
Cloud Infrastructure
Our cloud service providers maintain data centers in multiple locations. While we configure our systems to keep data within South Korea whenever possible, some backup and redundancy systems may involve servers in other locations with equivalent data protection standards.
Cross-Border Integration Needs
If your financial systems are hosted outside South Korea, data necessarily moves between jurisdictions during synchronization. We only process data in jurisdictions with adequate data protection frameworks.
Safeguards for International Transfers
When data leaves South Korea, we implement appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses, encryption during transit, and verification that receiving jurisdictions maintain adequate protection standards.

Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for businesses and are not directed at individuals under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we've inadvertently collected data from someone under 18, we'll delete it immediately.
