Cookies, Local Storage, and Analytics
We currently do not use third-party advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics scripts for cross-site tracking on this site.

How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information if required by law or to protect the integrity of our systems.
Data Processing & Vendors
- GitHub Pages — website hosting (static content only).
- Google LLC (Google Apps Script + Google Drive/Sheets) — form processing and storage.
Retention
We retain submissions for 24 months from the date of submission, then delete or anonymize them unless a longer retention period is required for operational or legal reasons. You may request deletion at the contact below.
International Data Transfers
If you submit information from outside the United States, your data may be processed or stored in the United States. By submitting form data, you acknowledge this transfer and processing path.
Country-Focused Privacy Notice (Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand)
TSI receives submissions from multiple regions. For submissions associated with the Philippines, Vietnam, or Thailand, we apply the same core privacy controls described here and review operating procedures against local legal requirements for consent, data-subject rights, and transfer disclosures.
- Philippines: We align data handling practices with principles of the Data Privacy Act and provide request channels for access, correction, and deletion where applicable.
- Vietnam: We maintain clear disclosure of processing purpose and cross-border transfer context for voluntary submissions.
- Thailand: We maintain notice and request workflows intended to support personal data rights and cross-border transfer transparency.
This section is an operational summary and not legal advice. We recommend independent legal review for jurisdiction-specific obligations before launch decisions that materially expand processing scope.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Communications
We may respond to your inquiry or reach out with relevant updates. You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no system can be guaranteed secure.
