Website Data Usage Policy
Understanding Our Data Collection
At IdeaDeep, we use various tracking technologies on idea-deep.com to enhance your learning experience and help us understand how our educational platform serves the Taiwan market. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in transparency. When you visit our site to learn about color theory in web design, certain information gets collected automatically through your browser. Some of this happens whether you create an account or not — it's just how websites work these days.

How This Improves Your Experience
Learning Continuity
When you're working through our color theory modules, tracking helps us remember where you left off. If you close your browser halfway through a lesson on complementary colors, we can bring you back to exactly the right spot next time.
Personalized Content
We notice patterns in what you find interesting. Someone who spends a lot of time on our advanced color mixing tutorials might see suggestions for our upcoming masterclass series. Someone just starting with basic color wheels gets pointed toward foundational lessons.
Technical Performance
Analytics help us spot problems fast. If we see people leaving a particular lesson page quickly, maybe there's a loading issue or the content isn't clear enough. This data helps us fix problems you might not even report.
Managing Your Privacy Settings
You have several options for controlling how we track your activity. The easiest approach is through your browser settings, though this affects all websites you visit.

What Happens When You Block Cookies
Blocking all cookies will definitely protect your privacy, but it might make your experience less smooth. You'll need to log in every time you visit, and we won't remember your progress through lessons or your preferred color palette tools.
A middle-ground approach: allow essential cookies but block marketing ones. This keeps the site functional while limiting tracking for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking comes from tools we use to run our educational platform. Our video hosting service tracks which design tutorials get watched completely versus which ones people skip through. Our email system knows if you open our monthly newsletter about new color theory research.
We choose these partners carefully, but they have their own privacy policies. When you use IdeaDeep, you're also interacting with these other services to some degree.
Updates and Changes
This policy gets updated whenever we add new tracking tools or change how we handle data. Major changes get announced through email to registered users. Small updates just get posted here with a new date at the top.
We're always trying to balance giving you a great learning experience with respecting your privacy. Sometimes that means adding new analytics to understand how people learn color theory online. Sometimes it means removing tracking that isn't actually helping anyone.
