Every piece of information we collect serves a specific purpose in delivering and improving our budgeting platform. We're committed to using your data responsibly and only for legitimate business purposes.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your financial data remains confidential and is used solely to provide you with budgeting insights and platform functionality.
Service Delivery
Your information enables us to provide core budgeting features, generate personalized financial reports, and maintain your account security. We use your data to process transactions, manage subscriptions, and provide customer support when you need assistance with the platform.

In the unlikely event of a security incident affecting your personal information, we'll notify you within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what steps we're taking to resolve the issue.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our budgeting services and comply with legal obligations. Understanding our retention practices helps you plan for long-term use of the platform.
Active Account Data
While your account remains active, we maintain all your budgeting data to ensure consistent service delivery. This includes your financial records, account settings, and usage history. You can delete specific budget entries or categories at any time through your account dashboard.
Account Closure
When you close your Desktopblock account, we begin a 30-day deletion process. During this period, you can reactivate your account if you change your mind. After 30 days, we permanently delete all your personal information, including budgeting data, except where we're legally required to retain certain records.
Legal Retention Requirements
Some information, such as payment records and tax-related data, may be retained longer to comply with financial regulations in Thailand and international jurisdictions where we operate. These records are stored securely and used only for compliance purposes.
International Data Transfers
Desktopblock operates globally, which means your information may be processed in countries other than Thailand. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place whenever your data crosses international borders.
Cross-Border Data Protection
When we transfer your information internationally, we use approved transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions. Our service providers in other countries must meet the same privacy and security standards we maintain in Thailand.
Regional Compliance
We comply with applicable privacy laws in all jurisdictions where we operate, including GDPR requirements for European users and similar regulations in other regions. This means you benefit from strong privacy protections regardless of where your data is processed.

Desktopblock uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and understand how you interact with our platform. You have control over these technologies and can adjust your preferences at any time.
Essential Cookies
We use necessary cookies to maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and ensure platform functionality. These cookies are required for the service to work properly and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use Desktopblock effectively.
Analytics and Performance
Analytics cookies help us understand which features are most valuable to users and identify areas for improvement. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users. You can opt out of analytics tracking through your browser settings or our cookie preference center.
Children's Privacy
Desktopblock is designed for adults managing personal or business finances. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it immediately.
