Privacy Notice

Under Article 8 of the Personal Data Protection Act, we are letting you know the following when we collect your personal data. Last updated: 6 Oct 2026.

Who collects your data?

Seal Life co. (海豹生活股份有限公司) (brand: Seal Co-living), which runs the website and the viewing booking form.

Why do we collect it?

• To arrange viewings (in person or video viewing), contact you and confirm the time
• When you decide to rent, to sign and carry out the lease and arrange your move-in
• To answer your questions, provide customer service and manage booking records
• To measure how the website is used and where visitors found us (for example search engines, AI assistants, social media, LINE), so we can improve the website and the way we present ourselves

These fall under the following specific purposes defined by law: "Contract, quasi-contract or other legal relationship affairs" (069), "Consumer and customer management and services" (090) and "Investigation, statistics and research analysis" (157).

What data do we collect?

• Identification and contact: name, phone number and country code, email, LINE name, LINE ID / Facebook / Instagram account
• Personal description: gender, date of birth, occupation or school, self-introduction, lifestyle habits, the time you usually go to sleep
• Viewing and rental needs: the houses and room types you want to see, planned move-in and move-out dates, viewing date, time slot and method, how you heard about us, and your message to us
• Form drafts: when you open the form from a personal link we sent you, what you have filled in so far is saved automatically to our system (you can continue later, and our staff can also see it); without a personal link, it is saved only in your own browser
• Browsing records: when you come in through a personal link, which house pages and booking pages you viewed. In addition, every page of the website (including the booking form) uses Google Analytics to measure browsing: which pages you view, how long you spend on them, what you do on the page (for example scrolling, clicking links to other websites, starting to fill in or submitting the form), which website or link you came from, your device and browser, your approximate region (estimated by Google from your IP address), and a random identifier in a browser cookie (see "Cookies and browser storage" below); it does not include what you enter in the form
• Source records: which website or link you came from when you first visited the website (the site name, for example Google or ChatGPT, and the campaign code in the link), the first page you viewed, and your language and the date. These are first saved in your own browser (if you come back to the website after 30 days, they are recorded again), sent to us with your booking form when you submit it, and kept with your booking record, where the staff member in charge can see them

How long do we keep it?

We keep it for as long as the specific purpose for which it was collected continues, and for any period during which laws or contracts require it to be kept.

Where is it processed, and who uses it?

• Location: Taiwan, and the places where our service providers are located:
  • Data is stored on Heroku (data centers in the USA), and the website is delivered through Cloudflare's global network.
  • The booking details you submit are sent to the staff in charge as a group notification through LINE (LY Corporation, Japan and Taiwan), whether or not you contact us on LINE. When you contact us through LINE, your messages are also processed by LINE.
  • Scheduled viewings (including your name) are recorded in Google Calendar (Google, USA).
  • The website's fonts are provided by Google Fonts (Google, USA), and your IP address is sent to Google when you browse the website.
  • Every page of the website uses Google Analytics, and browsing statistics are processed by Google (USA).
• Recipients: Seal Life co. and the service providers we commission to process data (hosting, network delivery, email sending, LINE, Google); and the competent authorities when the law requires it. We do not sell your personal data.
• Method: we use it electronically (and on paper when necessary) within the purposes above, for example to contact you, arrange viewings, sign leases and for internal management.

What rights do you have?

Under Article 3 of the Personal Data Protection Act, you can make the following requests to us:

• Inquire about your data or ask to review it
• Ask for a copy of your data
• Ask us to supplement or correct your data
• Ask us to stop collecting, processing or using your data
• Ask us to delete your data

Please contact us through our official LINE account or the email address listed on the website. Data that we must keep by law or by contract may not be deleted right away; if so, we will explain why.

What happens if you do not provide your data?

You are free to decide whether to provide it. If the required fields of the booking form are left empty, we cannot arrange a viewing; leaving optional fields empty does not affect your booking.

Cookies and browser storage

Every page of the website (including the booking form) uses Google Analytics (Google, USA) to measure browsing. It sets its own cookies in your browser: cookies named _ga and cookies whose names start with _ga_. They store a randomly generated identifier that is used to tell whether the same browser has visited before, and by default they are kept for up to 2 years. They are used to measure how the website is used and where visitors found us. Apart from these, the website itself does not set cookies on most pages; the booking form and personal link pages use cookies that are necessary for the website to work.

If you do not want to be counted by Google Analytics: you can install the "Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on" provided by Google https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. After installing it, you can still browse the website and book a viewing as usual. Deleting cookies whose names start with _ga in your browser clears the identifier already recorded (a new one is created the next time you browse). If you block all cookies for this website in your browser, Google Analytics will not count your visits, but the booking form cannot be submitted (the form needs the necessary cookies mentioned above); in that case, you can book a viewing through LINE instead.

The website uses your browser's local storage (localStorage, not cookies) to save the source records described above; without a personal link, a booking form you have partly filled in is also saved only there. Clearing this website's data in your browser settings deletes them.
