Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is fundamental to how we operate. We implement multiple security layers to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.

Technical Safeguards

  • SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive information
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
  • Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems
  • Secure backup procedures with encrypted archives

Organizational Measures

  • Access controls limiting who can view your data
  • Employee training on data protection practices
  • Confidentiality agreements with staff and contractors
  • Incident response procedures for potential breaches

While we use industry-standard security practices, no system is completely immune to risks. We can't guarantee absolute security but we continuously work to minimize vulnerabilities.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

Data Type Retention Period

After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your data so it can no longer identify you.

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve functionality and understand how visitors use our site.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features like security, session management, and access to protected areas. You can't opt out of these while using our services.

We use these to understand visitor behavior and improve our website. The data collected is aggregated and doesn't personally identify you. You can disable these through your browser settings.

Managing Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Blocking certain cookies might affect how our website works for you. Check your browser's help section for instructions on managing cookies.

International Data Transfers

Our primary operations are based in South Korea, but some of our service providers operate servers in other countries. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

We only work with providers who meet international data protection standards and implement security measures equivalent to Korean requirements under PIPA.

Our services aren't directed at children under 14 years old. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we've inadvertently gathered data from a child, contact us immediately so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on our website.

The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we most recently revised this document. Continuing to use our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
