Privacy policy

The Service receives the following only when you enter it yourself or consent to it.

• Sign-up and sign-in— Your email address. If you sign in with Google or Kakao, the email, nickname and profile image those services provide.
• Shop reports— The content of your report. A contact (email or similar) is optional; you can report without one.
• Newsletter— Your email address.
• Shops, routes and stories you post— The text and photos you write, and the nickname shown with them.
• Collected automatically— Visit history, device and browser information and approximate location are collected by our analytics tools through cookies and similar technologies (section 5). To prevent spam and flooding, we also check your IP address in server memory momentarily when you report or subscribe; it is never written to the database.

Your saved list and list/map view preference live only in your browser's localStorage and are not sent to our servers. If you sync them to your account while signed in, they are stored against that account.

• Keeping you signed in, and identifying your own content — saves, reviews, posts
• Reviewing and applying reports, and replying to the reporter where needed
• Sending the newsletter (subscribers only)
• Analysing usage statistics and improving the interface and features
• Preventing spam, flooding and abuse

• Account data— Destroyed without delay when you close your account or ask us to delete it.
• Shops, routes, stories and reviews you posted— Destroyed on request, and deleted along with your account.
• Contact details left with a report— Destroyed as soon as the report is closed (applied or rejected). Even if handling is delayed, they are destroyed automatically six months after we receive them.
• Report text and handling history— Kept so we can show the basis on which a listing was changed. Anything identifying a person is removed first, as above, and we destroy the rest without delay on request.
• Newsletter subscription— Destroyed when you unsubscribe.
• Data held by analytics tools— Governed by each provider's retention policy (Google Analytics up to 14 months, Microsoft Clarity up to 13 months).

Where other laws impose a retention obligation, we keep the data for that period.

The Service never sells personal data or provides it for advertising. We do entrust processing to the providers below, to the extent needed to run the Service; their servers may be located outside Korea.

The Service uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to analyse usage.

• Google Analytics 4— We look at visit counts, referral sources and how people move between pages. Google's opt-out add-onwill stop this collection.
• Microsoft Clarity— To see which buttons get pressed and where people get stuck, it records clicks, scrolling and on-screen interaction (session replay). By default Clarity masks on-screen text such as anything typed into a field, email addresses and phone numbers. Microsoft's privacy statementis also worth reading.
• Browser settings— Blocking cookies, tracking protection and private browsing all work too. Note that blocking cookies entirely may stop you from staying signed in.

You may at any time ask to see, correct, delete or stop the processing of your personal data. Most of this you can do yourself once signed in; for account deletion or anything else, contact us below and we will act without delay and confirm the outcome.

Children under 14 may not register, and we do not knowingly collect children's personal data.

Once the retention period passes or the purpose ends, we destroy the data without delay. Electronic files are deleted irrecoverably; any printouts are shredded or incinerated.

• All traffic is encrypted over HTTPS.
• We never store passwords. Sign-in uses an email link or Google/Kakao authentication.
• The database uses row-level security so you can only reach your own data.
• Administrative access to personal data is limited to the operator alone.

For questions, complaints or remedies concerning personal data, please contact us below.
