Hello Korea (www.adconsensus.today, “the Site”)
publishes this Privacy Policy under Article 30 of the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea (PIPA).
This English text is provided for readers outside Korea; where the two versions differ, the Korean version at
/p/privacy-policy.html governs.
The Site is operated by an individual, Park Young-Kwang, who is the data controller
for the purposes of this policy. The Site sells no goods or services and has no member registration.
1. Information we process
The Site has no sign-up and does not directly collect names, national identification numbers or phone numbers.
The following information is processed.
| Category | Items | How it is collected |
|---|
| Automatically collected |
IP address, cookies, browser and operating system, date and time of visit, pages visited and navigation path, device type, approximate location |
Generated automatically as you use the Site |
| Comments |
Google account display name, profile image, comment text, timestamp |
When you leave a comment |
| Enquiries |
Email address and whatever you choose to write in your message |
When you email us |
What we process is the minimum necessary for the purposes above.
The Site is not directed at children under 14 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
2. Why we process it
- Operating the Site, delivering content, and analysing usage statistics
- Improving the service and diagnosing errors
- Serving advertising and measuring its performance
- Managing comments and replying to enquiries
We do not use personal information for purposes beyond those listed. If the purpose changes, we take the steps
required by Article 18 of PIPA.
3. How long we keep it
| Category | Retention |
|---|
| Automatically collected (analytics, advertising) | Up to 26 months from collection. Actual retention follows each provider's policy. |
| Comments | Until you delete them or the Site closes |
| Enquiry emails | Destroyed within one year after we reply |
Where another law prescribes a retention period, that period applies.
4. How we destroy it
When the retention period ends or the purpose is achieved and the information is no longer needed,
we destroy it without delay.
- Procedure. We identify the information for which a ground for destruction has arisen and
destroy it after review by the Data Protection Officer.
- Method. Electronic files are permanently deleted by means that make recovery impossible;
printed material is shredded or incinerated.
- Where retention is required. Where another law requires retention, we store the information
separately for that period and destroy it afterwards.
5. Sharing with third parties
We do not provide your personal information to third parties, except where Articles 17 and 18 of PIPA allow it —
for example where a law specifically provides for it, or where an investigative authority requests it through lawful process.
6. Processors
We entrust processing to the following providers.
| Processor | Purpose |
|---|
| Google LLC | Blog hosting and comments (Blogger) |
| Google LLC | Usage analytics (Google Analytics), where used |
| Google LLC | Advertising and performance measurement (Google AdSense), where used |
Our agreements with processors set out their obligations for safe handling. If a processor changes, we disclose it here.
7. Transfers outside Korea
The processors above are located outside Korea, so your information may be transferred abroad.
Legal basis for the transfer. The Site transfers personal information abroad under Article 28-8(1)3(a) of the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea: the transfer is a delegation or storage of processing necessary to enter into and perform a contract with the data subject, and the matters listed in Article 28-8(2) are disclosed in this policy, as set out below. We do not rely on separate consent under Article 28-8(1)1.
The countries and retention periods above follow Google's own published documents. We do not set them ourselves.
How to refuse the transfer, and what refusing does (Article 28-8(2)5). You can refuse cookie storage in your browser as described in section 9, or stop using the Site. There is no application to file — your browser setting takes effect immediately. If you refuse, ads are not matched to your interests, your visit is not counted in the traffic statistics, and features that rely on cookies may not work. Reading the posts is unaffected.
8. Your rights and how to exercise them
You may at any time ask us to:
- let you access your personal information
- correct it if it is wrong
- delete it
- stop processing it
Email the contact in section 11 and we will act without delay. You can delete your own comments yourself at any time.
A legal representative or an authorised agent may exercise these rights on your behalf, on presenting the authorisation
form prescribed by the Notice on Methods of Personal Information Processing.
