To enable our customers to use our services with confidence, we strive to appropriately protect and manage the personal information entrusted to us. We comply with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information and all other applicable laws and regulations. “Personal information” refers to information that can identify a specific individual — such as name, date of birth, and address — including information that, when readily combined with other information, can be used to identify a specific individual.
Purposes of Use of Personal Information
When providing information that you require — such as during service registration or information searches — we collect only the minimum information necessary. We will never use the personal information we have collected for any purpose other than those for which you have given consent.

When using personal information, we will not disclose it to third parties without the customer’s prior consent, except for verifying entered information for purchases made via advertisements or affiliate links. However, we may use such information in statistical data and similar formats that do not identify individual customers. Additionally, if requested to disclose personal information by a court, public prosecutor’s office, police, bar association, or any organization with equivalent legal authority, we will disclose the personal information without the customer’s consent.
Measures Taken for the Safe Management of Retained Personal Data
