PRIVACY, COOKIES AND DATA USE
Korea Compass Privacy Policy
This policy explains how information may be collected, used, processed, and protected when you visit Korea Compass.
Korea Compass respects the privacy of its visitors. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be collected when you use this website and explains how third-party services, including Google, may process information.
By continuing to use Korea Compass, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy, subject to any consent choices or legal rights available in your country or region.
1. Information That May Be Collected
Korea Compass does not require visitors to create a user account to read public travel guides and pages. However, certain information may be processed automatically when you access the site.
This information may include:
- Internet Protocol address or approximate location information
- Browser type, operating system, and device information
- Language, screen size, and general technical information
- Pages visited and the approximate time spent on the site
- Referring pages, search terms, and general traffic sources
- Interactions with pages, links, advertisements, and site features
- Cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers
This information may be processed by Blogger, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and other services used to operate, secure, measure, and monetize the website.
2. Contact Form Information
When you voluntarily use the Korea Compass contact form, you may provide your name, email address, and message. This information is used to review the inquiry, investigate a reported issue, and respond when appropriate.
Do not submit passwords, passport numbers, identification documents, payment-card details, medical records, reservation numbers, or other sensitive personal information through the contact form.
Contact-form submissions may be processed through Blogger or Google services and delivered to the email account associated with the website administration.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that a website or third-party service may place on your browser or device. Cookies and similar technologies can support website functionality, remember preferences, measure traffic, maintain security, limit advertising frequency, and deliver or measure advertisements.
Korea Compass and third-party services may use first-party cookies, third-party cookies, local storage, pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website features, advertising preferences, analytics measurement, or the way third-party services operate.
More information about Google’s use of cookies is available in Google’s cookie policy.
4. Google AdSense and Advertising
Korea Compass uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to Korea Compass or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to show personalized or non-personalized advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit how often an advertisement appears, detect fraud, and provide advertising services.
Third-party advertising providers may place or read cookies on a visitor’s browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, and similar technologies in connection with advertising and measurement.
Visitors can learn how Google uses information from websites that use Google services by reviewing How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Visitors may manage advertising preferences and personalized advertising through Google My Ad Center.
The appearance of an advertisement does not mean that Korea Compass personally endorses, verifies, or guarantees the advertiser, product, service, price, claim, or destination shown in the advertisement.
5. Google Analytics
Korea Compass uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website. Google Analytics may process information such as the number of users, session activity, approximate geographic information, browser details, device information, traffic sources, and page interactions.
Analytics information helps identify useful content, technical problems, general audience patterns, and pages that may require improvement. Analytics reports are generally reviewed as aggregated website measurements rather than as personal travel profiles.
Korea Compass should not intentionally send personally identifiable information, such as contact-form email addresses, to Google Analytics.
Visitors can learn more through Google Analytics data safeguards.
Visitors who want to prevent Google Analytics from being used in their browser may review the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Consent and Privacy Controls
Depending on your location, you may see a consent message that allows you to accept, reject, or manage certain uses of cookies and personal data.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regulated regions may receive additional consent options required by applicable rules and Google advertising policies.
You can also manage cookies through your browser, review Google advertising preferences through My Ad Center, and adjust privacy settings available through the relevant service.
Rejecting optional cookies or personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertisements. Non-personalized or contextual advertisements may still be displayed where permitted.
7. External Links and Embedded Services
Korea Compass contains links to external websites, transportation operators, government organizations, attractions, booking services, map services, advertisers, and other third-party resources.
External websites have their own privacy practices, cookie policies, security measures, and terms. Korea Compass is not responsible for the content, availability, security, or data practices of an external website.
Interactive maps, advertisements, embedded content, and other third-party features may collect information according to the policies of the company providing the service.
8. Data Retention and Protection
Contact information should be retained only as reasonably necessary to review an inquiry, respond when appropriate, maintain relevant records, prevent misuse, or comply with applicable obligations.
Analytics, advertising, Blogger, and other third-party services may apply their own data-retention periods and security practices. Their processing is governed by their respective settings, terms, and privacy policies.
Reasonable care is taken when handling website inquiries, but no internet transmission, email service, contact form, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent.
The availability and scope of these rights depend on the applicable law, the type of information, the organization processing it, and any lawful exceptions.
Requests concerning information voluntarily submitted through the Korea Compass contact form may be sent through the Contact page. Requests concerning information controlled by Google or another third-party provider should be directed to that provider through its privacy tools.
10. Children’s Privacy
Korea Compass provides general travel information and is not intentionally directed at young children. The site does not knowingly request that children submit sensitive personal information.
A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information through the contact form may use the Contact page to request a review or deletion where appropriate.
11. Policy Changes and Contact
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website changes its services, advertising, analytics tools, contact methods, legal obligations, or privacy practices.
The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated review date. Visitors should review this page periodically if they want to understand the current policy.
