Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Koreadates.org is an independent publication covering online dating topics, and it is not owned by, partnered with, or otherwise tied to Koreadates or its operators. We write about Koreadates the way any outside reviewer might, and its name and trademarks stay with their owners.
This policy describes how we handle information on Koreadates.org and nothing else. Where the data described below is concerned, we act as the data controller, so we decide the purposes and the means of its use.
2. Age Requirement
You must be 18 or older to use this site. We don’t knowingly gather personal details from anyone younger. Should we discover that a minor has sent us information, we will remove it. If you suspect a young person has contacted us, let us know through the contact page so we can act.
3. What We Collect
The bulk of what we record is technical. Each time a page is requested, our servers note things like your IP address, browser, device type, which pages you looked at, and the time.
Anything you type into our contact form also reaches us, which usually means your name, email address, and the message itself.
We also rely on cookies, explained in Section 5.
4. How We Use Your Data
Technical records let us keep the site available and spot suspicious activity. Aggregated reading patterns show which articles are useful, which helps us decide what to update. Contact form messages are read so we can reply.
Some information may support advertising placed on the site, such as measuring how links perform. We will also use or disclose data when the law requires it.
5. Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small text files that a browser keeps so a site can recognise it later. We use them for basic site functions and for measuring traffic.
Our analytics come from Google Analytics, configured with IP anonymization, so reports reflect general audience trends rather than specific people. Your browser can refuse, limit, or delete cookies whenever you choose. Be aware that a few features may work less smoothly afterwards.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We may share aggregated figures that cannot be traced back to you, and we may disclose information if a court, regulator, or legal process requires it.
Some links on Koreadates.org are affiliate links. When you follow one and then sign up for or purchase something, we might receive a commission, and the price you pay is unchanged. Outside websites operate under their own privacy rules, which are beyond our control.
7. Retention and Security
We keep information for as long as it serves the purpose it was gathered for, or as long as the law requires. Afterwards it is erased or anonymized.
We review our protections periodically and apply sensible technical and organisational measures. However, no online service can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee that information sent over the internet will never fall into the wrong hands.
8. Your Rights
You can ask what personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate details, or ask for deletion. Cookie preferences live in your browser, and you may adjust them at any moment.
California residents. The CCPA lets you find out which categories of personal information we collect and why, obtain a copy of it, request its deletion, and exercise these rights without facing discrimination. We do not sell personal information. Send your request through https://koreadates.org/contact-us/ and state that it is made under the CCPA. Before fulfilling it, we may need to verify who you are.
9. Policy Updates
We can amend this policy when circumstances change. The revised version replaces the old one on this page, and the date at the top is updated. We do not email visitors about changes, so please revisit the page now and then. Continuing to browse after an update means you agree to it.
