Data Korea Path handles
Korea Path first-party behavior analytics is off unless you explicitly allow it through the separate Analytics choices control. Before that choice, no behavior event is sent and earlier activity is not buffered for later transmission. If allowed, Korea Path may receive the event type, time, language, page path, content reference, referring host and a small set of interaction properties. Guides you choose to save remain in your browser's local storage and are not sent to Korea Path. Standard hosting and security systems may process request information such as an IP address, requested URL, browser or device information, timestamps and security signals to deliver and protect the service.
Optional first-party analytics
First-party analytics is operated by Korea Path and is separate from Google advertising consent. It does not create a durable visitor identifier or store a full referrer URL or user-agent string in the analytics event. When a server-side privacy salt is configured, the service may derive a rotating daily visitor hash from request information for aggregate counts; the hash changes each day and is not exposed to the browser. Raw analytics events and daily quota rows are scheduled for deletion after 90 days through a bounded daily cleanup that catches up on later runs when needed.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals keep this analytics off even if an older permission remains in browser storage. You can refuse initially or reopen Analytics choices and withdraw permission at any time. Withdrawal stops later events immediately.
Information you submit
A contact, correction or rights request can include your name, email address, page URL and message. We use that information to review and respond to the request, protect the service and keep an audit record where reasonably necessary. Same-origin and rate-limit controls use a secret-salted daily IP hash; the form record does not store a user-agent string. Active feedback records are scheduled for deletion after 180 days through bounded daily cleanup that catches up on later runs when needed.
- Do not include unnecessary sensitive information
- You may request access, correction or deletion; deleted live records can remain in a private backup for the period described below
- Contact records are not combined with advertising identifiers
Backups and deletion timing
Private recovery snapshots of the live database are stored under the restricted R2 backups/ prefix and expire 30 days after each snapshot is created. A record removed from the live database may remain in an earlier recovery snapshot until that snapshot expires, for up to 30 days after the live deletion. Recovery snapshots are not used for analytics or routine editorial access.
Google advertising and partner data
Korea Path is preparing to use Google AdSense only on eligible editorial pages. When Google advertising code is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and protect ads. Google and its advertising partners may serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to Korea Path or other websites.
A browser may send Google the page URL, IP address and browser or device information when a page uses Google services. Google may also set or read advertising cookies or other identifiers. Google explains the information it receives from partner sites and how it uses that information at the link below.
Consent and advertising choices
A Google-certified consent management platform is configured for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Where legally required, it requests consent for cookies or local storage and for the collection, sharing and use of personal data for personalized advertising. Refusing personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertising; non-personalized or limited ads may still use data for purposes such as delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention and aggregated measurement where permitted.
Visitors can use Google's message to refuse, grant or manage advertising consent and can reopen the privacy-choice control when it is available. Google Ads Settings also provides controls for personalized advertising. The separate Korea Path Analytics choices control never treats an advertising choice as permission for first-party analytics.
Your privacy choices
You can reopen Analytics choices to allow or withdraw optional first-party analytics. You can also clear locally saved guides, the analytics-choice record and advertising storage using your browser's site-data controls. You may request access to, correction of or deletion of information submitted through a Korea Path form; deleted live records can remain in a restricted recovery snapshot for up to 30 days. Use the contact page and include only the information needed to identify your request.
