Privacy Policy

What is processed, and why

• Browsing this site creates no record that identifies you. There is nothing to sign up for, and no profile is built.
• If you email us, we receive your address and what you wrote, and use them only to reply.
• Delivering any website involves the visitor's IP address. Here it is processed by the services listed below, for delivery and security; we never see or store it ourselves.

What loads from other services

• Google Maps: map pages load the Google Maps JavaScript API from maps.googleapis.com and maps.gstatic.com, and the map’s own interface pulls its lettering and icons from Google Fonts at fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Google receives your IP address and request details, under Google’s own privacy policy. This site’s own text is served from this site, not from Google. Pages that do not show a map load nothing from Google.
• Images: all photos are copied to this site’s own servers, so viewing a page does not contact any image host.
• Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies, without fingerprinting, and without following you to other sites. It records aggregate details such as page, referrer, country, and browser. It sets nothing on your device and cannot identify you.

How long anything is kept

Enquiry email is kept only until the matter is settled, then deleted without undue delay — the address and the message both. Nothing else is retained: the site keeps no visitor records of its own, and the analytics above are aggregate counts that cannot be traced back to a person.

Provision to third parties

None. No personal information is sold, shared, or provided to any third party.

Processing entrusted to other companies

Serving the site is entrusted to Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting and delivery); pages with a map additionally use Google LLC (Google Maps). Each processes request data under its own terms — the details, including where that data goes, are in the next section.

Transfers outside Korea

Both companies above are based in the United States, so viewing this site sends request data abroad. For each, this section states what is transferred, to which country, when and how, to whom, for what purpose and how long, and how to refuse.

• Cloudflare, Inc. (United States; www.cloudflare.com) — your IP address and request details are sent over the network the moment any page loads, are processed at its global edge locations to deliver and secure the site, and are retained under its own policy. This transfer is what makes the site reachable at all.
• Google LLC (United States; policies.google.com) — your IP address and request details are sent over the network when a page with a map loads, are used to provide the map, and are retained under Google's policy. Pages without a map send nothing to Google.

To refuse: the Cloudflare transfer can only be avoided by not using the site, since every page is delivered through it. The Google transfer is avoided by not opening map pages — every place and list is fully readable without them.

Your location, if you ask for it

The map has a "Near me" button. It is used only when you press it, and only then does the browser ask your permission. Your coordinates are read once, used on your own device to sort the list by distance, and discarded — they are never sent to us or anyone else, never saved, and never added to the page address, so a link you share cannot carry them. Declining changes nothing except the ordering of the list.

Cookies and what is stored on your device

• psm_locale_banner — set for one year when you dismiss or follow the language suggestion, so it does not reappear. It contains a flag, nothing else.
• psm_locale_auto — set for one year when the front page sends you to your browser's language, so that happens only once and never overrides a language you chose yourself.
• Places you Save are kept in your browser's local storage on that device only (psm:saved). They are never sent anywhere, and clearing your browser data removes them.

To refuse: block or delete cookies for this site in your browser settings. The site keeps working — the language suggestion may reappear and saved places become unavailable, and that is the whole consequence. No cookie here is used for tracking or advertising.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, and have it corrected or deleted. In practice the only thing we could hold is enquiry email, and on request we will confirm or delete it. Requests go to the address below and are answered without undue delay.
