We never store ID documents or passwords for other services.
Member features (sign-in, chat rooms, local tip posts and feedback forms) are being prepared. We are not accepting member sign-ups at the moment, and we do not collect new member information or user posts. Before member features reopen, we will update this policy and announce the changes here.

We do not ask for or store your name, email address, password, national ID or residence numbers (such as Korea's resident registration number or Japan's My Number), date of birth, ID photos or photos of your face. We do not store visitors' IP addresses or device information in our own database.

The site runs on cloud infrastructure outside your country, such as Cloudflare, and analytics data is processed by Google. You can refuse analytics collection by blocking cookies in your browser or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Daily visit totals, which cannot identify individuals, may be kept as statistics. Analytics data is kept by Google for the retention period set in Google Analytics. If any information was stored while member features were running, we will check and delete it on request.
You may ask us to tell you how your personal data is used, and to disclose, correct, add to, delete or stop using it. Contact us at the address below, stating what you would like us to do. After confirming your identity, we will respond within a reasonable time as required by applicable law.

This policy takes effect on September 25, 2026. When we introduce member features or an external age-verification service, we will announce what we store, which providers we use and how long we keep it.
