Privacy and cookie choices

This page explains the data used by Korea Experience. Contact [email protected] about access, correction or deletion.

Reading and local planning

Cloudflare delivers the site and processes network requests for delivery and security. Saved guides and the browser trip board use storage on your device. They are not uploaded automatically. Clearing browser data removes those local copies. Do not put passport numbers, booking codes or sensitive details into travel notes.

Optional measurement

On the production site, optional Google Analytics measurement loads only after the analytics choice is accepted. It measures pages and actions such as tool completion and sharing handoffs. We do not send names, emails, private notes or the text of searches to analytics. Choosing essential only keeps core reading and planning available.

You can change the analytics choice using the cookie settings control in the footer. Browser privacy controls can also clear stored choices. Preview and development pages do not load production advertising or analytics.

Advertising

When advertising is enabled, Google may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and personalization subject to the consent offered in your region. Advertising consent is handled separately from our analytics choice. How Google uses information from partner sites.

Accounts and community, when enabled

Google sign-in provides the account identifier, verified email and basic profile information needed for authentication. Email sign-in sends a short-lived, single-use link using Resend. Cloudflare D1 stores the account, sessions, public display name, contributions, reactions, saved guides, moderation records and private plans. Authentication secrets and raw sign-in links are never public.

Posts, replies and updates are reviewed before publication. Your display name appears with approved contributions. Private plans remain private until you deliberately create a shared link. The preview lets you choose whether to include notes, exact addresses and dates; these are excluded by default. Anyone holding the link can read the selected snapshot. Later private edits do not change it, and revoking the link disables access. Avoid sharing personal information in a public contribution.

Deletion and retention

Account deletion removes active sessions, the profile, saved guides, private plans and shared links. You can choose to delete contributions or keep reviewed contributions anonymously. Moderation history may retain the action and reason without the deleted profile. Security counters and delivery budget records are minimized; operational backups may retain historical data until their retention period ends. We will not describe a backup as instantly erased.

External services and maps

Interactive maps load OpenStreetMap tiles only when requested; the tile service receives the map requests. External directions, social sharing and source links take you to those services and their policies. Downloaded share cards are created in your browser. Pressing Share or opening a social sharing window does not publish a post automatically.

Your questions

Ask us before posting sensitive information. If a community account control is unavailable, use the contact and correction page. We update this notice when the service changes.
