Privacy Policy

쿠폰피코 (the ‘Site’) is an information site that gathers store discounts in one place. The operator complies with the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea and processes personal information only to the extent needed to run the service. No sign-up is required to use it.

Business name or name: 쿠폰피코 운영자

3. Personal information we process

The Site has no sign-up, login, inquiry form or payment function. There is no screen at all that receives information users enter themselves, such as name, contact details, address or payment method.

The Site’s web server does not keep error logs. The only records the operator actually keeps are listed below.

• Web server access record — access time, requested page address, response result, referrer (the previous page address) and browser information. Used for service operation, responding to unauthorized access and visit statistics, and automatically deleted after 14 days. IP addresses are recorded only with the last part masked (for example: 203.0.113.0).
• Store click record — the time a user clicks a link to a store, the store and offer visited, the referrer (the previous page address) and a browser type classification. Users are told apart only by a one-way session hash calculated at the time of access, and the original IP address is neither sent nor stored.
• Article read count — only the number of reads of each Korean travel-planning article is kept. To count the same visitor only once a day, a one-way hash calculated at the time of access is used for that day only and deleted at the first request after the date changes. To filter repeated requests that inflate the number, access-origin information is kept in server memory for one minute only. The original IP address is not stored.
• Visit analytics record — pages visited, visit time, referrer, and device and browser information. Processed by Google Analytics and collected only if the user consents.

To prevent abuse, the Site briefly counts the number of code-check requests across the whole site, but this value stays in memory only for a short time and does not tell visitors apart.

4. Purposes of processing

• Providing the service — providing store and offer information and taking users to stores
• Settling affiliate commissions — confirming that a visit to a store came from this Site
• Preventing abuse — blocking abnormal bulk requests
• Usage statistics — counting which offers are used often, to improve the service

5. Retention and use period

The operator keeps records only for as long as needed to achieve the processing purposes above, and destroys them once the purposes are achieved. Where a law requires retention, that period applies.

6. Destruction of personal information

Records whose retention period has passed or whose processing purpose has been achieved are destroyed without delay. Electronic files are deleted in a way that cannot be recovered.

7. Provision to third parties

The operator does not provide users’ personal information to third parties. However, where there is an obligation to submit it under law, the relevant procedures are followed.

8. Outsourcing of processing

The operator outsources processing as follows, to the extent needed to run the service.

• Google LLC (Google Analytics) — visit analytics / cookies, pages visited, referrer, device and browser information

The processor handles personal information only under the operator’s instructions and the contract, and may not use it for any purpose other than the outsourced work.

9. Transfer abroad

The operator transfers personal information abroad as follows.

• Google LLC · United States · cookies, pages visited, referrer, device and browser information · visit analytics · retention period follows Google’s privacy policy

The transfer takes place over an encrypted network. You may refuse the transfer abroad — if you choose ‘Accept only when necessary’ in the notice at the bottom of the screen, analytics does not run, and there is no difference in how you use the Site.

10. Automatic collection devices (cookies) and how to refuse them

The Site uses Google Analytics to see visit statistics, and this tool stores cookies in your browser to tell visitors apart.

Nothing is measured before you consent. On your first visit, a choice notice appears at the bottom of the screen, and analytics cookies are not stored until you press ‘Accept all’. If you choose ‘Accept only when necessary’ or choose nothing, you can use the Site with measurement turned off.

Your choice is saved in your browser, so if you clear site data you will be asked again. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings. Google’s handling of data follows Google’s privacy policy.

The link a user follows to a store may include a technical identifier used to recognize that the visit came from this Site and to settle commissions. This identifier only tells visits apart, and it does not include the user’s name, contact details or email.

11. Rights and obligations of data subjects and how to exercise them

Under the relevant laws, users may request access to, correction of, deletion of, suspension of processing of, and withdrawal of consent for their personal information. Please send requests to contact@couponpico.com and they will be handled without delay.

However, information kept only in a form that cannot identify a specific person, such as click records (one-way hashes), cannot be tied to you, so it may be difficult to respond to requests for access or correction.

12. Personal information of children under 14

This service is not aimed at children under 14, and does not knowingly collect personal information of children for which a legal guardian’s consent is required.

13. Security measures

• The web server’s access and error logs are not stored.
• Original IP addresses are not stored; only irreversible one-way hash values are used.
• The public site uses the database read-only, and does not hold the keys that unlock offer codes and affiliate links.
• Original offer codes are stored encrypted and are not included in the HTML the public page sends down. A code is delivered in a separate request only when the user presses the button.
• Communication is encrypted with HTTPS.

Electronic transmission and storage can never be completely safe, but the operator keeps reviewing and improving protective measures to match the nature and risk of the information it processes.
