Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026 (KST)

PlanMyKorea ("we," "our," or "this website") is an independent travel information website created to help international visitors plan trips to South Korea.

We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about what information may be collected and how it may be used.

1) Information We Do Not Collect Directly

We do not ask visitors to submit personal information in order to read most content on this website.

In particular, we do not provide:

• Account registration
• Comment sections
• User-submitted posts
• Direct name/email collection for browsing

You can browse this website without creating an account.

2) Information That May Be Collected Automatically

Like most websites, limited data may be collected automatically through standard server logs and third-party services.

This may include:

• IP address (often treated as personal data in some regions)
• Browser type and settings
• Device and operating system information
• Pages visited and approximate time on page
• Referring/exit pages, general location (approximate region)

This information is generally used for:

• Website security and performance
• Traffic measurement and site improvement
• Advertising delivery and measurement (where applicable)

3) Third-Party Services We Use

PlanMyKorea uses third-party services that may place cookies or use similar technologies.

These services may include:

• Google AdSense (advertising)
• Google Analytics (traffic analysis)
• Microsoft Clarity (user behavior analytics such as interactions and usage patterns)
• Cloudflare (security, performance, and content delivery)

These providers may collect data automatically as described above, according to their own privacy policies.

4) Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This website and our service providers may use cookies (or similar technologies) for:

• Essential functionality and security
• Measuring traffic and improving site usability
• Advertising delivery and ad measurement

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Disabling cookies may affect certain site functions.

5) Advertising (Google AdSense)

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

6) We Do Not Sell Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data.

Some third-party services may process data for analytics or advertising purposes as described above. We do not receive or store sensitive personal information such as passport numbers, payment details, or government IDs.

7) International Visitors

PlanMyKorea is used by visitors from many countries. Depending on your location, you may have rights under privacy laws (such as GDPR in the EEA/UK or certain U.S. state laws).

Because we do not operate user accounts and do not directly collect sensitive personal information, most data processing occurs through the third-party services listed above. You can typically exercise controls through:

• Cookie controls in your browser
• Provider opt-out or ad personalization tools (see links above)

8) Data Security

We take reasonable technical measures to help protect the website and reduce risk (for example, security and performance tools).

However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use this website at your own discretion.

9) External Links

This website may contain links to external websites.

We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.

10) Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed for children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any updates will be posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
