Privacy
This policy describes the data used by the website’s current features and the choices available to visitors and members.

1. Principles & Transparency
ALISOPLAY is dedicated to assisting residents, international workers, students, and visitors in South Korea. We operate on a strict data-minimization philosophy: we do not collect unnecessary data, we never sell personal information, and we do not conduct invasive cross-site tracking.
Browsing public guides, Korea updates, the directory, and unified search requires no registration. Core discovery features remain freely accessible without personal identification.
2. Data We Actually Process
The platform processes information you provide and technical information generated when you use the service:
- Registered Member Profile: Email address, chosen display name, securely hashed password, and interface language preference.
- Guest Personalization: Selected topics and regional preferences (e.g. Seoul, Busan) used strictly to reorder guide modules on your device.
- Saved & Followed Content: List of guides saved by registered members for quick reference and checklist progress.
- Inquiries & Corrections: Reply email address, category, and explanation submitted via the public contact or correction forms.
3. Ask Me & Search Privacy
Both Ask Me and Unified Search are architected with built-in privacy protection:
- Unified Search: Operates statelessly through URL parameters without building persistent search profiles or selling query intent.
- Ask Me Inquiries: Ask Me processes your question and conversation context to answer. Sanitized question examples, topic demand and reusable answers may be retained to improve coverage. When the optional Gemini service is enabled, relevant question/context and source information may be sent to Google. Do not include passwords, identity numbers or other sensitive personal information.
4. Accounts & Authentication
Passwords are protected using individual salts and secure hashing algorithms. Cleartext passwords are never stored or logged.
Google Sign-In uses Google/Firebase authentication. ALISOPLAY stores your sign-in identifier, verified email, display name and account/session records. The requested sign-in scopes are identity, email and basic profile; this does not request access to Gmail or Drive. Google processes authentication under its own privacy terms.
7. Analytics & Advertising
The production website uses Google Analytics 4 to measure page visits and feature interactions. Google may process device, browser and page information and use analytics cookies. Server logs also support security and abuse prevention. Browser settings can restrict cookies; blocking them may affect some features.
Google AdSense integration is restricted to eligible public home and guide pages. Availability of the integration does not mean advertisements are approved or displayed. Private, authentication and unfinished pages are excluded. Google advertising services have their own privacy practices.
8. External Official Links
ALISOPLAY guides provide direct links to official Korean ministries and public agencies (including HiKorea, MOEL, NHIS, and GOV.KR).
When navigating to external websites, your interactions are governed by their respective privacy policies. ALISOPLAY is not responsible for the privacy practices of external domains.
9. User Choices & Control
Users retain complete control over their personal choices and preferences:
- Modify topic and regional guide preferences at any time via the Categories page.
- Update profile details or modify authentication credentials from your account dashboard.
- Instantly opt out from newsletter updates using the authenticated link in any email.
