This Privacy Policy explains what information Freepia ("we", "us", "the site", at https://freepia.kr) collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Freepia is a content website. You can read every guide without creating an account or submitting personal information. We collect data in two limited ways:
- Information you give us voluntarily — for example, your email address and message if you contact us at hello@freepia.kr. We use it only to reply and to improve our guides.
- Information collected automatically — like most websites, our servers and third-party tools may log technical data such as your IP address (often truncated/anonymized), browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to understand traffic and keep the site working.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve relevant advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may work differently if you do.
3. Analytics
We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to see how visitors use the site in aggregate — which guides are popular, how people arrive, and where they leave. These tools use cookies and may collect anonymized usage data. We do not use analytics to identify individual readers.
4. Advertising — Google AdSense and third parties
Freepia displays advertising to cover its running costs, including through Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's policy.
5. How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content
- To respond to messages you send us
- To measure and analyze traffic in aggregate
- To display and measure advertising
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse
6. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting, analytics and advertising partners), and only as needed for those services, or when required by law.
7. Data retention
Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping. Automatically collected technical and analytics data is retained according to the policies of the relevant service providers.
8. Children's privacy
Freepia is intended for adults handling life and paperwork in Korea. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email us at hello@freepia.kr. You can also control cookies and personalized ads through your browser and the opt-out links above.
10. International visitors
The site is operated from Korea and intended for an international, English-speaking audience. By using it, you understand that information may be processed in Korea and in the countries where our service providers operate.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site or applicable rules change. The "Effective date" above shows the latest revision. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
