Terms of Use

By accessing or using this website, you agree to follow these terms and local laws. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

Privacy Policy (PIPEDA)

We follow Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to operate this site.

What we collect: information you submit via the contact form (name, email, subject, message, type, and locale). We use this only to respond to your inquiry and to improve service quality. We do not sell your personal information.

Storage & retention: messages are stored securely and retained only as long as necessary for support and compliance. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us.

International processing: our infrastructure may be located outside Canada (e.g., Korea). We take reasonable measures to protect your data consistent with PIPEDA principles.

Cookies & Analytics

We use only essential cookies needed to operate the site. If analytics (e.g., Google Analytics 4) is enabled in the future, IP anonymization and privacy-respecting settings will be used. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies; core features will remain available.

Advertising & Sponsorship

At the MVP stage, we may use Google AdSense only. Ads are not shown at the top of sensitive sections (e.g., visa or education). Ads do not influence our editorial content.

Sponsored posts or affiliate links, if any, will be clearly labeled. We strive to ensure ads comply with local policies in Canada and Korea.

Sources & Fair Use

We rely on public RSS feeds, official announcements, open data, and publicly available posts. We use titles, summaries, and links within allowed scope and always attribute original publishers.

If you are a rights holder and believe your content has been used beyond fair use, please contact us with the URL and details. We will review and respond promptly.

Copyright & Takedown

All trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners. Our original content is © Canada–Korea Insights unless otherwise stated.

DMCA-style takedown: send your request with identification of the copyrighted work, the specific URL, your contact information, and a good-faith statement. We will remove or restrict access where appropriate.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by local law.

Policy Updates

We may update this page as our services or laws evolve. Material changes will be reflected with an updated date above.
