Privacy Policy

PromptSearch Inc. (the "Company") sets out this Privacy Policy under the Korean Personal Information Protection Act to protect the personal information of people who use PromptSearch (www.ptsearch.info, the "Service") and to deal quickly with their concerns.

1. What we process and why

2. How long we keep it

The Company destroys personal information without delay once its purpose is met. Member information is kept until the member closes their account; on closing, the login name, e-mail address, password, profile (nickname, image, bio) and adult verification details are deleted at once. Posts and comments not deleted before closing stay, with the author shown as "deleted_number". The following is kept for the periods below.

3. Sharing with third parties

The Company does not use personal information beyond the purposes in section 1 or give it to third parties, except with the person's consent or when investigative or other authorities ask for it through the procedures the law sets.

When a member applies as a business, the Company checks the business's status by looking up its registration number, representative's name and opening date with the National Tax Service's business registration lookup (Public Data Portal), and gives the National Tax Service what it needs to issue and report tax invoices.

4. Processors

To provide the Service, the Company has the following companies process personal information on its behalf.

The Company's contracts with processors forbid processing beyond the work given, require security measures, limit sub-processing and provide for damages, and the Company oversees them. Changes of processor are announced in this policy.

5. Transfers abroad

Cloudflare and Google in section 4 are based outside Korea, so personal information is transferred abroad as below while the Service is used. People who do not want this can refuse by closing their account, but they then cannot use the Service.

The Service loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so the browser sends its IP address and browser information to Google's servers when doing so.

6. How we destroy it

• Personal information whose period has ended or whose purpose is met is destroyed without delay. Information kept under the law is stored separately from other information.
• Electronic files are deleted so they cannot be recovered; paper documents are shredded or burned.

7. Your rights

• You can ask at any time to see, correct, delete or stop processing your personal information, and withdraw consent.
• You can change your profile, e-mail address and password, and close your account, in the account settings. For anything else, e-mail the privacy officer below; requests are handled within 10 days.
• A legal representative or someone you authorise can also make requests, with a letter of authorisation.
• Information other laws require us to keep cannot be deleted on request.

8. Children under 14

The Service does not accept sign-ups from children under 14. If we find we have collected a child's personal information, we destroy it without delay.

9. Cookies

• The Company uses cookies to keep you logged in (session), for security (CSRF), to remember your language, and to remember the Recommended tab's order and which tab you chose. The dark-mode setting is kept in browser storage (localStorage).
• For logged-in members, the language last used is also saved with the account, so notifications sent while you are away (such as app pushes) are written in it. It is deleted with the account.
• Visitors who are not logged in get a cookie with a random value so impressions and clicks on the Recommended tab can be grouped. It cannot identify a person.
• The Company does not use advertisers' tracking cookies.
• The same random value is used to count daily visitors and how they arrived (the previous site's domain, the kind of first page, the country, and whether the app was used), and uses of a post's "Remix in Studio" button. No IP address is stored for these statistics. When you log in, the value is linked to your member number so sign-ups can be counted by where they came from; after you leave, the statistics are no longer linked to a member.
• You can refuse cookies in your browser settings; some features such as logging in will then not work.

10. Activity data and recommendations

To order posts in the Recommended tab, the Company uses impressions, clicks, likes, prompt copies, box saves, subscriptions, "Not interested" marks and searches within the Service. For logged-in users, these records are used to work out the categories and prompt words they are interested in and to move posts they have already seen further down. "Not interested" marks are kept until the user undoes them or deletes the account. This information is not sent outside the Service or used for other companies' ads. Choosing the Latest tab instead of Recommended turns this ordering off.

The Company uses members' activity records (posts, likes, prompt copies, subscriptions and playlist adds received, Studio generations, generations other members started from their posts, days active and sign-up date) to give profile badges and titles and show them on the profile. No new information is collected for this. Members can choose which badges to show, or hide them all, in Settings › My badges, and badges based on days active are not shown until the member places them.

11. Security measures

• Passwords are stored with one-way encryption that cannot be reversed.
• All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS.
• Only a minimal number of administrators can reach personal information, and the admin address and access rights are managed separately.
• Attempts to log in, reset passwords and sign up are rate-limited, and bot access is blocked.

12. Privacy officer

• Privacy officer: Park Hyongsok (CEO)
• E-mail: promptsearch1018@gmail.com
