Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-09-28

This policy explains what information Mori's Korea collects, why, who helps us handle it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. It is part of our Terms of Use; the rules for points are in the Mori Points Terms.

The short version: reading the magazine and watching videos never requires an account, and the only visitor statistics we use are cookie-free, aggregate counts from Cloudflare Web Analytics — the site runs no advertising or tracking scripts of its own. When the members area opens and you create an account, we collect only what an account needs — your sign-in email, a one-time birth-year check, your points activity, and your comments. We don't sell your information.

1. Who we are

Mori's Korea (moryskorea.com) ("we," "us") runs this site and decides how information described here is used. For any question or request about your information — including seeing, correcting, or deleting it — see our Help & FAQ page or email moryskorea@gmail.com.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 When you just visit

2.2 If you create an account (when the members area opens)

Accounts, points, and comments are opening soon; this part describes what they will collect.

We don't collect your phone number, physical address, precise location, payment details, or government ID, and we don't collect your month or day of birth. We don't use your information for advertising or sell it.

3. Why We Use Your Information

4. Who Handles Your Information, and Where

We use these providers to run the site. They handle information for us, or (like Google Sign-In) under their own privacy policies:

We don't sell personal information or share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety or our rights, or if the project is sold or reorganized (in which case we'll tell you).

Because these providers work in several countries, your information may be processed outside the country where you live — including outside Korea, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom. Where the law requires safeguards for that, we rely on the providers' standard data-protection terms, such as standard contractual clauses. Reading and watching never requires an account, so you can avoid this by not creating one, and you can ask us to delete an account at any time.

5. How Long We Keep It

6. Your Rights and How to Use Them

Depending on where you live — for example under Korean law, the EU or UK GDPR, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, or California law — you may have the right to see the information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, limit or object to how we use it, get a copy of it, and withdraw your consent. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority (in Korea, the Personal Information Protection Commission).

To use any of these rights, email moryskorea@gmail.com with "Privacy request" in the subject line — ideally from the address you sign in with, so we can confirm it's you. The "Privacy requests" topic on the Help & FAQ page says what to include. Members can download a copy of their account data from the Account page, and its "Request account deletion" button opens a ready-made email to us. There's no one-click delete-my-account button yet, so for now correction and deletion requests, and any access request the download doesn't cover, are handled by email. We reply within 30 days, and we don't charge for reasonable requests. We'll never ask for your password.

Automated screening: new comments are screened automatically and may be held for a person to review. If you think a comment or an account was handled wrongly, ask us for a human review.

California and "Do Not Track": we don't sell personal information or share it for cross-context advertising, as those terms are used in California law. We don't track visitors across other websites, so we don't change how the site works in response to "Do Not Track" signals.

7. Children

Our minimum age for accounts is 14, in line with COPPA and similar children's-privacy rules elsewhere. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 14. When you first sign in we ask your birth year, once. If it shows you're under 14, we turn off points, comments, and other account features for that account, and we keep the birth year and that result so we don't ask again and the features stay off. Reading the magazine and watching videos is never affected, signed in or not. This is a self-declared check — we don't verify it against an ID.

If you're a parent or guardian and think a child under 14 has signed up, or you have a question about your child's information, email us and we'll delete the account's information. Some countries set a higher age for using online services, or require a parent's consent for teenagers; if that applies to you, you need that consent to have an account.

8. Cookies & Local Storage

You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Reading the site will still work; signing in won't if local storage is blocked. A content blocker may also stop the visitor-statistics script from loading; the site works the same either way.

9. Security

We use HTTPS, restrict database access so members can see only their own account data, keep what we collect small, and don't ask you to create a password on our site (you sign in with Google). No online service is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we'll tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

10. Changes to This Policy

We'll post any change on this page with a new Effective date. If a change materially affects what we collect or how we use it, we'll also put a notice on the site, and we'll ask for your consent where the law requires it.

11. Contact

For privacy inquiries, requests, and questions from parents and guardians, see our Help & FAQ page or email moryskorea@gmail.com with "Privacy request" in the subject line. 한국어로 문의하셔도 됩니다 — Korean-language inquiries are welcome.
