TransitPick (the "Site") protects users' personal information under the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea. This page explains what information the Site handles and how.
1. Personal information we handle, why, and how long we keep it
The Site has no sign-up and no login.
Values you enter, like the number of days and rides a day, are calculated only inside your browser. The Site does not receive or store these values on a server.
The Site handles the information below only when you contact us by email.
- Information collected: the sender's email address, the name shown in the email, the message, and the date sent
- Purpose: to answer your message
- Legal basis: Personal Information Protection Act, Article 15(1)4
- How long we keep it: we delete it 3 months after the day we reply
2. Information stored in your browser
The Site stores only 1 thing in your browser's storage (localStorage): the city you chose (Seoul or Busan). It is saved under the name "city."
- Purpose: to keep showing the city you chose when you move to other pages
- This value stays only on your device. We do not send it to a server.
- This value cannot identify you.
- How to delete it: in your browser settings, delete this site's data (site data).
- If you block storage, you can still use the Site. It then starts with Seoul.
The Site itself does not set any cookies. Google Analytics and ad cookies are explained in section 4.
3. Information recorded automatically
The hosting company of the Site may automatically handle access logs (IP address, browser info, access time) for security and stable service. The company in section 8 below handles these logs.
To learn how the Site is used, we use 2 visitor statistics tools.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics: collects only statistics such as the number of visits, pages viewed and the countries visitors come from, without cookies.
- Google Analytics: uses cookies. Section 4 below explains it in detail.
4. Cookies and ads
A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser. Your browser sends it back automatically on your next visit.
Google AdSense ads may appear on this site. Google (Google LLC) collects visit records and browser info for this site through ad code and cookies. Google uses this information to show ads, show personalized ads, and measure ad results.
Third-party ad companies, including Google, may show ads based on your past visits to this site or other sites.
- You can turn off Google personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.
- To see how Google uses cookies in ads, read Google ad cookie info.
- To see how Google uses information from partner sites, read Google partner sites info.
- You can refuse personalized ad cookies from other third-party ad companies at www.aboutads.info.
Google Analytics (visitor statistics)
We use Google Analytics to learn how the Site is used, such as which pages are viewed and how often. Google Analytics stores cookies and sends your IP address, browser info, the pages you view and how long you stay to Google (Google LLC, United States). The operator sees only statistics that cannot identify who you are.
- If you install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or refuse cookies as shown in section 5, this information is not collected.
- If you visit from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we do not use Google Analytics or ad cookies until you give consent.
5. How to refuse cookies
In your browser settings, you can refuse to store cookies or delete stored cookies.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- iPhone Safari: Settings → Apps → Safari → Advanced → Block All Cookies
- Samsung Internet: Menu → Settings → Privacy → Smart anti-tracking
If you refuse cookies, you can still use the Site. Ads may be less personalized.
6. Fonts from outside sites
Screen fonts (Pretendard, Pretendard JP, Noto Sans SC, Noto Sans TC) load from jsDelivr. jsDelivr may receive general access info (IP address, browser info) at that time.
7. Links to outside sites
The Site has links to the sites of transit operators and card and pass sellers. When you tap a link and go to another site, that site's privacy policy applies.
8. Sharing with third parties, outsourcing, and moving information abroad
The Site does not give users' personal information to third parties. To run the Site, we use the companies below.
- Cloudflare, Inc.: website hosting and delivery, security (handling access logs), visitor statistics (Cloudflare Web Analytics), forwarding contact emails
- Google LLC (Gmail): receiving and keeping contact emails
- Google LLC (Google Analytics): visitor statistics
These companies' servers are outside Korea, so personal information may be moved outside Korea.
- Basis: Personal Information Protection Act, Article 28-8(1)3 (outsourcing and storage)
- Information transferred: access logs (IP address, browser info, access time), visitor statistics (pages viewed, time spent), contact emails (email address, name, message)
- Countries: the United States and other countries where each company runs servers
- When and how: when you visit the Site or send an email, sent encrypted over the internet
- Receivers: Cloudflare, Inc. (privacyquestions@cloudflare.com), Google LLC (Google privacy contact)
- Purpose and how long: to do the work above. Contact emails are kept for the period in section 1.
- How to refuse and what happens: if you do not want this, you do not have to email us, but then we cannot reply to you. You can still use the Site.
Information that Google (ads and Analytics) and jsDelivr (fonts) collect on their own follows each company's privacy policy.
9. How we delete information
When the keeping period ends or the purpose is met, we delete it right away. We delete contact emails from both the inbox and the trash so they cannot be restored. We do not keep paper copies. We do not store any personal information separately to meet other laws.
10. Steps to protect personal information
Only the operator uses the account that receives contact emails. We turn on 2-step verification and delete emails after the keeping period. The Site is provided only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
11. Children under 14
The Site does not specifically collect personal information from children under 14. If you are under 14 and want to email us, please send the email together with a parent or guardian.
12. Your rights and how to use them
You can ask at any time to see, fix or delete your personal information, or to stop its handling. If you ask through the contact in section 13 below, we will tell you the result within 10 days after checking who you are. You can also ask through a legal representative or a person you authorize. The law may limit some requests.
