Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Seoul Hits collects and uses information when you visit the site, create an account, submit content, contact us, or interact with our Korean entertainment community.

Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, profile details, comments, contact messages, newsletter signups, contributor applications, and article submissions.

We may also collect technical information when you use Seoul Hits, such as device type, browser, pages visited, approximate location, referral source, and basic usage activity.

How we use information

We use information to operate Seoul Hits, provide account features, publish and moderate comments, respond to messages, review contributor applications, send requested updates, improve the website, protect against abuse, and understand what content readers enjoy.

We may also use information for security, debugging, analytics, legal compliance, and enforcing our Terms and Conditions.

Accounts, comments, and profiles

If you create an account or interact with community features, some information may be visible to other users, such as your display name, profile image, public bio, comments, links you choose to share, or published author details.

Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information in public areas of the website.

Cookies and similar technologies

Seoul Hits may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, support website features, measure performance, and understand site traffic.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect some parts of the website.

Third-party services

We may use third-party services for hosting, authentication, analytics, email, forms, embedded media, security, and content tools. These services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

When Seoul Hits links to external websites, streaming services, social platforms, or databases, their privacy practices are separate from ours.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us run the website, when required by law, to protect Seoul Hits and our users, or as part of a business transfer involving the site.

Public content you submit, such as comments or published author information, may be visible to other visitors.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the website, maintain records, resolve issues, comply with legal obligations, and protect the community.

Some public or editorial content may remain available even if an account is changed or removed, especially when removal would affect published articles, comments, or site records.

Your choices

You may update account details where the website provides those settings. You can unsubscribe from optional emails using the unsubscribe instructions in the message, if available.

You may contact us to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal information. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

Children's privacy

Seoul Hits is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Seoul Hits grows or as our services change. The latest version will always be posted on this page with an updated date.
