Privacy Policy

1. Principles of Personal Information Processing

Using the Service requires no sign-up and no personal information. We collect an email address only when you choose to leave one in the feedback form so that we can reply (it is optional — you can send feedback without it). We process only the minimum information necessary to provide the Service, and we never read, copy, or retain the contents of your files.

2. Where Data Is Processed

The Service’s tools fall into two categories depending on where data is processed.

A. Tools Processed Within the Browser

For the following tools, the content and files you enter are processed solely within your browser (your device), and no data is transmitted to or stored on the Company’s servers or anywhere external.

B. Server-Processed Tools

For the following tools, files or input values are transmitted to the Company’s servers for processing. However, transmitted files are not stored on the server’s storage devices (disks); they are handled only in memory for as long as processing requires and are discarded immediately upon completion, and their contents are not viewed or retained.

Some tools (for example, Business Registration Number Lookup and Korean-to-English Address Conversion) send your input (a registration number, an address query, and the like) to public APIs operated by government agencies such as the National Tax Service and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Their handling of that data follows those agencies' own policies.

3. Information Collected Automatically

In the course of using the Service, the following information may be generated and collected automatically.

• Access information: IP address, browser type (User-Agent), and access date and time (server access logs)
• Usage records: non-identifying statistics such as the types of tools used, the file formats converted, and whether operations succeeded

Usage records are stored only in a non-identifying form, solely for the purpose of understanding which tools are used most and improving the Service, and do not include file contents or any personally identifiable information.

4. Information Collected When You Send Feedback

When you send feedback or an inquiry, we collect the following. The legal basis is your consent under Article 15(1)1 of the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea.

• Items collected: reply email (optional), message content, interface language, and the page path where the inquiry originated
• Purpose: replying to your inquiry and improving the Service
• Retention: destroyed within one year of the inquiry being resolved (or without delay upon your request)
• The email field is optional. If you leave it blank we cannot reply, but your message is still received.

5. Retention and Use Period of Personal Information

• Uploaded files: not stored on the server and discarded immediately upon completion of processing
• Access logs: retained for up to 3 months for security and error-response purposes, then deleted
• Non-identifying usage statistics: retained for the duration of the Service’s operation (no personally identifiable information)

6. Provision to Third Parties and Outsourcing of Processing

The Company does not sell or provide users’ personal information to outside parties. However, to provide a stable service, the Company may outsource the following tasks.

• Operation of cloud infrastructure (servers and networks): Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Ad delivery and traffic analysis: Google LLC (Google AdSense, Google Analytics)
• Inquiry and incident notifications: Slack Technologies, Inc. (United States)

7. Cookies and Advertising

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Service or other websites. We also use Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used, which sets analytics cookies.

• You can opt out of Google's use of advertising cookies at Google Ads Settings (google.com/settings/ads).
• You can opt out of third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
• You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
• You can refuse cookies entirely through your browser settings.

8. Rights of Users (Data Subjects)

Users may at any time request to access, correct, delete, or suspend the processing of their personal information. Because the Service is not membership-based, there is no separately stored personal information; however, you may request to review or delete automatically collected access logs using the contact below, and the Company will take action without delay in accordance with applicable law.

9. Overseas Transfer of Personal Information

We transfer personal information overseas as described below. You may refuse the transfer, in which case the related features (advertising, analytics, inquiry replies) may be unavailable.

• Recipient: Google LLC (United States) / Items: cookies, device identifiers, usage records / Purpose: serving ads and analyzing usage / When and how: transmitted over the network when you use the Service / Retention: per that provider's policy

10. Measures to Ensure the Security of Personal Information
