Your privacy is important to us. At Gachi Korean (가치 한국어), we prioritize your privacy and are committed to complying with all relevant privacy laws and regulations concerning your personal information. This includes information collected across our website, https://gachikorean.com, and other services we operate.
Personal information refers to any data that can be used to identify you. This includes information about you (such as your name, email address), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use our website or online services. In the event our website contains links to third-party sites and services, please note that these sites have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies, as this Privacy Policy does not apply once you leave our website.
Information we collect falls into two categories: “voluntarily provided” information and “automatically collected” information.

Additionally, if you encounter certain errors while using the website, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.

Once your personal information is no longer needed for this purpose, we will either delete it or anonymize it by removing any identifying details.
However, in some cases, we may retain your information longer if required for legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or for purposes such as archiving in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical analysis.
