Article 1. Purposes of Processing Personal Information
Onleave processes personal information for the following purposes. Personal information is not used beyond these purposes; if a purpose changes, Onleave will take necessary measures such as obtaining separate consent under Article 18 of PIPA.
- Membership management — confirming intent to join, identifying and authenticating members for member services, maintaining membership, preventing misuse, sending notices, and handling grievances.
- Content and community services — publishing posts, comments, ratings, and images, and providing likes, bookmarks, and author-follow features.
- Events — receiving entries, drawing winners, and announcing results.
- Stable operation — diagnosing service errors and preventing misuse.
- Service improvement — analyzing visit statistics, only where the data subject has consented.
Article 2. Personal Information Items Processed
Onleave processes the following items without separate consent based on Article 15(1)4 of PIPA ('conclusion and performance of a contract'). Sign-up is available only through Kakao or Google account login; Onleave does not collect or store passwords of its own.
| Category | Items | How collected |
|---|---|---|
| Membership management | Email address, nickname (display name), profile image | Provided by Kakao/Google (social login) |
| Content and community use | Profile bio, posts, comments, ratings, uploaded images, likes/bookmarks/follows | Entered directly by the user |
| Events | Entry records, winner status | Generated upon entry |
| Generated automatically during use | Sign-in session cookie, access logs | Collected automatically during use |
Onleave also processes the following item with the data subject's consent, based on Article 15(1)1 of PIPA ('consent').
- Visit-statistics analysis (service improvement) — service-usage records via the GA4 analytics cookie (pages visited, session duration, online identifiers). Collected only if you choose 'Allow' in the cookie consent banner; declining does not limit your use of the Service.
※ Onleave does not process sensitive information, resident registration numbers or other unique identifiers, or pseudonymized information. Children under 14 may not register; Onleave does not collect children's personal information and will destroy any found to have been collected without delay.
Article 3. Processing and Retention Period
- Onleave processes and retains personal information within the retention period required by law or necessary for the conclusion and performance of the contract.
- The respective retention periods are as follows.
| Category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Membership management | Until account deletion |
| User-generated content (posts, comments) | Until deleted by the user or account deletion |
| Event entry and winner records | Until account deletion |
| Access logs | 3 months under Article 15-2 of the Protection of Communications Secrets Act |
- Where an investigation into a violation of law is in progress, information is kept until that investigation concludes.
- Posts and comments not deleted by the user may remain on the Service without identifying the author after account deletion. Delete them beforehand or request removal via the contact in Article 10.
Article 4. Destruction Procedures and Methods
- Onleave destroys personal information without delay when it becomes unnecessary, such as upon expiry of the retention period or fulfillment of the processing purpose.
- Where information must be preserved under other statutes despite expiry or fulfillment, it is moved to a separate database or storage location.
- Procedure: information subject to destruction is identified and destroyed with the approval of the privacy officer.
- Method: information in electronic files is permanently deleted using technical methods that make the records irrecoverable.
Article 5. Provision to Third Parties
Onleave does not provide personal information to third parties. Exceptions apply only with the data subject's prior consent or where specifically permitted by law, including Articles 17 and 18 of PIPA, and only to the minimum extent necessary.
Article 6. Delegation of Processing and Overseas Transfer
① Onleave delegates processing as follows, and personal information is transferred abroad because the providers' servers are located overseas. Transfers to Supabase and Vercel are based on Article 28-8(1)3 of PIPA ('delegation/storage of processing necessary for the conclusion and performance of a contract with the data subject'); the transfer to Google LLC (analytics cookie) is based on Article 28-8(1)1 ('separate consent'). The following is disclosed under Article 28-8(2).
| Item | Supabase, Inc. | Vercel, Inc. | Google LLC (with consent) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delegated work (purpose) | Database, authentication, and file-storage infrastructure | Web hosting | Visit-statistics analysis (Google Analytics) |
| Items transferred | All items in Article 2 | Connection data transmitted when accessing the Service | Online identifiers, service-usage records |
| Destination country | USA | USA | USA |
| Timing and method | Network transmission during use of the Service | Network transmission upon access | Network transmission during use, after consent |
| Recipient contact | privacy@supabase.io | privacy@vercel.com | privacy.google.com (contact form) |
| Retention | Until account deletion or end of the delegation contract | Until end of the delegation contract | Until consent withdrawal, up to 14 months from collection |
- Under Article 26 of PIPA, delegation contracts stipulate the prohibition of processing beyond the delegated purpose, technical and managerial safeguards, restrictions on sub-delegation, supervision of the delegatee, and liability, and Onleave supervises the delegatees' safe processing.
- Changes to the delegated work or delegatees will be disclosed through this Privacy Policy without delay.
- You may refuse the overseas transfers. The transfer to Google LLC (analytics cookie) can be refused by choosing 'Decline' in the cookie consent banner, with no limitation on your use of the Service. Transfers to Supabase and Vercel are essential to providing the Service, so refusal is exercised by deleting your account (profile menu) or requesting deletion via the contact in Article 10; member features will then be unavailable.
Article 7. Measures to Ensure Safety of Personal Information
Onleave takes the following measures to ensure the safety of personal information.
- Managerial: access to personal information is limited to the minimum necessary personnel, and processing status is reviewed regularly.
- Technical: encryption in transit (HTTPS), authentication-based database access controls with scoped permissions, management of system access rights, and application of security updates.
- Physical: Onleave operates no server facilities of its own; personal information is stored in cloud facilities with physical access controls operated by the delegatees (Supabase, Vercel).
Article 9. Rights and Obligations of Data Subjects and Legal Representatives
- You may at any time request access to, correction of, deletion of, or suspension of processing of your personal information, or withdraw consent ('exercise of rights').
- You can directly view and edit your information or delete your account in the in-service 'Profile' menu, or exercise rights via the contact in Article 10. Onleave responds within 10 days of receiving a request.
- Rights may be exercised through a legal representative or an authorized agent; a power of attorney in the form of Annex 11 of the Notification on Personal Information Processing Methods must be submitted. Onleave verifies that the requester is the data subject or a legitimate agent.
- Requests for access or suspension may be restricted under Articles 35(4) and 37(2) of PIPA; deletion cannot be requested where the information is designated for collection by other statutes.
- Onleave does not make automated decisions that materially affect data subjects' rights or obligations (Article 37-2 of PIPA).
