Privacy Protection Policy

Disclosing your own or another person’s personal information

POSTYPE makes every effort to protect users’ personal information that is collected through lawful procedures. However, there are occasional cases where users directly disclose their own or others’ personal information.

You must not post personal information such as email addresses, mobile phone numbers, bank account numbers, or home addresses as text or file attachments in posts, comments, or other places visible to anyone. Malicious users may steal and misuse this information for various types of cybercrime, and you may suffer damage such as being held civilly and criminally liable if an incident occurs.

If someone has posted your identity without permission, please report it through the Rights Infringement Report Center.

 

Collecting another person’s personal information

When a user collects another person’s personal information on POSTYPE or another online platform using comments, messages, etc., that user falls under the category of a “personal information controller” under the Personal Information Protection Act. This applies even if you have obtained the person’s consent.

Therefore, if a serious infringement such as personal information leakage or unauthorized use is expected, restrictions on use of the service may be imposed in accordance with the Terms of Use, including deletion of the relevant information without prior notice.

If you process others’ personal information on POSTYPE for reasons such as online sales, surveys, or receiving commission requests, please carefully review the relevant laws and regulations to avoid any potential issues. In particular, collection of resident registration numbers is, in principle, prohibited except in cases permitted by certain laws.

Below are the minimum measures you should take if you unavoidably need to obtain consent and collect someone’s personal information. For details, please make sure to refer to the Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws.

  • Do not collect sensitive information such as resident registration numbers or ID cards, and collect only the information that is strictly necessary
  • Clearly state in advance what items you are collecting, for what purpose, and how long they will be used
  • When collecting information through comments, explicitly obtain consent and use messages or other non-public comments instead of public comments
  • Immediately delete the relevant information (comments, messages, files, etc.) once the stated retention period has expired and all purposes of collection have been fulfilled
