Disclosing your own or others’ personal information

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

Do not post personal information such as email addresses, mobile phone numbers, bank account numbers, or home addresses as text or attachments in posts, comments, etc. that anyone can see. Malicious users may steal this information and use it for various cybercrimes, and you may suffer damage, including being held civilly or criminally liable if an incident occurs.

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

 

Collecting others’ personal information

When a user collects others’ personal information on POSTYPE or other online platforms using comments, messages, etc., that user is considered a “personal information controller” under the Personal Information Protection Act. This applies even if they have obtained the data subject’s consent.

Therefore, if a serious infringement such as a personal information leak or unauthorized use is expected, the relevant information may be deleted without prior notice and your use of the service may be restricted in accordance with the Terms of Use.

If you handle others’ personal information on POSTYPE for reasons such as mail-order sales, surveys, or commission requests, please carefully review the applicable laws and regulations to prevent any unexpected issues. In particular, collecting resident registration numbers is, in principle, prohibited, except in cases permitted by certain laws.

In addition, below are the minimum measures you should take when you unavoidably need to obtain someone’s consent and collect their personal information. For details, please make sure to refer to the Personal Information Protection Act and other relevant laws and regulations.

  • Never collect sensitive information such as resident registration numbers or ID cards, and collect only the information you truly need.
  • Clearly state in advance the items you will collect, the purpose of collection, and the retention/usage period.
  • When collecting information via comments, explicitly obtain consent and use messages or other non-public methods instead of public comments.
  • Immediately delete the relevant information (comments, messages, files, etc.) once the notified retention period has passed and all collection purposes have been fulfilled.
