Privacy Policy

Published and effective November 6, 2026

GNC ("we") runs Doors to Worlds and follows Korea's Personal Information Protection Act. Doors to Worlds has no accounts and never asks for your name. This is a translation; if it differs from the Korean version, the Korean version applies.

1. What we handle, why, and for how long

Everything collected through cookies or browser storage is listed below. We do not take sensitive data or national ID numbers.

• When you enter a space: the space, the type of button used, screen language, time and a device number (a random number made on your device), plus search words up to 40 characters if you came through search. We use this for rankings and to tell space operators how many people visited. Kept while the site is running.
• When you connect a space: space address and name, a fingerprint of the connection key, and the news you post with its time. We use this to verify the owner and show the connection status and news. News is public. Kept until you ask us to disconnect.
• When you write a review: nickname, rating, text, time written or edited, screen language and a fingerprint of your device key. We use this to show reviews and let only you edit yours. Nickname, rating, text and time are public. Kept until you delete it or we remove it under our rules.
• When you report a review: a fingerprint of your device key and the time, to stop repeat reports from one device. Deleted when the author deletes that review; otherwise kept while the site is running.
• When you list a space: space name, link, intro or message, reply email if given, screen language and time. Used only to review the listing and contact you. Kept as long as needed for that, and deleted right away if you ask.
• When you view a space with our link code: space number, device number, time of last signal and total time spent. Sent once a minute while the page is in view, to count time spent and people online. Kept while the site is running.
• Visitor count: we store only a total for each date. Nothing that tells visitors apart is stored, and your browser keeps just today's date so you are not counted twice that day.
• IP address when you send something or are counted: used only to limit repeated reviews, reports, listings and visitor counts in a short time. It stops applying after 10 minutes and is deleted on the next request after that. Visit records do not include IP addresses.

Legal basis (Personal Information Protection Act, Art. 15(1)): listing forms are handled with your consent (item 1). The rest is handled without consent: reviews and reports to provide the service you asked for (item 4), and entry records, link-code signals and IP addresses for our legitimate interest in rankings and abuse prevention (item 6).

2. Automatic collection and how to refuse

A cookie is a small piece of data a site sends to your browser to store on your device. If you arrive straight from an outside link, one cookie (cwd, 1 year) groups visits from the same device. Browser storage, a similar technology, holds your device number, review key, nickname, past picks, hidden categories and the date you were last counted. Hidden categories and past picks are never sent to us. We do not use these values to find your name or contact details, do not use them for ads, and do not let other companies collect behavioral data here.

To refuse: in Chrome or Edge, use an Incognito or InPrivate window, or block and clear cookies and site data in settings. In Safari, turn on Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Block All Cookies. You can still view spaces, but clearing the review key means you can no longer edit your reviews.

3. Third parties, processors and transfer abroad

We do not give personal data to third parties. Space operators see totals only. Entering a space takes you to its operator's site, where that operator's policy applies.

We entrust site delivery and record storage to the company below, which includes a transfer abroad.

• Recipient: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA · [email protected]
• Work and purpose: delivering the site, storing records
• Basis: Art. 28-8(1)(3)(a) of the Act (processing and storage needed to provide the service, disclosed in this policy)
• Items: everything in section 1
• Countries: the USA and other countries with Cloudflare data centers, including Asia-Pacific (list). The record store runs in the Asia-Pacific region.
• When and how: over an encrypted network each time you open a page or send something
• Retention: as in section 1, and deleted when the arrangement ends
• How to refuse, and the effect: stop using the site and nothing is transferred; you then cannot use the site.

Your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts and jsDelivr, and those companies may receive connection data.

4. Children under 14

We do not ask for or check age, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 14. A legal guardian may ask us to find and delete a child's data, and we will do so right away.

5. Your rights

You or your legal guardian can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or to stop its processing. You can edit or delete reviews yourself from the device you wrote them on. For anything else, email us and we will handle it right away. Device numbers do not identify anyone, so to delete visit records please include the number stored in your browser (cw-dev).

6. Deletion and safeguards

When the retention period ends or the purpose is met, we delete records without delay so they cannot be restored. We keep no paper records, and no law requires us to keep any of these items separately.

Connections are encrypted, only a fingerprint of the review key is stored, and storage access is limited to the operator's account.
