Privacy policy
Effective date: September 27, 2026
ReactionKorea processes personal data as described below to manage accounts, provide community and game services, and operate the site reliably.
1. Information and purposes
- Registration and account management: We process usernames, nicknames, email addresses, and password hashes for identification, sign-in, email verification, and password resets.
- Optional information: Uploaded profile pictures are used to display user profiles.
- Service use: Posts, comments, attached images, private messages, subscriptions, and voting records support their respective features. Guest names and password hashes are used to verify, edit, and delete guest submissions.
- Access records: IP addresses, access times, browser information, requested paths, and referral information are used for visitor statistics, prevention of duplicate views and votes, and detection of abuse.
Information is collected from user input and service use, including registration and posting. Public posts, comments, and author names may be visible to other visitors. Do not post other people's personal information.
2. Retention and deletion
Account information is generally retained until account deletion is processed. Posts, comments, and private messages are managed separately and may not all be deleted automatically. Remove submissions you want deleted before closing your account, or contact the operator.
Access and usage records are retained as needed for operation, statistics, and abuse detection. Personal data is deleted when its purpose is fulfilled or retention is no longer needed, except where law or an ongoing dispute requires retention. Electronic files are deleted using methods that make recovery difficult.
3. Cookies and browser storage
To select the default site language, we look up the connection country from the IP address on our server without sending that IP to an external country lookup service. Your manual language choice is stored in a cookie for one year and takes priority over the IP country. Clearing cookies or using another browser resets this preference.
IP country data: IP Geolocation by DB-IP (CC BY 4.0)
Cookies support sign-in sessions and protection against forged requests. Browser storage may record read posts and display preferences. You can delete or restrict cookies and site data in your browser, which may affect sign-in or some features.
4. Analytics, advertising, and external services
We use Google Analytics for visitor statistics and Google AdSense for advertising. External providers, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to process usage information, browser and device information, and online identifiers. Advertising cookies may serve ads based on visits to this or other sites.

5. Your rights
You may request access to, correction or deletion of, or suspension of processing of your personal data. Use the profile and account deletion features or contact the operator. Identity verification may be required. If a legal restriction applies, we will explain the reason.
