For professional fortune services, the Company collects personal information and entrusts its processing to external specialized providers.

Pursuant to Article 26 of the Personal Information Protection Act, the Company specifies—through outsourcing agreements and the like—matters such as the prohibition of processing personal information beyond the purpose of the entrusted task, technical and administrative protective measures, restrictions on re-entrustment, compensation for damages in case of incidents, the entrustment period, confidentiality of personal information, and the prohibition of provision to third parties, and supervises whether the trustee processes personal information safely.

In addition, if the content of the entrusted task or the trustee changes, the Company will disclose this through this Privacy Policy without delay.

The data subject may exercise the following rights relating to the protection of personal information against the Company at any time. Rights may be exercised in writing, by phone, by email, by fax, and the like, and the Company will take action without delay.

1. Request to access personal information
2. Request to correct errors, etc.
3. Request for deletion
4. Request to suspend processing

Where the data subject requests correction or deletion regarding errors in personal information, the Company will not use or provide the relevant personal information until the correction or deletion is completed.

Rights may be exercised through an agent such as the data subject’s statutory representative or a duly authorized person. In this case, a power of attorney in the form of Attached Form No. 11 of the Enforcement Rules of the Personal Information Protection Act must be submitted.

The data subject must not infringe, in violation of the Personal Information Protection Act and other relevant laws, the personal information or privacy of themselves or others that the Company is processing.

In principle, the data subject’s personal information is destroyed without delay once the purpose of its collection and use is achieved. The Company’s destruction procedures and methods are as follows.

1) Destruction procedure

Information entered by the data subject to use the Service is, after the purpose is achieved, immediately destroyed in the case of free services; in the case of paid services, it is moved to a separate database (a separate filing cabinet in the case of paper) and stored for a certain period according to the replay period and other information-protection grounds under relevant laws, then destroyed. Such personal information is not used for any purpose other than retention, except as required by law.

2) Destruction method

• Personal information printed on paper is destroyed by shredding or incineration.
• Personal information stored in electronic file form is deleted using technical methods that prevent the records from being reproduced.

1) Password encryption

Users’ personal information is protected by passwords.

2) Management of personal ID and password

The password of a user’s account can be known only by the user, and the password must not be disclosed to anyone. It is also advisable to close the web browser after finishing your work. In particular, when sharing a computer with others or using it in a public place, such steps are all the more necessary to prevent personal information from being disclosed to others.

The Company is not responsible for problems arising from the leakage of personal information such as mobile numbers and passwords due to a user’s own carelessness, or for matters caused by the inherent risks of the internet.

For any inquiries, complaints, advice, or other matters relating to personal information protection arising while using Taoist Fortune, please contact the Personal Information Protection Officer below.
