    • What we share: Your name, shipping address, and phone number

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We believe in keeping your personal information only as long as necessary - and no longer.

  • 30-Day Automatic Deletion: Your personal information (name, address, phone number) is automatically and permanently deleted within 30 days after your order is shipped
  • Complete Removal: When we delete your data, it's removed from:
    • Our active systems and databases
    • All backup copies
    • System logs and temporary storage
  • Data Protection During Storage:
    • Daily automated backups ensure we can recover from any system failures
    • All backups are encrypted and stored securely
    • Regular testing ensures backups work when needed (4-hour recovery time)
    • Your personal information in backups is automatically purged after 30 days

Important Note About Tax Records:

Under Korean law, we must keep certain business records (like shipping addresses) for tax and audit purposes for up to 5 years. This is separate from our 30-day operational data deletion.

How we protect this compliance data:

  • Stored in isolated, highly secure systems separate from our regular operations
  • Accessible only to our Legal and Finance teams (not customer service or operations)
  • Every access is logged and audited
  • Used exclusively for legal compliance - never for marketing
  • Protected with additional encryption and security controls
