Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Korea Compass (korea.spemer.com) collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Information I collect

I do not ask you to create an account or submit personal details to read this site. I collect only limited, largely anonymous usage data through the analytics and advertising services described below - such as pages viewed, approximate location (country or city), device and browser type, and referring links.

Cookies and analytics

I use Google Analytics and GoatCounter to understand how visitors use the site so I can improve it. Google Analytics may set cookies to measure usage; GoatCounter is a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool. This data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the site.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized ads at www.aboutads.info/choices. For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google’s policy.

Consent in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Google shows a consent message asking how your data may be used on this site. The privacy options in that message let you change or withdraw your answer at any time.

That message is Google’s, and so are the settings behind it: what it asks for, and what your answer applies to, are configured on Google’s side and can change. The wording you see in the message is the accurate description of its scope. If you would rather not be measured at all, block the analytics scripts described above in your browser settings or with a content blocker - nothing on the site depends on them.

Third-party services

The third parties that may process data through this site have their own privacy policies: Google Privacy Policy (Analytics and AdSense) and GoatCounter Privacy Policy. I do not control how these providers use data; please review their policies.

Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, opt out of personalized ads through the link above, and review the data practices of each third-party service. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete data held about you - exercise these through the relevant provider using the links above.

Data retention and children

I do not store personal data on my own servers. Any usage data is retained by the analytics and advertising providers according to their own policies. This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13; I do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes and contact

I may update this policy from time to time; the date above shows the latest revision. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, write to me at ghsspower [at] gmail [dot] com.
