Information we collect

KoreaHype does not ask visitors to create an account to read our public content. Our hosting and analytics providers may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location, cookies and similar identifiers.

WordPress.com and Jetpack

KoreaHype is hosted on WordPress.com and may use WordPress.com or Jetpack services for hosting, security, performance, statistics and site functionality. These services may set cookies or process technical usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Advertising

KoreaHype may display advertising from Google AdSense, WordAds or other advertising partners. When advertising is enabled, these providers may use cookies, local storage, device identifiers or similar technologies to measure ad performance, prevent fraud and, where permitted and consented to, personalize advertising.

Google services

KoreaHype may use Google services such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Google may process information according to its own privacy policies and advertising technology requirements. Where required, visitors will be shown consent controls before personalized advertising technologies are used.

Cookies and consent

Cookies may be used for essential site functions, analytics, security and advertising. For visitors in regions where consent is legally required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, KoreaHype intends to use an appropriate consent-management solution for advertising technologies.

External links

KoreaHype links to third-party websites such as retailers, tourism organizations, chart providers and public information sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites.

Data retention and choices

Retention periods vary by service provider and purpose. Visitors may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings and, where available, through consent controls displayed on the site. Advertising choices may also be managed through the relevant advertising provider.

Community submissions

When you use KoreaHype Community forms, we may collect the nickname, country, vote, text, links and other information you choose to submit. Form responses are stored through WordPress.com/Jetpack so we can review submissions, prevent spam, understand community interests and decide whether a submission should be featured. Community submissions are reviewed before publication. Please do not submit private or sensitive information.
