Introduction

ExploreJeju ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We use Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand how visitors use our site. Fathom collects:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referrer information (how you found us)
  • Device type and browser information
  • Country location (based on IP address)

Fathom does NOT collect personal information, does NOT use cookies, and does NOT track users across other websites. All data is processed with GDPR and CCPA compliance.

When you click on hotel affiliate links (Booking.com, Agoda, Hotels.com, Trip.com), we may receive commission information through your browser session. We do not collect or store personal information from affiliate clicks.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Improve our website and user experience
  • Understand which content is most valuable to visitors

  • Generate affiliate revenue for site maintenance

3.2 Affiliate Partners

3.3 Map Services

We embed maps from Kakao Maps and Naver Maps for location information. These services have their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies and Tracking

ExploreJeju does NOT use tracking cookies. Fathom Analytics does not set cookies. We may use essential cookies only for critical site functionality (none currently implemented).

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect information transmitted to our site. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data:

  • GDPR (Europe): Right to access, correct, delete, and port your data
  • CCPA (California): Right to know what personal information is collected and how it's used

Since we collect minimal data through Fathom Analytics (no personal identifiers), these rights primarily apply to information in our server logs.
