If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us so that we may take appropriate measures to investigate and delete such information.
Your Choices
You can make certain choices about your privacy at Taekyung® Red Pepper Powder, Pepper, Gochugaru:
Accessing and Managing Your Personal Data. You may access, review, update, correct, and delete your account information by contacting us or managing your account settings. Please note requests to delete Personal Data may impact your use of our services.
Marketing Communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or changing your account settings. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as information about your account, purchases or ongoing business relations.
Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies and local storage. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser. You can also set most browsers to prevent acceptance of third-party cookies and local storage. If you opt out of interest-based advertising, you may still see advertising from us on other companies’ platforms, but the advertising will not be targeted to you using your interests. You will continue to see generic (non-targeted) display advertising from us. Please see the section “Technologies We Use” below for more information.
Do Not Track Requests. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Note there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” visit https://allaboutdnt.com.
Mobile Application Permissions. Mobile platforms have permission systems for specific types of device data and notifications, such as phone call, text message, location and push notifications. Mobile applications may ask for your permission to access information or provide notifications through these systems. Most mobile platforms let you revoke permissions or disable push notifications for specific apps in device settings.
Data Retention
We store the information we collect for no longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected, for the duration required by law and for maintaining business records. After this period, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.
Security
We are concerned with protecting your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. We employ reasonable safeguards designed to protect the security, integrity, and privacy of all Personal Data under our control. However, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that Personal Data will never be accessed, used, or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy.
International Data Transfers
We are based in the Republic of Korea and rely on your consent to transfer information to us that you provide from around the world. By providing Personal Data to us, you agree to the storage and processing of your Personal Data in Korea or locations around the world where our facilities or service providers are located. We take steps intended to ensure that Personal Data we collect under this Privacy Policy is processed according to the provisions of this Policy.
