1. Purposes of Processing
We process personal information to receive and respond to inquiries, conduct a preliminary review for consultation or potential engagement, perform limited conflict checking, and maintain the security and integrity of the website.
2. Categories of Data and Retention
| Category | Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inquiry | Name, email, type of matter, message, and optional organization, position and country | Reviewing and responding to the inquiry | One year from the final response |
| Technical / security data | IP address, access time, browser/device information and security verification data | Operation, security and abuse prevention | According to hosting/security settings and provider policies |
We do not intentionally request national identification numbers, medical information, passwords, bank credentials or other unnecessary sensitive data through the website inquiry form.
3. Third-Party Disclosure
We do not ordinarily disclose personal information to independent third parties unless you separately agree, the disclosure is necessary and legally permitted, or disclosure is required by applicable law.
4. Service Providers / Processors
| Provider | Service |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Website hosting/delivery, security, serverless processing and anti-abuse functions |
| Plus Five Five, Inc. (Resend) | Transactional email delivery for website inquiries |
5. Cross-Border Processing
The website inquiry function uses global cloud and email delivery providers. When you submit an inquiry, data may be processed outside Korea as described below. The inquiry form requests separate consent for this processing.
| Recipient | Location | Data | Timing / method | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plus Five Five, Inc. (Resend) support@resend.com | United States | Name, email, matter type, message and optional inquiry fields | On submission via encrypted API communication | Email delivery and delivery logging | As needed to provide the service; Resend currently states 30-day retention for email/log data on Free, Pro and Scale plans |
| Cloudflare, Inc. dpo@cloudflare.com | United States, EEA and other service locations | Connection data and inquiry request data | During website access and form submission | Hosting, security, serverless processing and anti-abuse | According to service configuration and provider policies |
You may refuse cross-border processing, but because the web inquiry form relies on these services, the form cannot currently be submitted without it.
