Privacy Policy

• Google sign-in (optional): your Google account ID, email address, name and profile picture as shared by Google. Used to identify your account and keep your saved places.
• Saved places: the restaurants you save and when. Used to show your list on any device you sign in on.
• Contact form: your message, your email address if you choose to give it, and the language you were using. Used to read and reply to your message.
• Automatically: when you send a message, a one-way scrambled form of your IP address (we never store the original). Used only to stop repeated spam. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs.
• Visit statistics: which pages are viewed, the country, device type and the site you came from, counted with Vercel Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and doesn’t identify you; visitors are counted with a value that changes every day. Used only to see how the guide is used.

“Show my location” uses your device’s location only inside your browser to move the map. It is never sent to us or stored.

• Account and saved places: until you delete your account.
• Messages: one year after we reply.
• Scrambled IP addresses: up to 30 days.

If a law requires us to keep something longer, we keep it only for that period.

We do not sell or give your personal information to anyone, except when the law requires it.

We use the following companies to run the service. Your information may be stored or processed outside your country.

• Supabase Inc. (USA; data stored on servers in Seoul, Korea): sign-in and database for accounts, saved places and messages. Sent over the network when you use these features; kept for the periods in section 2.
• Vercel Inc. (USA): website hosting, server logs and visit statistics. Sent when you visit; kept under Vercel’s retention policy.
• Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc., USA): emails your message to us. Sent when you submit the contact form; kept under Resend’s retention policy.

Google sign-in is provided by Google LLC under Google’s privacy policy. Maps are provided by NAVER Cloud; what NAVER collects while loading the map follows NAVER’s privacy policy. If you don’t want your information transferred abroad, you can use the guide without signing in or sending messages.

You can delete your account and all saved places at any time on the Account page. For anything else, such as seeing, correcting or deleting your information, email us and we will act without delay.

You can also remove Menu Korea’s access in your Google Account under Security > Third-party connections.

Menu Korea is not meant for children under 14. Please don’t sign in if you are under 14.

We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser keeps your language choice (a cookie), your sign-in session, your saved places and your filter choices on your device. Signing out removes your session and saved list from the device.

• All connections are encrypted (HTTPS).
• Each account can only read and change its own saved places; messages can only be read by the operator.
• IP addresses are stored only in a scrambled form that can’t be reversed.

Privacy officer: the operator of Menu Korea. Email: support@menukorea.com or our contact form.

You can also contact Korea’s Personal Information Infringement Report Center (privacy.kisa.or.kr, +82-2-118 from abroad) or the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (www.kopico.go.kr).
