Privacy policy

K-pop GIF Archive processes information needed to run this service. Contact and removal requests are accepted without signing in.

Operator and contact

The operator is K-pop GIF Archive. Use our contact form for access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, clip removal or other requests. Identity verification may be required.

Information and purposes

  • Accounts: Kakao identifiers, nickname, profile photo and site user ID identify accounts and provide profiles. Google sign-in uses a Google account identifier and verified email to identify your site account. Your Google name and photo are not automatically used as your public nickname and profile photo. Email accounts use an email address for sign-in and verification. Authentication information is managed by the Cloudflare-based site authentication system.
  • Community activity: Posts, media, comments, likes, reports, bookmarks, attendance, levels, points and redemption records support these features and moderation. Author names and profile photos may appear publicly according to the post's visibility setting.
  • Requests: Your email, request type, message, optional clip URL and a one-way hash of the connection address are used for replies and repeated-submission prevention. Member inquiries also include the account ID.
  • Analytics and abuse prevention: Visitor cookies, hashed identifiers, visit date, page, referring domain and device type support visitor and returning-visitor analytics. Current visitor counts use a presence signal sent at most once per minute while a public page is visible. These signals contain no name, email or original IP address. A one-way hash of signed-in connection addresses helps detect multiple-account abuse.

Retention

  • Visitor analytics: up to 365 days. Visitor cookie: up to one year.
  • Presence cookie: one hour. D1 presence signals are removed during cleanup after 24 hours without a signal.
  • Account and connection hashes for abuse checks: 90 days from the latest record.
  • Guest requests: one year after resolution, then removed during cleanup.
  • Account and activity records: while the service is used. Deletion requests are reviewed separately from any records that must be retained by law.

Service providers

Kakao and Google provide social sign-in. Site authentication runs on Cloudflare; Cloudflare D1 stores account, post and inquiry data, and R2 stores media files. Cloudflare also delivers the website.

Google AdSense advertising and privacy

This site displays Google AdSense ads. When an ad is requested, Google and advertising partners may process the page URL, IP address, browser and device information, and use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency limits, measurement, fraud prevention and personalization according to settings and consent.

Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on settings and applicable consent choices. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies for frequency limits and aggregate reporting. Where a consent message is displayed, use it to review and manage your choices. Google's official policies explain its processing and retention practices.

Manage personalization in Google Ad Settings. You can also restrict or delete cookies in your browser. Cookie controls and ad personalization are separate settings; changing them does not remove all ads.

Cookies and choice

A visitor cookie lasting one year supports analytics. You can block or remove cookies in your browser; a later visit may then count as a new visitor.

Protection

Access to original media and inquiry records is controlled. Connection and visitor identifiers are hashed. Only moderators can access guest inquiry records.

Changes and their effective dates will be announced on this page.
