Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

KoreaChannels.com ("we", "us", "the site") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information automatically when you visit the site:

Access logs: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps, collected by our hosting and content delivery infrastructure for security and troubleshooting purposes.
Cookies: Small text files stored in your browser to remember your language preference, theme, and session state.
Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics (e.g. via Vercel Analytics) used to understand which channels and articles are most useful to visitors.

We do not require account registration to browse the site. If you sign in with Google to like a channel, we store only the minimum profile information (name, email, avatar) needed to associate your likes with your account.

Google AdSense and Personalized Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites.
You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Privacy & Terms site.

Affiliate Links

Some articles on this site, particularly in our K-Beauty section, may contain affiliate links to third-party retailers (see our Affiliate Disclosure page for details). When you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer or its affiliate network may set its own cookies to track the referral and attribute any resulting purchase to us. We do not receive any personal or payment information from these transactions — only aggregate commission data.

Data Retention

Access logs and analytics data are retained only as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, and product improvement purposes, and are periodically purged. Account and like data tied to your Google sign-in are retained until you delete your account or request removal.
