Uncle Tools ("we") complies with the Personal Information Protection Act and related laws to protect the freedom and rights of data subjects, and processes personal information lawfully and manages it securely. Accordingly, under Article 30 of the Personal Information Protection Act and Article 31 of its Enforcement Decree, we establish and publish this privacy policy to inform data subjects of the procedures and standards for processing and protecting personal information, and to handle related complaints promptly and smoothly.
This policy applies to the web services Uncle Tools provides. We do not sell or rent personal information.
Key personal information processing
The following summarizes the important points of this policy. See each section for details.
1. Purpose, items, and retention of personal information processing
We process personal information only to the minimum extent needed to provide the service, under the Personal Information Protection Act. We do not use the personal information we process for purposes other than those below, and if the purpose of use changes we take required measures such as obtaining separate consent under Article 18 of the Personal Information Protection Act.
We do not run user accounts and we do not collect account details such as name, email address, or phone number.

1-2. Personal information processed with the data subject's consent
We process the following with the data subject's consent.

Items
Cookies, advertising identifiers, usage logs
Retention
Until you withdraw consent or the processor contract ends
Legal basis

Push token. We use the same device identifier (udid) when sending the notification.
Retention
Until notifications are withdrawn
Legal basis
Personal Information Protection Act Article 15(1)1 (consent)
We collect ad consent in Google consent management (CMP). If you refuse or withdraw it, we stop processing identifiers used for personalized ads. Ads may be less relevant or fewer ads may be shown.
2. Processing of personal information of children under 14
We do not operate services directed at children under 14, and we do not collect information to check age or obtain a legal representative's consent. Fortune and the lunisolar calendar accept a birth date, so a date you enter may belong to someone under 14. Even then we do not run a separate children's service and we use the date only to return the requested result.
3. Procedures and methods for destroying personal information
When the retention period ends or the purpose of processing is met, we destroy the personal information without delay. We do not create paper records of personal information. Records held on our servers or by processors are deleted in those systems in a way that makes recovery difficult. Lookup records left in the browser can be deleted by you.
4. Provision of personal information to third parties
We do not provide personal information to third parties.
If you follow an ad or affiliate link to another site, that site's privacy policy applies. That is not provision of personal information by us to a third party.
5. Criteria when additional use or provision occurs on an ongoing basis
We do not make additional use or provision under Articles 15(3) and 17(4) of the Personal Information Protection Act.
6. Entrustment of personal information processing
We entrust personal information processing as follows to handle the work smoothly.
When we enter an entrustment contract, under Article 26 of the Personal Information Protection Act we document a prohibition on processing outside the entrusted purpose, technical and administrative safeguards, limits on subcontracting, supervision of the processor, and liability for damages, and we supervise the processor. If a processor or its work changes, we publish it through this policy. Details of overseas entrustment are in "7. Collection and transfer of personal information abroad."
7. Collection and transfer of personal information abroad
We do not collect personal information directly abroad. The transfers below are all processing entrusted or stored, and fall under Article 28-8(1)3 of the Personal Information Protection Act (overseas entrustment or storage to perform a contract). Ads also fall under Article 28-8(1)1 (consent) when you consent in Google consent management, and web/app push also falls under that clause when you allow notifications. The time of transfer is when you use the website, consent to ads, or allow push, and the method is encrypted network transmission.
How to refuse a transfer and the effect: refusing ads in Google consent management can stop transfers of personalized-ad identifiers. Blocking cookies in the browser can reduce statistics and ad transfers to Google and Microsoft. Turning off push notifications can stop transfers to Firebase. The Vercel hosting transfer is needed to provide the site, so refusing it makes the site hard to use. Blocking cookies may limit statistics and ads.
8. Measures to ensure the security of personal information
We take the following measures under Article 29 of the Personal Information Protection Act, Article 30 of its Enforcement Decree, and the Standards for Safeguarding Personal Information.
Administrative: an internal management plan and least-privilege access
Technical: access-rights management, HTTPS in transit, and access control
Physical: we do not keep personal information in a separate physical store; we rely on cloud processors' safeguards
9. Possibility of disclosing sensitive information and how to choose not to disclose it
We do not process sensitive information. We also do not operate a feature for publishing sensitive information.
10. Processing of pseudonymized information
We do not process pseudonymized information.
11. Installation and operation of automatic collection devices and how to refuse them
We use cookies to provide the service, compile usage statistics, and show ads. A cookie is a small amount of information a web server sends to your browser, and the browser sends it back to the server when you visit the website.

13. Rights and duties of data subjects and legal representatives, and how to exercise them
A data subject may at any time ask us to access personal information, demand portability, correct or delete it, stop processing, or withdraw consent. We do not provide a separate access or correction screen on the website. You may exercise these rights through privacy.uncletools@jy.is or in writing with the same content, including through a legal representative or an authorized agent. In that case, a power of attorney in attached Form 11 of the Notification on Methods of Processing Personal Information is required.
Procedure: we receive the request → confirm that the requester is you or a lawful agent → take action → reply with the result. We act without delay from the day we receive the request. We may refuse deletion where a law requires us to keep the information, and access or a processing stop may be limited under Articles 35(4) and 37(2) of the Personal Information Protection Act.
14. Automated decisions
We do not make fully automated decisions that have a material effect on the rights or obligations of a data subject.
15. Privacy officer and complaint handling
We put the following department in charge of personal information processing overall, and of handling complaints and providing remedies. We do not publish the privacy officer's name; we give the responsible department and contact.
A data subject may use the contact above for all privacy inquiries, complaints, remedies, and access requests that arise while using the service. We reply and handle them without delay.
