Last updated: February 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Pink Spot ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Email address, display name, and profile photo when you register.
• Location Data: Your precise location (GPS) is collected and stored in our database (Firestore), and shared with other users to enable location-based matching and chat features (such as showing you to nearby users).
• Profile Data: Information you voluntarily provide such as age, interests, and bio.
• Usage Data: App interaction data collected via Firebase Analytics to improve the service.
• Device Information: Device type, OS version, and push notification token for sending notifications.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Pink Spot service
• To match you with nearby users based on location
• To enable chat features (Spot Chat and Direct Messages)
• To send push notifications (with your permission)
• To improve and personalize the app experience
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

• Firebase (Google): For authentication, database, and analytics services.
• Legal authorities: When required by applicable law or legal process.

5. Location Data

Location access is required for the core features of Pink Spot. We collect your precise location (GPS) and store it in our database (Firestore). Your location is shared with other users to show you nearby users and chat rooms and to enable location-based matching. You can revoke location permissions at any time in your device settings, but this will disable location-based features.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at contact@leekyusung.kr.

7. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including Firebase Security Rules and encrypted data transmission (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Children's Privacy

Pink Spot is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we discover that a minor has created an account, we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@leekyusung.kr.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via in-app notification or email. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Appendix. Website Cookies and Visit Analytics

Unlike the other sections, which describe the app, this section applies only to the website (the domain serving this page).

• What we collect — pages visited, referral information (UTM parameters), approximate location (country and city level), device and browser type, screen size, and whether a store link was clicked. The identifier stored in cookies is a browser-level online identifier and may qualify as personal information; however, we do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other directly identifying information, and we do not use this identifier to single out any individual.
• Why we collect it — solely to understand how visitors reach this site so that we can improve it. It is never used for advertising or profiling.
• Tool and cookies — Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC), which stores cookies (_ga, _ga_*) in your browser to distinguish browsers. These cookies last for up to 2 years, and you can delete them at any time using your browser's cookie controls.
• Retention — Google Analytics event data is retained for up to 14 months and then deleted automatically. Your consent choice and referral values are stored only in your own browser and are never sent to our servers.
• Outsourced processing and international transfer — the statistics above are processed by a processor acting within the scope of our instructions, which constitutes an overseas transfer for outsourced processing; the following is disclosed under Article 28-8 of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act. Recipient: Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA, USA; contact via the Google Privacy Policy). Country of transfer: the United States. Timing and method of transfer: transmitted over the network via cookies from time to time as you use the website. Items transferred: as listed under "What we collect" above. Recipient's purpose of use: generating and analyzing visit statistics for this website, within the scope of our instructions. Recipient's retention period: as stated under "Retention" above. You may refuse this transfer as described under "How to consent, refuse, or withdraw" below, with no disadvantage whatsoever in using the website. We do not provide the data to any other third party.
• How to consent, refuse, or withdraw — choose Decline on the banner shown on your first visit and Google Analytics is never loaded; the site remains fully usable. Even after accepting, you can withdraw your consent at any time via Cookie settings; when you withdraw (decline), the related cookies are deleted. As an additional option, you can also remove the cookies by clearing cookies and site data in your browser.

The referral tags (UTM) appended to store buttons do not identify you, are held only for the current browser session, and work regardless of your cookie choice.
