Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ALISIOX (“ALISIOX,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit alisiox.com, contact us, subscribe to a service, or use features we make available. ALISIOX publishes information about Korean music, screen culture, travel, food, events, beauty, and everyday culture for an international audience.

Information you provide

We may receive information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, message, account details, newsletter preferences, survey responses, comments, or transaction-related contact details. Do not send passport numbers, payment-card numbers, health information, or other sensitive documents through a general contact form.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our servers and service providers may receive technical information such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time and date, language, cookie identifiers, consent choices, and diagnostic logs. We use this information to operate the site, secure it, understand performance, prevent abuse, and improve content.

Cookies and similar technologies

ALISIOX and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies. Some are necessary for security, account sessions, language preferences, shopping functions, and consent storage. Others may support audience measurement, advertising, or content performance. See our Cookie Policy for categories and controls.

Google advertising

We plan to use Google AdSense to display advertising on eligible pages. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve, limit, measure, and personalize ads, depending on your region, settings, and consent choices. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies based on your previous visits to this site or other sites.

You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google’s partner-sites information page. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ads Settings. Before activating personalized advertising where required, we will use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework.

Analytics and performance

We may use analytics and performance services to understand aggregated audience behavior, popular content, site errors, and page speed. When required by law or our consent settings, optional analytics technologies are not activated until you make a choice. We do not promise that analytics data can identify no one; technical identifiers may be personal data under some laws.

Affiliate links, tickets, and commerce

Some articles may link to ticket, tourism, or shopping partners. Clicking an affiliate link can send the partner the referring page and technical information needed to attribute a visit or purchase. A partner’s collection and payment practices are governed by its own privacy policy. ALISIOX does not receive your full payment-card number when a separate partner completes the transaction.

How we use information

• Provide, maintain, localize, and secure the site.
• Respond to messages and support requests.
• Remember language, consent, and session choices.
• Measure content and advertising performance.
• Detect spam, fraud, security incidents, and policy violations.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
• Send communications you requested, with an unsubscribe option where applicable.

When information is shared

We may share information with hosting, security, analytics, email, translation, consent, advertising, payment, and professional-service providers that process it for us or provide their own disclosed service. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, to investigate abuse, or as part of a business restructuring. We do not sell a contact list for unrelated direct marketing.

International processing

ALISIOX serves readers in multiple countries. Information may be processed in South Korea, the United States, the European Economic Area, or another country where a provider operates. Privacy protections can differ. Where required, we use contractual or other lawful transfer safeguards.

Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including security, dispute, accounting, and legal requirements. Retention periods vary by data type. We may retain aggregated or de-identified statistics that no longer reasonably identify a person.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. These rights can be limited by law and may require identity verification. You can also adjust browser cookies, use our consent controls when available, unsubscribe from marketing email, and manage Google advertising preferences.

To make a privacy request, email admin@alisiox.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject. Describe the request and the country or region whose law you believe applies. Do not send an identity document unless we specifically request a secure verification method.

Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from a child under the applicable age of digital consent. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information may contact us.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, but no online service is completely secure. Use a unique password for any future ALISIOX account and contact us if you suspect unauthorized activity.

External and embedded content

Articles may link to or embed content from social, video, map, ticket, tourism, or commerce services. Those services may collect information when you load or interact with their content. Review their privacy controls before use.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. We will change the date above and provide additional notice when appropriate. Material changes apply prospectively unless law requires otherwise.
