Privacy Policy
Korea For Real respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website or use Korea For Real services, including Travel Talk, and how that information may be used.
Information We May Collect
Korea For Real does not ask visitors to provide personal information just to read the website.
However, certain information may be collected automatically when you visit the site, such as browser type, device type, general location, IP address, and pages visited. This information may be used to understand how visitors use the website, improve the content, maintain security, and support website services.
If you use Travel Talk, the words or messages you type or speak are processed only as needed to provide translation and conversation assistance.
Travel Talk
Korea For Real Travel Talk is a travel communication tool designed to help visitors communicate with Korean speakers.
Travel Talk does not require an account, sign-in, or user profile.
When you use Travel Talk:
Text you enter may be processed to provide translation, meaning clarification, conversation context, and conversation summaries.
If you choose to use the microphone, your audio is sent securely for speech-to-text transcription.
Audio recordings are not permanently stored by Korea For Real.
Conversation messages, translations, and summaries are not permanently stored by Korea For Real.
Conversation context is maintained only as needed during the active session.
Users may choose to type instead of using the microphone.
Travel Talk uses third-party technology services, including OpenAI, to provide speech transcription, translation, and AI-assisted conversation features. Information sent through Travel Talk may therefore be processed by these service providers as necessary to provide the requested service.
To protect Travel Talk from automated abuse and excessive usage, Korea For Real may temporarily process limited technical security information, such as anonymous session identifiers, one-way hashed request-source identifiers, request counts, and timestamps.
Raw IP addresses are not stored by Travel Talk for this rate-limiting purpose. These security records are short-lived and are automatically removed after they are no longer needed.
Travel Talk does not use conversation content or audio to create user profiles.
