The Company shall not be held responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites, applications, or advertisements referenced or linked within the application.

The Company undertakes to keep Confidential Information strictly private and confidential, to treat it as a duty of confidentiality, to take necessary measures and exercise due diligence to ensure and maintain confidentiality, and to prevent the entirety or any part of Confidential Information from entering the public domain, being used without authorization, or being disclosed to a third party. However, because the Buyer provides their information through their own device, the Company shall not be held responsible for any damage or loss of confidential information resulting from attacks on the system or access by unauthorized persons if the Buyer fails to take necessary measures against viruses and other malicious applications, despite the Company taking necessary information security measures.

The Company may disclose and/or use the Buyer’s Confidential Information to third parties: (a) when required by applicable laws or regulations, a court ruling, or an administrative order; (b) with the Buyer’s consent; (c) in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and/or (d) in accordance with the terms separately set forth in the “User Agreement” accessible via the Company’s website.

The Company obtains information about the Buyer and the use of the services provided through a technical communication file (Cookie) to provide the Buyer with information regarding the use of the services. The technical communication file may be used to obtain statistical information.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of information disclosed by the Buyer in public areas or shared in comments or messages by third parties, or from the Buyer sharing their account name, password, or other information used to create their account with third parties.

The Company may review and use information about how the Buyer uses the Company’s products and services to make recommendations to the Buyer.

The Company may review the personal information and data of a Buyer who violates the User Agreement or Privacy Policy, or who is the subject of a complaint by other Buyers.

The Company may update, change, or discontinue the provisions of this Privacy Policy at any time. In such cases, the Buyer will be notified through the services/products or by other means, such as email. Each updated, changed, or discontinued provision shall be effective for the Buyer on the date of publication.
