    Last Updated: April 20, 2026

    Effective Date: April 20, 2026

    OurBusan.life is operated by 레거시 랩스 (Legacy Labs) ("we", "our", or "us"). We run a platform that helps users discover events, resources, and businesses in Busan. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

    Information We Collect

    Account Information

    • Email address
    • Username
    • Password (encrypted via our authentication provider — we never see plain-text passwords)

    Optional Profile Information

    • Nationality, country, currently living in
    • Preferred language
    • Neighborhood
    • Birthday (used only for the community birthday calendar; can be hidden)

    User Activity

    • Event, business, and resource submissions
    • Reviews, ratings, and review-helpful votes
    • Saved events, perks, and resources
    • Referral activity

    Newsletter Data

    • Email subscription status and subscriber type
    • Aggregated open and click engagement (recipient identifiers are stored as 16-character one-way hashes, not raw emails)

    How We Use Your Information

    We use your information to:

    • Provide and improve platform functionality
    • Manage user accounts and authentication
    • Review and publish submissions
    • Send newsletters and updates you've opted into
    • Promote relevant events, resources, and offers
    • Detect abuse and protect the community

    Storage Security

    User-uploaded images (business hero photos, business logos, event banners, and review receipts) are stored in ownership-scoped folders on our cloud storage. The first segment of every upload path is your unique account identifier, and our row-level security policies permit write access only to files under your own folder.

    • business-images/{your-id}/businesses/... — your business photos
    • event-images/{your-id}/events/... — your event banners
    • receipt-images/{your-id}/receipts/... — review receipts (private; readable only by you and verified moderators)

    This means another user cannot overwrite, replace, or delete your files. Public business and event photos remain readable by anyone (so they can appear on listings), but receipt images uploaded for verified reviews are private and used only for moderation.

    Newsletter and Communications

    By creating an account or subscribing, you may receive email communications from us. You can unsubscribe at any time by:

    • Clicking the unsubscribe link in any email
    • Visiting /unsubscribe from your account
    • Updating your preferences in Account Settings

    Sharing of Information

    We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information:

    • With service providers (authentication, hosting, email delivery, analytics)
    • When required by law

    Public content such as reviews, public profile fields, and submissions may be visible to other users.

    Data Storage and Security

    We use industry-standard cloud infrastructure with row-level security, encrypted connections, and ownership-scoped storage paths (see Storage Security above). We take reasonable steps to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

    Your Rights

    You may:

    • Request access to your data
    • Request deletion of your account
    • Unsubscribe from communications
    • Correct or update profile information at any time

    Third-Party Services

    We rely on the following third-party services:

    • Google (authentication and Maps display)
    • Resend (transactional and newsletter email delivery)
    • Supabase (cloud database, authentication, and storage)

    These services have their own privacy policies that govern their handling of your data.

    Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy over time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
