Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026 · Applies to seoulweb.com
Who we are
SeoulWeb ("we", "the site") is an independent travel information website covering Seoul, South Korea. You can reach us at hello@seoulweb.com for any privacy question.
What we collect
SeoulWeb is a read-only information site. We do not operate accounts, newsletters, comment systems or checkout flows, and we do not ask you for personal data. Specifically:
- No registration. You never create an account, so we hold no name, email or password for you.
- No contact forms. The on-page chat assistant runs entirely inside your browser. Your questions are processed on your own device and are never transmitted to us or stored anywhere.
Advertising
The site displays advertising served by third-party ad networks. These networks load their own scripts in your browser and may set cookies, collect your IP address and device information, and use similar technologies to serve and measure ads. That processing happens under the ad networks' own privacy policies, which we do not control. We do not receive or store any of this data ourselves — at most we see anonymised revenue reports.
If you prefer not to see personalised advertising, you can block third-party cookies in your browser settings or use a content blocker; the site's content works without the ads.
Cookies and local storage
SeoulWeb itself does not set first-party tracking cookies. Third-party advertisers may set their own cookies as described above. Your browser may also keep standard technical records (cache, DNS) as part of normal browsing; these are not accessible to us.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Some links on this site are affiliate links to third-party providers — including Klook, Agoda, GetYourGuide, Airalo, Trip.com, Aviasales, Radical Storage, SafetyWing and NordVPN. When you click one, you leave SeoulWeb and the provider's own privacy policy applies. These providers may use cookies to attribute the referral; that processing is their responsibility as independent controllers, and we encourage you to read their policies before purchasing.
We also load a GetYourGuide widget script on our content pages, which measures how visitors interact with GetYourGuide links and widgets (referral analytics), an Impact.com tracking script that attributes affiliate link clicks to our partner account, and a Stay22 script that converts selected travel-provider links into tracked affiliate links. These scripts run under those companies' own privacy policies and do not give us access to any of your personal data.
We do not see what you do on those third-party sites. At most, an affiliate network may report back to us an anonymised confirmation that a booking was made, without your name or contact details.
Server logs
Our hosting provider may keep standard web-server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and operational purposes. We do not combine these logs with any other data or use them to identify you.
Your rights
Because we collect no personal data through the site, there is usually nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you believe we hold any data about you, email hello@seoulweb.com and we will confirm and act on your request within 30 days. If you are in the UK or EEA, you also have the right to complain to your data-protection authority (in the UK, the ICO at ico.org.uk).
Children
The site is a general-audience travel guide and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone of any age.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data — for example by adding analytics — we will update this page and change the "last updated" date above before the change takes effect.
