This Privacy Policy explains how K-Pop Atlas ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit kpopatlas.com (the "Site").

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referring website or link
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level, derived from IP address)

This information is collected through standard web analytics tools and is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve the user experience.

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email or submit a correction or partnership form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide. This may include your name, business email, company, project stage, areas of interest, source links, and message content. We use it to evaluate, route, and respond to your inquiry and to maintain an appropriate correspondence record.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function properly (e.g., remembering your filter preferences)
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site
  • Advertising cookies: Used by third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance

Where required, advertising consent will be collected through consent controls before personalized advertising is enabled. You can also control stored data through your browser settings. Disabling certain storage may affect preferences but does not prevent access to editorial content.

Third-Party Services

Google Advertising

We use the Google tag to measure visits and actions associated with Google Ads campaigns. When display advertising is enabled, we may also use Google AdSense to show advertisements on the Site. Depending on your consent choices, Google may use cookies and similar technologies for ad measurement and personalization. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can revisit your optional advertising and analytics consent choice at any time.

Analytics

We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics and privacy-focused site analytics) to collect and analyze usage data. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site.

Email Delivery

We use an email delivery provider to route correction and partnership form submissions to our inbox. The provider processes the submitted contact details and message content on our behalf for delivery and abuse prevention.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregate data with partners for analytics purposes. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. If you contact us by email or a site form, we retain your correspondence for as long as needed to evaluate or resolve the inquiry, maintain business and correction records, and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your contact information, subject to records we must retain.
