Privacy Policy

Effective: October 8, 2026 (updated October 14, 2026)

KangLab (“the site”) respects your privacy and follows applicable laws, including South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act. The site has no sign-up and never asks you to enter personal information. This policy explains information that may be processed automatically and how third-party services (advertising and affiliate programs) use cookies.

1. Information processed and why

  • When you email us: your email address, name (if given) and message, used to reply.
  • Collected automatically: IP address, browser and device information, visit time, cookies and similar data, used to run and secure the site and to serve ads.

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. The site itself does not use cookies for sign-in, but the third-party services below may. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features, such as personalised ads, may then be limited.

Your theme (light/dark) and language (Korean/English) choices are stored only in your browser’s local storage and are never sent to a server.

Google AdSense

  • The site may use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors’ cookies at www.aboutads.info.
  • See How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Affiliate links

Some Korean-language stories contain Coupang Partners affiliate links, disclosed at the top of each such story. Clicking one takes you to Coupang, which may use cookies to attribute purchases. The price you pay does not change, and we never receive your order or payment details.

3. Retention

  • Email enquiries: kept for one year after we reply, then deleted (unless the law requires longer).
  • Automatically collected data and cookies: as set by each third-party service.

4. Third parties and processors

We never sell or share your personal information. To run the site we use the services below, which may process access data, in some cases outside South Korea.

  • Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting and security (access logs)
  • Google LLC — advertising (Google AdSense)
  • Coupang Corp. — affiliate attribution (Coupang Partners)

5. Your rights

You may ask at any time to access, correct, delete or stop the processing of your personal information. Email us and we will act without delay.
