At First K-Food (accessible from https://firstkfood.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document explains what information First K-Food collects and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about this Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

1. Information We Collect

Voluntarily Provided Information: If you contact us through our Contact form, we may receive personal information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Newsletter Subscription: If you subscribe to our email list to receive our free Authentic K-Food Guide or other updates, we collect and store your email address for that purpose. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send.

Automatically Collected Information: Like most websites, we automatically collect service usage records, access logs, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, and referring/exit pages to analyze traffic trends and administer the site, using Naver Analytics.

We also use Google Search Console to monitor how our site appears in Google Search results (such as search queries and indexing status). Search Console does not provide us with any personal information that identifies individual visitors.

2. Purpose of Collection and Use of Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Service Provision & Communication: To respond to your inquiries and requests.
  • Newsletter Delivery: To send the content you signed up for and occasional updates, which you can opt out of at any time.
  • Service Improvement & Analytics: To analyze website traffic and visitor behavior in order to improve our recipes, travel content, and overall user experience.
  • Site Security: To monitor and prevent unauthorized or fraudulent activity on the website.

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising Policy

First K-Food partners with third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website.

  • Advertising Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. This enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to firstkfood.com and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Third-Party Advertisers: Other third-party ad servers or networks may use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in the ads and links that appear on First K-Food. They may automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure ad effectiveness and/or personalize the ads you see.

Note: First K-Food has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

First K-Food uses cookies to store information such as your preferences and the pages you’ve visited, so we can optimize your experience. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; consult your browser’s help pages for details.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to:

  • Know what categories and specific pieces of personal data we’ve collected about you.
  • Delete personal data we’ve collected about you.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data.

First K-Food does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. We do share certain automatically collected data (such as cookies and device identifiers) with third-party ad networks like Google AdSense for personalized advertising, which may be considered “sharing” under the CCPA.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us by email below. We will respond within 45 days.

6. Data Retention and Security

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
