Location service terms

Effective October 20, 2026

Article 1 (Purpose)

These terms set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between HAUTEN (the “Company”) and users regarding the use of personal location information in the stamp tour service STAMPY.

They exist to inform you and obtain your consent before personal location information is used, as required by Article 19 of Korea’s Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information.

Article 2 (Effect and changes)

  1. These terms take effect when posted on the service screen or otherwise notified to users.
  2. The Company may change these terms where necessary, announcing changes on the page for these terms that opens from the service screen (the website) at least 7 days before they take effect, or 30 days for changes unfavorable to users.
  3. A user who does not agree to the changed terms may withdraw consent.

Article 3 (What the location service does)

The Company uses personal location information to provide the following.

Place visit check Confirms that you are within the set radius of the place, fulfilling the visit requirement

“Nearest first” in lists and “My location” on the map are computed entirely on your device; no coordinates are sent to the Company’s servers. The only time the Company receives coordinates is for the place visit check. Computation on your device is not the Company receiving or using personal location information, so it works on your device’s location permission alone, without consent under these terms.

Article 4 (Use and retention of personal location information)

  1. When you attempt a place visit check, the Company receives your device’s coordinates and uses them solely to compute the distance to the place.
  2. The Company does not store coordinates. They are discarded immediately after the distance is computed; all that remains is whether the place’s requirement was met.
  3. Accordingly, the purpose of holding personal location information is the place visit check, and there is no retention period.

Article 5 (Basis and period for keeping records of use)

  1. Under Article 16(2) of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, the Company automatically records and retains confirmation records of location information use in its location information system.
  2. What is recorded is who (visitor identifier) attempted a location check at which place, when, and with what result. Coordinates are not included.
  3. Records are kept for 6 months and then destroyed.

Article 6 (Disclosure to third parties)

The Company does not disclose users’ personal location information to third parties. Should disclosure become necessary, the Company will inform you of the recipient and purpose in advance, obtain separate consent, and notify you immediately of the recipient, time, and purpose each time it is disclosed.

Article 7 (Your rights)

You have the following rights, which the Company will not refuse.

Right How to exercise it
Withdraw all or part of your consent at any time In the app: Settings → Location consent → Withdraw. On the web: Location consent → Withdraw at the bottom of the event info
Ask for use of your location to be suspended temporarily Turn off location permission on your device or browser. While it is off, your location is not used, and your consent and the records stay as they are
Ask to view or be notified of the records of use Request at support@stampy.site
Ask for corrections where there are errors Request at support@stampy.site

When you withdraw consent, the Company destroys the records of use without delay. Pressing “Delete all my records” in the app or on the web also counts as withdrawing consent. The record of which version of the terms you agreed to, and when you agreed and withdrew, is not personal location information; it is kept for 6 months after withdrawal and then destroyed. After withdrawal, place visits can still be confirmed by other methods the event offers, such as QR, NFC card, or staff confirmation.

Article 8 (Protection of children)

  1. Children under 14 cannot agree to these terms. Article 25 of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information requires the consent of a legal guardian, and its verification, before the personal location information of a child under 14 is used; the Company has no means of verifying a user’s age or guardian. Only people aged 14 or over may therefore consent to location checks, and children under 14 confirm their visit to a place by the other methods the event provides (QR, NFC card, staff confirmation, or the QR shown on a screen at the place) instead.
  2. Article 26 of the same Act lets the guardian of a child aged 8 or under, etc., consent to the use of location information to protect that person’s life or body. This service confirms visits to places and does not protect anyone’s life or body, so the Company does not accept this consent.

Article 9 (Damages and limitation of liability)

  1. If the Company causes you damage by violating Articles 15 to 26 of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, you may claim compensation. The Company is not exempt unless it proves the absence of intent or negligence.
  2. The Company is not liable for damage caused by events beyond its control, such as natural disasters, carrier outages, or positioning errors on your device.
  3. Satellite positioning (GPS) is inherently subject to error; the Company accounts for this by judging each place within a set radius.

Article 10 (Dispute resolution)

  1. Disputes about these terms are first resolved by agreement between the Company and the user. Where no agreement is reached or agreement is not possible, the Company may apply to the Korea Media and Communications Commission (formerly the Korea Communications Commission) for adjudication under Article 28(1) of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, and either the Company or the user may apply to the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee for mediation under Article 28(2).
  2. Other disputes are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, with jurisdiction determined by the Civil Procedure Act.

Supplementary provision

These terms apply from October 20, 2026.

Effective October 20, 2026. Amended on October 19, 2026. “Nearby places”, which is computed only on your device so the Company receives no coordinates, was removed from the table of services the Company provides using personal location information, and suspension was separated from withdrawal. The Company’s use of personal location information became narrower, not wider. Because the app had not yet been released, we did not wait 7 days, and the effective date matches the other legal documents amended the same day. Users who agreed to an earlier version are asked to agree to the changed terms when they next use the location check. The changes:

  • Article 3. Removed the row “Nearby places | Shows the places closest to you first on the map and in lists”, and the paragraph below the table, ‘“Nearby places” is computed entirely on your device; no coordinates are sent to the Company’s servers’, became ‘“Nearest first” in lists and “My location” on the map are computed entirely on your device … without consent under these terms’.
  • Article 7 table. For suspension, removed “Settings → Location consent → Withdraw”, which is the same as withdrawal and deletes the records of use, leaving “Turn off location permission on your device or browser. While it is off, your location is not used, and your consent and the records stay as they are”.
  • Wording. “by the other methods the event offers: QR, NFC card, or staff confirmation” became “by other methods the event offers, such as QR, NFC card, or staff confirmation” (Article 7), “these Terms” became “these terms”, “Korea’s Location Information Act” became “the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information”, and “location confirmation” became “location checks” (Article 8). American spelling (“unfavorable”) and dates written as “October 20, 2026”.

Effective October 17, 2026. Amended again on October 16, 2026. A guardian’s consent under Article 26 of the Location Information Act is meant for services that protect a person’s life or body, so it does not fit visit confirmation, and there was no way to give it; the terms now say it is not accepted. Because the app had not yet been released, this takes effect on October 17, 2026 rather than 7 days later. Users who agreed to an earlier version are asked to agree to the amended terms when they next use a location check. The change:

  • Article 8(2) to (4). Removed clause 2 (a guardian’s consent to protect the life or body of a child aged 8 or under, an adult ward, or a person with a severe mental disability counts as that person’s own consent), clause 3 (the guardian consents in writing and submits it to support@stampy.site with proof of guardianship) and clause 4 (the guardian may exercise that person’s rights), and replaced them with one clause: “Article 26 of the same Act lets … so the Company does not accept this consent”.

Effective October 16, 2026. The first version, effective October 15, 2026, was amended on October 16, 2026: we corrected passages that differed from the current law and matched where we announce changes to what we actually do. Because the app had not yet been released, the amendment took effect on the day it was announced rather than 7 days later. Users who agreed to the first version are asked to agree to the amended terms when they next use a location check. The changes, before and after:

  • Article 2(2). “announcing changes on the service screen” became “announcing changes on the page for these terms that opens from the service screen (the website)”.
  • Article 7 table. “turn off location permission on your device” became “turn off location permission on your device or browser”, as in the Korean terms.
  • Article 8(2). “A person with a disability as prescribed by Presidential Decree under the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities” became, in the wording of Article 26(1)3 of the Location Information Act, “A person with a mental disability under Article 2(2)2 of the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities who has a severe disability under Article 2, subparagraph 2 of the Act on Employment Promotion and Vocational Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (only those registered under Article 32 of the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities)”.
  • Article 10(1). “Failing that, you may apply for adjudication by the Korea Media and Communications Commission (formerly the Korea Communications Commission) under Article 28 of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, or for mediation by the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee” became, as Article 28 of that Act provides, “Where no agreement is reached or agreement is not possible, the Company may apply to the Korea Media and Communications Commission (formerly the Korea Communications Commission) for adjudication under Article 28(1) of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, and either the Company or the user may apply to the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee for mediation under Article 28(2)”.
