Privacy Policy

The Korean Resource Center (KRC) maintains a number of websites, including krlca.org, nakasec.org, nakasec.net, dreamriders.us, yokim.net, churchpeace.org, newsb.org and is committed to maintaining your privacy as you use these sites. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

On all of our sites, we use non-personally identifiable and aggregate information to better design our sites. On all of our sites at which we collect personally identifiable information through the site registration process you can correct or modify that information by editing your user profile. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.

 

Aggregated Statistics

krcla.org may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, krcla.org may reveal how many downloads a particular version got, or say which plugins are most popular based on checks from a web service used by KRC installations to check for new versions of KRC and plugins. However, krcla.org does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

krcla.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on krcla.org’s behalf or to provide services available at krcla.org, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using krcla.org, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. krcla.org will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, krcla.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when krcla.org believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of krcla.org, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a krcla.org website and have supplied your email address, krcla.org may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with krcla.org and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. krcla.org takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
