Privacy Policy
What this site does — and deliberately doesn’t do — with your data. The one-line summary: the calculators run in your browser, and nothing you type is stored or sent.
The short version
Korea Money Guide is a static educational site. There is no login, no account, and no form that uploads your documents. The calculators run entirely in your browser — nothing you type into them is stored, logged, or sent anywhere.
Calculator inputs stay in your browser
Every calculator and checklist on this site runs locally in your browser. Your inputs (salary, deposit, transfer amounts, quiz answers) are never transmitted to us or to anyone else, and they disappear when you leave the page.
Even so, please don’t enter sensitive identifiers — account numbers, resident registration numbers, passwords, or private documents. The tools never need them.
Analytics
The site uses Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics 4, which helps us understand aggregate traffic — which pages are visited and roughly from where. This involves cookies and similar technologies operated by Google; analytics never sees anything you type into the calculators.
You can block analytics with browser settings or extensions, or with Google’s own opt-out tools. The site works fully without it.
Advertising
The site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to show ads based on your earlier visits to this site or to other websites, and to measure them. Ads are a separate layer from the calculators: the ad system never sees anything you type into a tool, and ads are never placed inside a tool’s input or result panel.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) and, for some other third-party vendors, at aboutads.info/choices. Visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before any personalized ad is shown, and can change that choice at any time; without consent, ads there are non-personalized or not shown.
Affiliate links
The site currently contains no affiliate links. If we add them later, each one will be a plain outbound link, disclosed right where it appears, and listed in this policy. An affiliate link never changes what we write: the same sentence stands with or without it, and we never rank or recommend providers.
External links
Pages link to official bodies (the National Pension Service, the National Tax Service, the National Health Insurance Service, the Bank of Korea, Customs and others), banks and service providers as sources. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices that we don’t control.
Contact & changes
Questions or corrections: contact@koreamoneyguide.com. Please don’t email sensitive personal information — account numbers, ID numbers, passwords, OTPs, or private contracts.
When this policy changes (for example, when advertising launches), the date at the bottom of this page is updated.
