SKIN9HARI POLICY
Privacy Policy
KW Cosmetic Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) values the personal information of its users and establishes and discloses this Privacy Policy in accordance with Article 30 of the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea.
Article 1. Scope
This Policy applies to both the SKIN9HARI brand site and the SKIN9HARI online store operated by the Company. The two sites are separate channels run by the same business: membership, order, and payment information is processed on the online store, while access logs, cookies, and similar data are processed on both sites.
Where any previously posted privacy policy differs from this Policy, this Policy prevails.

| Customer support | Receiving and answering inquiries, handling complaints, and keeping records for dispute resolution |
| Review operation | Writing and posting purchase reviews and granting review reward points |
| Marketing and advertising | Only where the user has separately consented: notices of events and benefits and news about new products |

Article 4. Retention and Use Period
The Company destroys personal information without delay once the purpose of collection and use has been achieved. However, the following information is kept for the periods below as required by applicable laws.

Article 5. Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties
The Company does not use personal information beyond the purposes stated in Article 2 and does not provide it to third parties, except in the following cases:
- Where the user has given separate prior consent
- Where special provisions exist in law, or where an investigative agency requests it in accordance with the procedures and methods set out in law
When a user chooses a simple payment service such as Naver Pay or Kakao Pay, order and payment information is passed to that provider to the extent necessary to process the payment. Details are available in the Third Parties & Processors document.
In addition, automatic collection tools (cookies and pixels) of external advertising and analytics providers (Google LLC, Meta Platforms, Inc., NAVER Corporation, Kakao Corp., TikTok Pte. Ltd., and others) are installed on the Company’s websites, through which those providers directly collect users’ behavioral information. The items collected, retention periods, and opt-out methods for each provider are described in “4. Operation of Automatic Collection Tools on the Website and How to Opt Out” in the separate disclosure document.
Article 6. Outsourcing of Personal Information Processing
To provide its services smoothly, the Company outsources personal information processing to Cafe24 (online store system operation and hosting), CJ Logistics (shipping), KG Mobilians (electronic payment processing), CREMA (review service), Automattic Inc. (brand site hosting and access statistics), and others, and its outsourcing contracts set out the matters necessary to keep personal information safe. The full list of processors and outsourced tasks is given in the Third Parties & Processors document, and the two documents are always kept consistent.
Article 7. Transfer of Personal Information Overseas
For website operation, advertising, and analytics, the Company transfers personal information (including behavioral information) overseas to the following providers.
| Recipient | Country | Purpose of transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC | United States | Web usage statistics (GA4), advertising conversion measurement and remarketing (Google Ads), product information integration |
| Meta Platforms, Inc. | United States | Serving personalized ads and measuring advertising effectiveness |
| TikTok Pte. Ltd. | Singapore | Measuring advertising performance and serving personalized ads |
| Automattic Inc. | United States | Brand site hosting and visit statistics |
The items transferred, the time and method of transfer, the retention and use period, contact details, and how to refuse for each provider are disclosed in detail in the table “3. Transfer of Personal Information Overseas” in the Third Parties & Processors document. Users can refuse overseas transfer by blocking cookies in their browser or by using each provider’s opt-out tools; refusing does not restrict core services such as product search, ordering, and payment.
The servers of the online store system that processes orders and payments (Cafe24) and of the review service (CREMA) are located in Korea.
Article 8. Procedure and Method of Destruction
Procedure — Personal information whose retention period has expired or whose processing purpose has been achieved is destroyed without delay. Information that must be kept under applicable laws is moved to a separate database or stored in a different location, kept for the required period, and then destroyed.
Method — Information in electronic file form is deleted using technical methods that make it unrecoverable, and information printed on paper is shredded or incinerated.
Article 9. Rights and Obligations of Data Subjects and Legal Representatives, and How to Exercise Them
Users may exercise the following rights at any time:
- Request to access personal information
- Request correction of errors
- Request deletion
- Request suspension of processing
- Withdraw consent to collection and use
Users can exercise these rights directly on the online store’s My Page, or request them in writing, by phone, or by email using the contact details below. The Company takes the necessary action immediately upon receiving a request and notifies the user of the result.
Personal information of children under 14 is processed only with the consent of their legal representative, and the legal representative may exercise the above rights with respect to the child’s personal information.
When exercising rights through an agent, a power of attorney in the form prescribed by Annex Form No. 11 of the Enforcement Rule of the Personal Information Protection Act must be submitted.
Article 10. Operation of Cookies and Other Automatic Collection Tools, and How to Refuse Them
The Company uses cookies to provide users with customized screens and to understand usage statistics. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser.
- Purpose — Keeping users logged in, keeping shopping cart information, and analyzing visit frequency and usage patterns
- How to refuse — You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to ask for confirmation before storing them. However, if you refuse all cookies, some services such as login and ordering may be difficult to use.
The brand site uses a tool for access statistics (Jetpack Stats), through which access records are compiled.
In addition, the following external automatic collection tools for advertising and analytics operate on the Company’s websites: Google Analytics 4 (G-W37YY6P2J0), Google Ads conversion tracking (AW-768525450) and Google tag container (GT-WFMM7QDP), Meta Pixel (623276008117051), Kakao Pixel (6574928757734814002), and TikTok Pixel (CG41DDRC77U5H3K1QN9G). The items collected, cookie names, retention periods, and opt-out methods for each tool are described in detail in “4. Operation of Automatic Collection Tools on the Website and How to Opt Out” in the separate disclosure document. The Company does not operate a separate cookie consent banner, so users may refuse collection at any time using the methods described in that document.
A Naver log analysis script is also used to identify visit paths through Naver advertising and search, and cookies for checking the visit path (NA_CO, NVADID, CPAValidator, etc.) may be stored. These cookies are used only to check which path a visit came through in order to measure advertising performance, and they are not stored if cookies are blocked in the browser settings.
