1. Personal Information We Collect
This Privacy Policy explains how GlintFoundry (the "Company") collects and uses personal information in connection with the GlintName service (the "Service").
We may collect the following information when you sign up for and use the Service:
- Required: email address, login identifier (Google/Apple, etc.), internal user ID
- Optional: profile information (name/nickname, etc.), information you provide when contacting us
- Information you enter to use the Service: date and time of birth, place of birth (city), gender and family name, which you provide for the naming, name analysis and fortune features
- Automatically collected: device and connection information, usage logs, cookies and similar technologies
2. Purposes of Use
- User authentication and account management
- Provision, operation and improvement of the Service, and statistics/analytics
- Security, prevention of abuse and fraud
- Responding to inquiries and providing customer support
3. Retention and Use Period
In principle, we retain your personal information until you delete your account or the Service is terminated. When you request account deletion, your account enters a 30-day grace period during which your data is retained and your account can be restored. After 30 days, your personal information is permanently deleted without undue delay.
During the 30-day grace period, you may log back in with the same account to restore your data and resume using the Service. This period also helps prevent unintended loss of data due to accidental deletion.
Where applicable laws require us to keep certain information for a specified period (for example, records related to contracts, payments or tax), we store that information separately for the required period and delete it after the period expires.
4. Provision to Third Parties
We do not provide personal information to third parties without your consent, except where required by law or where it is necessary to protect vital interests, comply with legal obligations, or respond to legitimate requests from public authorities.
5. Entrusted Processing (Sub-processors) and International Transfers
We may entrust part of our operations to external service providers (for example, cloud infrastructure, payment processing or analytics). In such cases we enter into appropriate contracts and supervise these providers to ensure that personal information is handled safely and in compliance with applicable laws.
International transfers: To generate naming reports, name analyses and daily fortune narratives we use AI processing services from the providers below. Personal information is therefore transferred abroad.
- Recipients: OpenAI, L.L.C. (United States), Google LLC (United States)
- Data transferred: the date and time of birth, place of birth (city), gender and family name you enter, and the Saju analysis derived from them (account data such as your email address or login identifier is not transmitted)
- Purpose: generating report and fortune narratives
- Timing and method: transmitted via API over encrypted connections (HTTPS) at the time you use the Service
- Retention: until the narrative has been generated; any subsequent handling is governed by each provider's own data processing policy
The Republic of Korea is covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission (December 2021). Transfers of personal data from the EU/EEA to Korea therefore do not require an additional transfer tool such as standard contractual clauses.
6. Technical and Organisational Safeguards
- Encryption of data in transit and, where appropriate, at rest
- Access control and least-privilege management for personnel and systems
- Log monitoring and detection of suspicious or abnormal activities
- Security and privacy training for staff who handle personal information
7. Your Rights and Account Deletion
Subject to applicable law, you may exercise the following rights in relation to your personal information.
- The right to request access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing
- Data portability — the right to receive the data you provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to another controller (GDPR Article 20)
- The right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests (GDPR Article 21)
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it (GDPR Article 7(3))
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Korea, the Personal Information Protection Commission and the Privacy Report Centre (privacy.kisa.or.kr); in the EU/EEA, the supervisory authority of your country of residence (for France, the CNIL) (GDPR Article 77)
When we receive such a request, we will handle it within a reasonable scope in accordance with legal requirements and the nature of the information involved, and we will explain our reasons where the law limits what we can do.
How to Request Account and Data Deletion:
You can delete your account directly in the app — open the
Profile tab and tap Delete Account at the bottom of the
screen. Alternatively, you may send an email to
support@glintfoundry.com.
Once requested, your account will enter a 30-day grace period. After this period, your data (including email, identifiers, and profile info) will be permanently deleted.
Data we are legally required to retain (such as payment or tax records) will be securely stored for the legally mandated period before being permanently deleted.
8. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases under Article 6.
- Performance of a contract — account creation and authentication, provision of the Service, payment processing (Article 6(1)(b))
- Consent — processing of the date and time of birth, place of birth, gender and family name that you enter for report generation, and the related international transfer (Article 6(1)(a); Article 49(1)(a))
- Legitimate interests — security, prevention of fraud and abuse, and improvement of service quality (Article 6(1)(f))
- Compliance with a legal obligation — retention of records required by tax, e-commerce and similar laws (Article 6(1)(c))
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time; doing so may limit your ability to use the relevant features.
Children: The Service is not available to children under the age of 14. Users in the EU/EEA under the age of 16 (or a lower age set by their Member State, down to 13) may use the Service only with the consent of a holder of parental responsibility. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below these ages and will delete such information without undue delay if we become aware of it.
