This Privacy Policy has been established pursuant to Article 30 of the Personal Information Protection Act and related notices to clearly inform data subjects (hereinafter, 'Users') about the collection, use, provision, destruction of personal information, and the rights of data subjects.
This Policy applies to general members and booking/payment users of holidaykr.com (B2C). Users of the B2B Partner Portal (partner.holidaykr.com) are subject to that portal's separate privacy policy.
We lawfully collect and process personal information only to the minimum extent necessary to provide services and perform contracts.

When accepting membership or bookings from children under the age of 14, we provide practical verification methods (mobile phone identity verification, credit card verification, etc.) to obtain and confirm explicit consent from the legal guardian.
A legal guardian may at any time request access, correction, deletion, or suspension of processing of the child’s personal information, and we will take necessary measures without delay.
We do not provide personal information to third parties or disclose it externally beyond the scope of collection without the user's prior consent. However, for the actual fulfillment of reservations for global local rental cars, driver-guides, and resort and activity distributors in Gangwon-do and the outskirts of Seoul, we provide to third parties and conduct cross-border transfers as follows.
Specifications of cross-border data transfer:
Recipient of the data: Overseas local land operators and vehicle partners providing services as specified on the booking page
Purpose of transfer: Allocation of dedicated local vehicles overseas, passenger verification for shuttles and chartered guides, and response to local emergencies
Items transferred: English name, passport number, mobile messenger ID (WhatsApp/LINE/WeChat), flight number, date of use
Method and timing of transfer: Real-time transmission over a secure network (SSL/TLS) upon completion of booking payment
Retention and use period: Destroyed immediately after service use and settlement are completed; however, if retention is mandated under applicable local tax laws overseas, such laws will be observed
Users have the right to refuse the above cross-border transfers; however, refusal may restrict reservations for overseas local products and registration/use of the platform.
When personal information becomes unnecessary due to the expiration of the retention period, achievement of the processing purpose, etc., we destroy such personal information without delay (typically within 5 days).
Information in electronic file form is deleted using technical methods that render records irrecoverable (e.g., low-level format), and personal information printed on paper is destroyed by shredding or incineration.
