Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 3, 2026 (previous effective date: June 14, 2025)

A&B Network (sole proprietorship, representative Ruby Kim, business registration no. 630-24-01975, "Company") values your privacy and handles personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws.

1. Personal Information We Collect

(1) Contact form

When you submit an inquiry, we collect:

• Required: name, email address, request category, message content
• Optional: phone number

We cannot accept an inquiry unless the required fields are filled in; the optional field may be left blank. Your inquiry is delivered to the Company's email through Web3Forms. Web3Forms states that, to prevent spam, it may send the submitter's IP address and email address to spam prevention services such as CleanTalk and Akismet (Automattic).

(2) AI chatbot

When you use the chatbot, the conversation content you enter is processed. The conversation content you enter in the chatbot is sent to the Gemini API of Google LLC (USA) to generate a response. The chatbot gives automated responses generated by AI. You may voluntarily include personal details such as your name or contact information, but we do not require account registration to use the chatbot.

(3) Video meeting booking

When you book through Google Calendar, the name, email address and appointment time you enter are passed to the Company through Google, and Google also processes them under its own policies.

(4) Automatically collected data

While the website is delivered to you, the following data may be recorded automatically:

• IP address, date and time of access, requested address
• Browser type and version, operating system, device type
• Referring URL (the page you came from)
• Identifiers stored through cookies and similar technologies

This data is collected through hosting (Cloudflare), Cloudflare Web Analytics and Google Analytics. The Company does not combine it to identify a specific person.

This site is hosted on Cloudflare and may receive network error reports sent by your browser (Network Error Logging), which contain technical data such as IP address, user agent and the URL that failed.

Site statistics. This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, provided by Cloudflare, Inc. (USA), to see how pages are used and to measure performance. The tool sets no cookies and does not use browser local or session storage. Each page view sends Cloudflare the page address (without the query string), the referring page, country-level location derived from your IP address, browser, operating system and device type, and page-load timings. Cloudflare states that it does not use this tool to track individual visitors across websites. Statistics can be viewed for the previous six months. You can block the script with a content blocker; the site works without it. Questions or objections: contact@anb-network.com. See https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

The Cloudflare tool sets no cookies; Google Analytics, described below, uses cookies.

Visit analytics (Google Analytics 4). We use Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC, USA), which runs automatically when a page loads. It stores Google cookies (such as _ga) and sends Google the pages visited, time on site, referral source, device and browser data, approximate location and a cookie identifier. We use it to understand visitor numbers and which pages are viewed most. Google keeps event data for up to 14 months (the product maximum; the actual setting may be shorter).

2. Purpose of Use

We use collected information to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide services
• Provide automated service guidance through the AI chatbot
• Facilitate video meeting bookings
• Analyze website usage and improve our services
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Retention Period

• Contact form: Deleted within one year from the day the inquiry is handled. If a contract is concluded, contract and accounting records are kept for the period required by applicable laws.
• Web3Forms: Web3Forms states that it keeps form submission data for a maximum of three years from submission and then deletes it automatically (Web3Forms privacy policy, read 2026-10-03).
• AI chatbot: We do not store conversations on our servers. Messages are kept temporarily in your browser's sessionStorage and are removed when you close the tab or browser. Content sent to the Google Gemini API is handled under Google's policies.
• Access logs: The Company does not store access logs separately; technical data that Cloudflare processes while hosting the site is covered by the Cloudflare items above.
• Site statistics: Cloudflare states that Cloudflare Web Analytics statistics can be viewed for the previous six months; Google Analytics keeps event data for up to 14 months.

4. Provision to Third Parties

We do not provide personal information to third parties without your consent, except where required by law.

7. Cookies

Cloudflare Web Analytics sets no cookies. Google Analytics uses cookies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings or use the add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . Some features may be limited. When you use the booking feature (an embedded Google Calendar page), Google may use its own cookies and similar technologies under Google's policies. Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored in your browser's localStorage and is not sent to our servers.
