Responses submitted through user surveys are used only to improve the Service. Where survey results are shared or published, they are shared in aggregated or anonymized form that does not identify individual Members.

To exercise these rights, please use the profile settings within the Service or contact us at recreekr@gmail.com.
9. Use of Location Information
- The Service uses your device's location, obtained through your web browser's geolocation feature, solely to center the map on your current location and to support map-based exploration. This location is processed only on your device (client-side). The Team does not transmit this location to its servers, does not store it, and does not provide it to any third party.
- The browser's location feature operates only after you grant permission through your web browser or operating system. You may decline this permission, or withdraw it at any time through your browser or device settings. The Service remains usable without it; only the automatic centering of the map on your location will be unavailable.
- Any coordinates that the Service stores are not your device's location, but the coordinates of places you choose to save (bookmark) or post about (for example, a recreeshot associated with a specific place). Such coordinates are processed as part of the Content and saved items described in Section 1, and are not used to track your movements.
10. Automatic Collection Devices (Cookies, etc.)
- The Team uses Google Analytics, a web analytics tool provided by Google LLC, to understand how the Service is used and to improve its quality. For this purpose, Google Analytics automatically collects usage information (such as pages visited and access timestamps) and stores cookies (such as
_ga) in the user's web browser. - The Team also uses Microsoft Clarity, a behavioral analytics tool provided by Microsoft Corporation, to understand how users interact with the Service and to improve its usability and design. Microsoft Clarity may record user interactions during a session — such as mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and page navigation (commonly referred to as "session replay") — and generates aggregated heatmaps. Clarity applies masking by default to obscure text input and other sensitive content, so that the actual content you type is not captured. Clarity stores cookies in the user's web browser for these purposes.
- These cookies are used only for statistical analysis and user experience improvement. The Team does not use them for online customized (targeted) advertising and does not collect behavioral information for advertising purposes.
- Users may refuse the collection of these cookies at any time through their web browser settings (for example, by blocking or deleting cookies) or, for Google Analytics, by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). Refusing cookies does not place any restriction on the use of the Service, although it may affect usage statistics.
- Information collected through Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may be transferred to and processed overseas by Google LLC and Microsoft Corporation respectively, as described in Section 5.
11. Personal Information Protection Officer
The Team has designated a Personal Information Protection Officer to oversee all matters related to personal information processing and to handle user complaints and remedies.
- Personal Information Protection Officer: reCree Team
- Email: recreekr@gmail.com
12. Remedies for Infringement of Rights
If you need to report, consult, or seek dispute resolution regarding personal information infringement, you may contact the following organizations:
- Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (www.kopico.go.kr / 1833-6972)
