Privacy policy

Information you provide

Have Nunchi newsletter signups and delivery are paused. We do not collect email addresses through a signup form. If you email us, we receive your address and the information you include so we can respond. For a past email or subscription request, contact hi@havenunchi.com. This site does not change your subscriptions to other newsletters.

Visit statistics and overseas transfer

Visit statistics (Google Analytics 4) load only if you choose “Allow” in the banner at the bottom of the screen (consent under Article 28-8(1)(1) of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act). If you do not allow it, you can still read everything on the site the same way.

• Items collected: a cookie identifier, pages visited and when, button and tool interactions (for example pronunciation playback and Korean-name tool selections, never your email address or the name you type), browser and device type, and approximate region inferred from your IP address.
• Purpose: to see visit and interaction statistics and improve pages.
• Recipient: Google LLC (Google Analytics 4) — contact via https://support.google.com/policies
• Country of transfer: United States. When and how: sent over the network each time you view a page after allowing it.
• Retention: Google Analytics event data retention of 14 months (our setting), then deleted.
• How to refuse and its effect: choose “Not now” in the banner, or change your choice at any time with “Analytics settings” in the footer. Refusing does not limit your use of the site.

Advertising

Have Nunchi may display Google AdSense advertising.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on a visit to this site or other sites. Google’s advertising cookies may support personalized advertising, frequency control, and reporting. You can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings and read how Google uses information from partner sites.

Korean-name tool

The editorial name chooser uses a fixed Have Nunchi catalog. If you choose the “Match my current name” mode, the given name you enter is sent to OpenRouter so a selected model can normalize its pronunciation and Hangul spelling. Those requests are sent with settings that request zero data retention and deny provider data collection. Have Nunchi does not intentionally store submitted names in a profile database.

Match results may use short-lived encrypted tokens to continue a result flow. Shared result pages use a reviewed candidate identifier and do not include the original spelling by default. Do not enter a full legal name or other sensitive information into the tool.

Technical logs

Our hosting and security providers process standard request data needed to deliver and protect the site, which can include IP address, timestamp, requested path, browser or bot user agent, and referrer. Have Nunchi also records limited path, user-agent, referrer, and timestamp data when it identifies an AI crawler or AI referral. These records are used for operations, abuse prevention, and aggregate measurement.

Service providers

Information is processed only as needed for the site by providers including:

• Vercel for website hosting and request delivery;
• Google for analytics (only if you allow it) and advertising, when enabled; and
• OpenRouter and its selected model provider for the optional name-matching feature.

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy practices. Information may also be disclosed if required by law, to protect the service and its users, or as part of a business transfer subject to appropriate safeguards.

Retention and your choices

Correspondence is kept as needed to respond to your request. Analytics, advertising, and hosting records follow the applicable provider and account retention settings. We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described, security, legal obligations, or dispute resolution.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, use Google’s advertising controls, avoid the optional name matcher, and contact us about past emails. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal information.

Children and international processing

Have Nunchi is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Our providers may process information in countries other than your own, where data-protection rules may differ.

Change history

• October 3, 2026: Newsletter signups and delivery paused. Visit statistics now include page navigation and pronunciation playback after consent.
• September 28, 2026: Google Analytics 4 now loads only after you allow it, and we added the overseas-transfer notice. If the overseas-transfer items change, we will ask for consent again.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site or its providers change. The date above identifies the current version. For a privacy request or question, email hi@havenunchi.com. You can also visit the contact page.
