Privacy Policy
General Information
In general, you can visit NAVER IKE’s website on the Internet without telling us who you are and without providing any personal information. However, there are occasions when we or our partners may require certain information from you.
You may choose to provide us with personal information in various circumstances. For example, you might provide your name and postal or email address in order to contact us, to process an order, or provide your credit card details to purchase something from us. Our intention is to inform you in advance how we will use such information before we collect it. If you inform us that you do not want us to use this information for anything beyond fulfilling your request, we will respect your wishes. If you provide personal information about someone else, such as a spouse or colleague, we will assume you have their consent to do so.
Use and Sharing of Personal Information
The following sections describe in more detail how NAVER IKE may use your personal data and with whom it may be shared. Depending on the NAVER IKE site you are visiting, one or more of these sections may apply. For instance, if you place an order on a NAVER IKE website, your information will be handled as described in the “Processing Your Transaction” and “Marketing Use” sections.
Processing Your Transaction
If you request something from a NAVER IKE website, such as a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. For this purpose, we may share your information with other parties involved in the transaction—such as other NAVER IKE departments, NAVER IKE Business Partners, financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or governmental authorities (e.g., customs authorities). We may also contact you in relation to a transaction, as part of a customer satisfaction survey or for market research purposes.
Marketing Use
Information you provide to NAVER IKE through its website may also be used by NAVER IKE and selected third parties for marketing purposes. However, you will be given the opportunity to choose whether or not your information may be used in this way before such use occurs.
Information Security and Quality
We aim to protect your personal information and maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes—such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive data—to help protect your information and maintain its accuracy.
Information Supplementation
From time to time, we may supplement the information you provide to us through NAVER IKE’s website with data from other sources, such as address verification services or publicly available business information. This helps us maintain data accuracy and provide better service.
Use of Suppliers
In some cases, NAVER IKE uses suppliers to collect, use, analyze, and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is NAVER IKE’s practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner consistent with our privacy policy.
Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Technologies
Sometimes we collect non-personally identifiable information during visits to our website, which helps us improve our customer services. For example, we track the domains from which visitors arrive and measure visitor activity on NAVER IKE’s website, but in ways that do not personally identify individuals. These are referred to as “clickstream data.” NAVER IKE or its service providers may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to help us better serve our clients.
Additionally, when we collect personal information during a transaction, we may extract some information in a non-personally identifiable format and combine it with others—for example, clickstream data. This information is only used and analyzed on an aggregate basis to understand trends and patterns. It is not reviewed at the individual user level.
We collect the information mentioned above through various technologies, including “cookies.” A cookie is a data element that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your device, but not you personally. Some NAVER IKE pages use cookies sent either by NAVER IKE or third-party vendors to provide you with better service upon future visits. You can set your browser to notify you before receiving a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also disable cookies entirely, though some websites may not function properly if you do.
NAVER IKE’s site may also use web beacons or other technologies to tailor the website to better serve our clients. These may be used across various pages on our website. When a visitor accesses these pages, an anonymous notice of that visit is generated, which may be processed by us or our suppliers. Web beacons generally work in conjunction with cookies. If you do not wish for cookie-related data to be associated with your visits, you can disable cookies in your browser.
Service Quality Monitoring
In certain online transactions, you may be asked to call us or we may call you. Please note that it is NAVER IKE’s general practice to monitor and, in some cases, record such calls for staff training and quality assurance purposes.
Online Advertising
Some companies assist us in delivering interactive online advertising, such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us understand which promotions, offers, and types of advertising are most effective. The collected data is aggregated and therefore not personally identifiable. If you prefer that these companies do not collect such information, you may contact us at info@naver.gr.
Legally Required Disclosures
Please note that in some cases, personal data may be subject to disclosure by legal or governmental order, subpoena, or warrant.
Links to Non-NAVER IKE Websites
NAVER IKE’s website may contain links to other sites. NAVER IKE is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites.

Whenever this statement is materially updated, a notice will be posted on the homepage of this website for 30 days.
