Tara Games complies with privacy protection requirements that information and communication service providers must follow under relevant laws such as the Personal Information Protection Act.
The Privacy Policy provides information about the personal information lifecycle, including what personal information Tara Games collects, how collected information is used, who it is shared with when necessary, and when and how personal information is destroyed once the purpose of use is achieved.
Additionally, it informs users about what rights they have regarding their personal information, how they can exercise these rights, and who to contact for help and damage prevention in case of personal information breach incidents.
The Privacy Policy plays a role in ensuring users' right to self-determination of personal information by regulating the rights/obligations relationship between Tara Games and users in the game services and related services (hereinafter referred to as "Services") provided by Tara Games, along with the personal information lifecycle as described above.
Tara Games collects the following personal information:
Tara Games receives the user's nickname (name), member number, friend list, and profile picture that the user uses in the platform operator's service (e.g., Kakao, Google, Apple) from the platform operator, and the platform operator provides this information to Tara Games after obtaining consent for personal information provision under the Information and Communications Network Act at the time the user uses the service.
In addition to personal information received from platform operators, Tara Games collects service usage records, access logs, abuse records, carrier information, OS information and device information, advertising identifiers, language information, and payment records during the process of providing services or when users use services.
During service use, information that can confirm the installation of service applications and platform operator applications (e.g., Chrome, KakaoTalk, etc.) may be collected for linking between service applications. In this case, only information that can confirm the installation status of applications is collected, and no other information is collected.
When users participate in events conducted in the service or apply for prizes, or when additional information is collected during service inquiry processes, Tara Games notifies users of the personal information being collected, purpose of use, retention period, etc., and collects it after obtaining separate consent.

Personal information is used to confirm registration or withdrawal intentions, verify and identify users according to service use, prevent acts that interfere with service operation such as restricting use of users who violate terms or usage policies, prevent fraudulent use, preserve records for dispute resolution, handle complaints, and deliver notices.
Personal information is used for service usage record analysis and statistics, provision of customized services (including advertising), service provision and customized advertising based on demographic characteristics, service development/provision or updates, and provision of events or advertising information.

Tara Games informs users before collecting or providing personal information about who the collection/provision partner is, what information is needed, and how long it will be stored, and seeks consent. If users do not consent, it is not collected or provided.
Tara Games may provide information when there are special provisions in laws or when investigative agencies request it for investigation purposes according to procedures and methods prescribed by law.
Tara Games destroys users' personal information without delay when users withdraw from the service. However, if separate consent has been obtained from users regarding the retention period of personal information or if related laws specify a certain period for retention obligations, it is retained for that period and then destroyed without delay.
Additionally, according to the Personal Information Protection Act, personal information of users who have not used the service for 1 year is destroyed and separated, and separated personal information is retained for 5 years and then destroyed without delay.
Tara Games destroys personal information whose collection and use purposes have been achieved, such as user service withdrawal, service termination, or retention period expiration, using methods that make recovery and regeneration impossible.
For printed materials that can be shredded, they are physically shredded using shredders or incinerated to make recombination impossible, and personal information stored in electronic file format is destroyed using technical methods that make regeneration impossible (e.g., low-level format, wiping, etc.).
Users or legal representatives can view or modify their own personal information or that of children under 14 at any time through platform operators or app store operators. Additionally, in the service application settings, users can view information provided by platform operators to Tara Games and withdraw consent for personal information collection and use (including user information collected by Tara Games) using "Withdrawal."
Correction (modification) of personal information of users or children under 14 must be done using the member information modification function provided by platform operators or app store operators, and if correction of personal information errors is requested, personal information is not used or provided until correction is completed.
