Privacy and Cookie Policy

BTS Insight (https://bts.wonderingwhat7.com/) is an independent English-language editorial site. This policy explains what information we process and how to contact us. It is written to be clear for readers and to meet common privacy-notice expectations, including Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act where it applies to the operator.

Effective date: 25 August 2026

1. Who we are

Site name: BTS Insight
Operator contact (email only): admin@wonderingwhat7.com
We do not publish a phone number or home address, and we do not collect phone numbers.

This site is not affiliated with BTS, BIGHIT MUSIC, HYBE, Weverse, or Ticketmaster.

Reading and answering messages sent to the contact email
Comment identification and spam prevention (if comments are enabled)
Security, error logs, and basic traffic statistics

We do not run a public membership signup.

3. Information we may process

If you email us: your email address, name if you include one, and the message
If you comment: nickname, email, comment text, date
Automatically: IP address, browser type, cookies, visit time, pages viewed
We do not ask for resident registration numbers or other sensitive IDs

4. How long we keep it

Email inquiries: until the matter is finished, then up to 1 year, or sooner if you ask us to delete it
Comments: until you ask for deletion, or the page is removed
Server/access logs: typically up to 3 months unless a longer legal retention applies

5. Cookies and similar tools

We use a cookie banner so you can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Necessary cookies keep the site working (for example, consent settings). You can also block cookies in your browser; some features may then be limited.

6. Analytics, video, ads, and hosting

Third parties may process data under their own policies when their tools load:

Hosting: FastComet / the server that stores this WordPress site
Statistics: Google Analytics (measurement ID G-ZSYW3SKM01)
Embedded official video: YouTube (Google)
Cookie consent: CookieAdmin
If advertising is shown later (for example Google AdSense), those providers process data under their policies

We do not sell personal information.

7. Sharing with others

We share information only when the law requires it, when you ask us to, or when a vendor must process it to run the site (hosting, email, analytics, video). We do not give contact lists to marketers.

8. Your rights

You may ask to access, correct, delete, or stop processing information we hold about you, and you may withdraw consent for optional cookies. Write to admin@wonderingwhat7.com and include the relevant page URL. We do not take privacy requests by phone.

9. Children

This site is a public editorial site. We do not knowingly collect extra personal data from children. Parents or guardians may email us to request deletion of a message that includes a child’s information.

10. Security and deletion

Access to the WordPress admin is password-protected. When we no longer need information, we delete it from active systems so it cannot reasonably be restored. Paper copies, if any, are shredded.

11. Privacy contact

Privacy questions go to the same inbox as other editorial mail: admin@wonderingwhat7.com. That is the only contact method we publish.

12. Changes

If this policy changes in a material way, we will update this page and the date at the top.
