It also explains what rights users have regarding their personal information and how they can exercise those rights. In addition, it provides information on whom users can contact and where they can seek assistance to prevent or mitigate harm in the event of a personal information breach.
In addition to outlining the lifecycle of users’ personal information, this Privacy Policy establishes the respective rights and obligations of Prettybusy and users in connection with the game services and all related services provided by Prettybusy (hereinafter referred to as the “Services”). It serves to safeguard users’ right to informational self-determination regarding their personal information.

However, personal information may be used or provided with due care in the following cases:

5 Retention and Use Period of Personal Information
As a general rule, Prettybusy destroys users’ personal information without delay when they withdraw from the Services. However, if a user has separately consented to a specific retention period or applicable laws require personal information to be retained for a certain period, the information will be retained for the required period and destroyed without delay thereafter.
In addition, in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, the personal information of users who have not used the Services for one year will be stored separately. Such separately stored personal information will be retained for five years and destroyed without delay thereafter.
Prettybusy destroys personal information for which the purposes of collection and use have been fulfilled, such as when a user withdraws from the Services, the Services are discontinued, or the retention period expires, using methods that make recovery or reproduction impossible. For information stored in physical formats, such as printed materials, the information is physically shredded using a shredder or otherwise destroyed through incineration or similar methods to prevent reconstruction. Personal information stored in electronic files is destroyed using technical methods that prevent recovery, such as low-level formatting or wiping.
Where applicable laws require personal information to be retained for a specified period, Prettybusy retains the information for the period prescribed by the relevant laws and does not use it for any purpose other than the purpose for which it is retained.
The retention periods prescribed by the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc. are as follows:
- Records relating to contracts or withdrawal of subscription: 5 years
- Records relating to payment and the supply of goods, etc.: 5 years
