Location-Based Services Terms
Article 1 (Purpose) These Terms set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between B-Territory (the "Service") and the subject of personal location information in relation to the location-based services the Service provides.
Article 2 (Effect and Amendment) 1. These Terms take effect for users who agree to them at sign-up. 2. Any amendment is announced in the app from 15 days before the effective date, stating the effective date and the reason for the change.
Article 3 (Scope of Location-Based Services) The Service uses personal location information to provide the following. 1. Visit verification (claiming) - confirming that the user is near a tourist site in order to verify the visit and apply it to the team score. 2. Real-time user matching (duels) - detecting nearby users of other teams so that a duel can be requested. 3. A preliminary visit check for site missions (photos and reviews) - separate from item 1, this only confirms proximity to the site in order to open mission submission, and is not applied to the team score. This check is not currently included among the records automatically kept under Article 5.
Article 4 (Use and Retention of Personal Location Information) 1. The Service collects personal location information only while the app is running; it does not collect it in the background. 2. Collected coordinates are held in server memory as a single most-recent entry per user for the purposes in Article 3, and are not accumulated into a movement trail or a visit history; a new coordinate overwrites the previous one. 3. Stored coordinates are deleted immediately when the user disconnects from the app. Coordinates left behind by an abnormal disconnection are deleted automatically within at most 15 minutes of the last update. They are also deleted immediately upon account deletion. 4. Coordinates are not stored in the database. 5. The result of the visit confirmation in Article 3(3) is kept not as coordinates but as the site identifier and that site's district code, for 24 hours, after which it is deleted automatically. Because it records whether a mission may still be submitted, it survives disconnection from the app, unlike the coordinates in paragraphs 2 and 3; it is deleted immediately upon account deletion. 6. Under Article 16(2) of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, a record of the use and provision of personal location information is created automatically, as set out in Article 5. 7. The personal location information covered by this Article is limited to coordinates collected for the purposes in Article 3 and the visit confirmations in paragraph 5; it does not include location data that a capturing device itself records in a mission photo file. Even if such data remains in a photo file, the Service does not extract or use it, and the retention and deletion of that file are governed separately by the Privacy Policy.
Article 5 (Basis and Period for Retaining Use Records) 1. Each time personal location information is used for the purposes in Article 3(1) or (2), the Service automatically records: - Subject: the user identifier - Acquisition path: GPS/network positioning on the user's device (no external location information provider is involved) - Service category: visit verification or real-time user matching - Time of use 2. These records do not contain coordinates. 3. The records are retained for six months and then deleted; they are kept until the end of that period even if the account is deleted.
Article 6 (Provision to Third Parties) The Service does not provide personal location information to third parties. The user's location is not transmitted to the Google Maps SDK used to render the map view either; the current-location marker on the map is drawn by the app itself.
Article 7 (Rights of the Subject of Personal Location Information) 1. A user may withdraw consent to the use of personal location information at any time, by revoking location permission on the device or by deleting their account. 2. A user may request access to, or notification of, the records of use and provision of personal location information, and may request correction of any error. 3. The Service takes the necessary measures without delay upon receiving such a request. 4. Revoking location permission makes the services in Article 3 unavailable; other features remain usable.
Article 8 (Children Under 14) The Service does not accept sign-ups from children under the age of 14 and therefore does not process personal location information on the basis of a legal representative's consent.
Article 9 (Damages and Dispute Resolution) 1. Where the Service causes damage to a user by violating the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information, the user may claim damages. 2. Disputes concerning location information may be submitted for mediation under the procedures prescribed by applicable law.
Article 10 (Provider Information and Location Information Manager) 1. The location-based service provider is as follows. - Business name: 비테리토리 (B-territory) - Representative: 배승환 (Bae Seung-hwan) - Address: 301, 70 Seunghak-ro 17beon-gil, Saha-gu, Busan, Republic of Korea - Telephone: +82 10-3391-5816 - Location-based service business filing number: 1431 2. The representative also serves as the Location Information Manager. 3. Enquiries concerning the processing of location information are received at B.territory123@gmail.com.
