This is an English translation of the Korean Privacy Policy. If the two versions differ, the Korean version prevails.
BAROG CLINIC (the "Clinic") handles the personal information of visitors to this website with care and complies with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act and Medical Service Act.
1. What this website collects
This website has no membership sign-up or consultation request form. It therefore does not directly receive or store information such as your name or contact details.
The following information is generated and collected automatically:
- Access logs, browser type, device information and IP address
- Cookies for analysing website use
You can refuse cookies in your browser settings. Refusing cookies does not affect your use of this website.
2. Information shared through consultation channels
Consultations take place on external channels such as WhatsApp and Instagram. The name, contact details, skin condition, photos and other information you share in a conversation reach the Clinic through that provider's servers. Each channel's handling of personal information follows the provider's own policy.
The Clinic uses the information it receives only to answer your consultation and confirm bookings.
3. Health information
Health information such as skin condition, medical history and current medication is sensitive information under the Korean Personal Information Protection Act. We process sensitive information only after obtaining separate consent, apart from general personal information. You may refuse consent; in that case the scope of consultation may be limited.
4. Purposes of use
- Answering consultations and confirming bookings
- Treatment and aftercare after your visit
- Preparing and keeping medical records as required by law
We do not use your information for any other purpose, and will obtain separate consent if the purpose changes.
5. Retention period
- Consultation conversations: deleted without delay after the consultation ends
- Medical records: kept for the period required by Article 22 of the Medical Service Act and its Enforcement Rules
- Access logs: kept for the period required by the Protection of Communications Secrets Act
6. Provision to third parties
We do not provide your information to third parties except where required by law or with your consent.
7. Transfer abroad
Information of people living outside Korea is stored on servers in Korea. The servers of the messenger provider you use for consultation may also be located outside Korea. You may refuse such transfer abroad; in that case consultation through that channel will be limited.
8. Your rights
You may request access to, correction, deletion or suspension of processing of your personal information at any time. Please contact us using the details below and we will act without delay. Deletion of medical records that we are required to keep under the Medical Service Act may be limited.
9. Security measures
We manage personal information through access control, retention of access logs and training of staff who handle personal information.
