PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy
센티브인컴 ("we") operates ChatAllo and protects your personal information in line with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws. If the Korean and English versions differ, the Korean version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
1. What we process and why
| Category | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-up and login | Email, sign-up method (email, Google, Kakao), display name, authentication identifier, sign-up and login times | Identify you, log you in, manage your account, prevent abuse |
| Using the Service | Questions and AI answers, text of attached documents, projects and instructions, generated or edited images, canvas, member memory (if enabled), photos attached in chat (used only to answer, not stored), voice input recordings (deleted as soon as they are transcribed), display settings and language | Provide the AI features you request; store, search and export your history |
| Usage | Request time, model used, allowance records, processing state and cost | Calculate plan allowances, apply limits, prevent duplicate requests |
| Payments | Subscription, payment and refund records; payment provider customer, transaction and subscription IDs; amount, currency, date | Provide subscriptions, handle refunds and disputes, keep statutory transaction records. Card details are passed to the payment gateway only at the moment of payment and never stored; we keep only a billing key for renewals. |
| Optional updates | Your channel and purpose choices and their history; phone number (only if you enter and verify it) | Send the updates you chose; keep proof of consent and withdrawal |
| Support | Your support emails | Respond to you |
| Automatic | Access logs, browser and device information, error logs | Security and troubleshooting |
Phone numbers, member memory and optional updates are processed only if you choose them. We do not use your chats for advertising or AI training.
2. Retention and deletion
When you confirm account closure, access ends immediately and your subscription is cancelled. Personal information is then deleted without delay so that it cannot be recovered, except for the records below that Korean law requires us to keep.
| Record | Legal basis | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts and withdrawal of offers | Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce | 5 years |
| Payments and supply of goods or services | Same Act | 5 years |
| Consumer complaints and disputes | Same Act | 3 years |
| Labelling and advertising | Same Act | 6 months |
- Retained records contain only the minimum fields, are kept separately from service data, and are deleted when the period ends. Chats, documents, images and memory are not retained.
- Files are removed through the storage provider's delete function and the deletion is verified.
- Data remaining in encrypted backups is access-restricted and destroyed after 30 days. If a backup is ever restored, deletions are re-applied first.
- Chats, documents and images you delete disappear from the Service immediately; usage records needed for billing may remain without the content.
3. Sharing with third parties
We do not provide your personal information to third parties, except where required by law or requested by authorities through lawful procedures. Card details you enter at checkout (card number, expiry, date of birth and the first two PIN digits) pass through our server over an encrypted connection to PortOne and the payment gateway (NHN KCP or KG Inicis) and are never stored by us. Renewals use only the billing key the gateway issues.
4. Processors and international transfers
We use the processors below to run the Service; some process data outside Korea. Transfers happen over encrypted connections when you use the Service.

5. Your rights
- You can ask to access, correct, delete or stop processing your information, and withdraw consent, at any time.

6. Security
Database permissions restrict member data to its owner, and operator access is separated. Server secrets are kept apart from code and all traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. The database and files are backed up in encrypted form with regular restore tests. Generated images are stored in private storage.
7. Cookies and browser storage
We use browser storage to keep you logged in and remember display settings. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can clear this storage in your browser; you will then need to log in again.
