Avenvote Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
The Avenvote team in the Republic of Korea (the "Operator") is the controller of personal data on Avenvote (avenvote.com). The Service has no accounts: we never ask for your name, email address or password.
2. Data we process
| When | Data |
|---|---|
| You post a one-line review | Review text, the use you tagged (for example, coding), language, time posted, likes and reports it receives, and a one-way code made from your IP address to limit posts (we don’t store the IP address itself) |
| You like or report a review | Which review and the date, plus a code made the same way so each person counts once |
| You recommend a model | Which model and the date, plus a one-way code made from your IP address so each person counts once a day (we don’t store the IP address itself, and the code changes daily) |
| Bot check when you post | The result of the Cloudflare Turnstile check (Turnstile looks at browser signals to tell people from bots) |
| You visit (automatic) | IP address, browser and device information, access time (server logs for security and abuse prevention) |
| Browser storage | Language, currency and theme settings, whether you closed the intro, models you recommended today, reviews you liked, and a code that lets you delete your own review for 24 hours |
We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, payment or location data. If you email us, we use your address only to reply.
3. Why we use it (legal bases)
- Showing one-line reviews and translating them automatically — performance of a contract (our Terms)
- Preventing spam, bots and abuse, security — our legitimate interests
- Counting recommendations and likes fairly (once per person) — our legitimate interests
- Handling reports and legal requests — legal obligation
- Answering your messages — your request
We do not use or sell personal data for advertising.
4. How long we keep it
- One-line reviews: as long as they are shown on the Service. When you or we delete them, they are removed right away.
- Codes used to limit posts, likes and recommendations: 8 days. After that, only totals remain, with no personal data.
- Moderation and report records: 90 days after resolution
- Access logs: 3 months (required by Korean law)
- Longer if a dispute or legal investigation is ongoing, until it ends.
Expired data is deleted so that it cannot be recovered.
5. Sharing
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except when required by law.
6. Service providers and international transfers
We use the provider below to run the Service. Your data is transferred outside the Republic of Korea in the process.
| Provider | Purpose | Data | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Hosting, server functions and database, security and bot checks (Turnstile), automatic translation and review of reviews (Workers AI) | Access logs, requests, recommendation records, one-line reviews | United States (global data centers) |
Data is sent over encrypted connections whenever you use these features and kept as described in section 4. If you don’t want your data transferred, don’t post reviews; you can still view rankings. For data of users in the European Economic Area, transfers rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Automated review (AI)
Before a review appears, an AI checks it for profanity, hate and sexual content. Flagged reviews are hidden, not deleted, and the Operator checks them. If you disagree with the result, ask us to look at it again through Contact.
8. Cookies and browser storage
We don’t use advertising cookies. We store only what’s needed to remember your settings, the reviews you liked and your own reviews you can still delete (see section 2). You can clear it in your browser settings; your settings will reset. When you post a review, Cloudflare Turnstile runs a short check in your browser to tell people from bots; it is not used for advertising. Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you. Third-party sites you open through official-site links may set their own cookies under their own policies.
9. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or to stop processing it, at any time. Users in the EEA also have the right to data portability and to object. You can delete your own review from the same browser within 24 hours; send other requests to our contact email (include the review’s link). We respond within 10 days (within one month for EEA users).
Users in Korea can also contact the Personal Information Infringement Report Center (118, privacy.kisa.or.kr) or the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (1833-6972, kopico.go.kr). Users in the EEA can lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.
10. Children
You must be at least 16 to post reviews. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.
11. Security
- All connections are encrypted (HTTPS).
- API keys and passwords are kept on the server only, never in pages.
- Access to the database is limited to the fewest people and permissions needed.
