Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

Finology ("we," "us," or "our") operates stockworldcup.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information you provide when using our platform. We comply with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and applicable international data protection standards.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when creating an account, participating in competitions, or contacting us. This includes your name, email address, and competition activity data. We also collect standard usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and session duration through analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Create and manage your account and competition participation
  • Display your results on competition leaderboards (username only — never your full name)
  • Respond to support requests and inquiries
  • Send platform updates and competition announcements (you can opt out at any time)
  • Analyze platform usage to improve our services
  • Comply with legal obligations under Korean law

3. Leaderboard and Public Information

Competition results are published publicly on our leaderboard using your chosen username. Your real name, email address, and account details are never visible to other users. You may update your username at any time from your account settings.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by Korean financial services regulations or applicable law.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use functional cookies required to operate the platform and analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our site. You can manage your cookie preferences through the banner that appears when you first visit our platform. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers who process it on our behalf (such as hosting and analytics providers) under strict data processing agreements, and when required by Korean law or a valid legal process.

7. Your Rights

Under PIPA, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 10 business days.

8. International Users

Finology is operated from Seoul, Korea. If you access our platform from outside Korea, your data is transferred to and processed in Korea. By using our platform, you consent to this transfer in accordance with your local data protection laws.

9. Children

Our platform is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that a minor has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email and update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
