This is an English summary of our 개인정보 처리방침. If the two differ, the Korean version prevails.

1Who we are
Maninpost (maninpost.com) is a free platform where store owners in Korea list their businesses for transfer and deal with buyers directly, without brokers. We also run a community board for store owners. We process personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea.
2What we collect and why
| Purpose | Information | Kept until |
|---|---|---|
| Email sign-up | Email address (required) | You delete your account |
| Social login sign-up (Kakao, Naver, Google) |
An internal ID from the social service (required) | You delete your account |
| Listing a store | Phone number, IP address (required) | The listing is deleted |
| Saved listings and notification inbox | Listings you saved, inbox records | You delete your account |
| New listing alerts | Browser push subscription, alert conditions (area, business type, price), delivery log; linked to your account if you were logged in | You unsubscribe or the browser stops accepting alerts |
| Community posts | The posts and comments you write | You delete them |
| Abuse prevention and dispute handling | Reported phone numbers, IP addresses of reporters and reported users | 3 years from the report |
| Access logs | IP address, usage records | 3 months |
Store names are used only to verify that a listing is real and are never shown publicly. Information that cannot identify a person, such as area, business type, size and price, may be kept for statistics after a listing ends.
3Information shown publicly
When you list a store, your phone number and address are shown on the listing page so buyers can contact you directly. You choose whether to show the full address or only the city and district; if you hide it, the map is not shown either. Visitors see your phone number only after confirming the safety notice. Everything stops being shown when the listing ends or is deleted, although copies kept by search engines are outside our control.
