Location Information Notice
Revised policy · Announced: 10/09/2026, 17:45:00 · Effective: 10/09/2026, 18:00:00 (Korea time)
Previous policy (Korean) 1 September 2026Changes to account deletion and recovery
The revisions below apply from the effective time shown above. The previous policy applies before that time. Publication alone does not activate account features or count as consent to retain recovery data. The account screen explains whether each feature is available.
- Recovery information is retained for 3 months only if you separately opt in when requesting account deletion.
- If you do not consent, request erasure or reach the end of the retention period, your account information becomes subject to erasure. Report and audit work records with personal information removed are retained.
- The purpose and end-of-retention procedure for encrypted records kept in Korea to prevent deleted accounts from reappearing are explained below.
Review feature policy
Review policy · Announced and effective: 12/09/2026, 18:30:00 (Korea time)
- Location, accuracy and measurement time are checked temporarily so that signed-in users can write reviews only when near the restroom.
- Removing author information disconnects the author and changes the displayed name to “Anonymous”. Ratings and free-text comments remain as service information.
- Review availability is controlled by separate server safety settings. Publishing this policy does not automatically activate reviews.
Profile photo storage policy
Profile photo policy · Announced and effective: 15/09/2026, 04:30:00 (Korea time)
- Kakao photos optionally provided at sign-up, or photos uploaded by users, are converted to a small WebP image and stored in private Cloudflare R2 storage in the United States.
- If you agree to provide your Kakao photo or upload a photo yourself, it is shown as your author photo on public reviews. You can turn this off at any time in My page.
- Public photos may be temporarily cached on Cloudflare CDN for up to 5 minutes for faster display. When a photo is made private, replaced or deleted, public access is blocked and CDN cache deletion is requested.
- You can use account features with the default avatar without providing a profile photo. Publishing this policy does not automatically activate the photo feature.
1. When is location used?
When you press the current-location button, or when the browser requests location permission on your first visit, location is used to find nearby restrooms and calculate straight-line distances. When a signed-in user tries to write a review, a recent location is used again to check proximity to the restroom.
2. Is it stored on the server?
Device GPS coordinates used for ordinary map browsing are not stored on Geupddong servers. They are used only in the browser to center the map and calculate distances. When writing a review, the current location, accuracy and measurement time are sent to the server to check that you are within 150 m of the target restroom, accuracy is 50 m or better, and the measurement is no more than 5 minutes old. Exact current-location coordinates are not saved in the review.
3. Exception: location reports
If you submit a location report yourself, the coordinates and road-name address confirmed on the screen are stored to process your report. A final confirmation screen is provided before submission.
4. Refusing or withdrawing permission
You can still search addresses and places and browse the map if you refuse location permission. You can change the permission at any time through the site settings in your browser’s address bar.
