The JBNC collects minimum personal information when a customer becomes a member. The information collected by the JBNC is used only for provision of its services not for any other purposes. In addition, we use the personal information provided by customers to develop better services so that the customers may receive the services that they request.
• What Information Is Collected and How It Is Collected
Prerequisite personal information collected by the JBNC includes ID, password, name, resident registration number, phone number, address, and email address, as such information is required to ensure that customers receive our customized services such as community or customer consultation. The collected personal information is entered online upon becoming a member. The JBNC has a separate process for customers to select either the [I agree] button or the [I do not agree] button, and a click on the [I agree] button is regarded as consenting to collect the personal information.
• How Long Personal Information Is Kept and Used
The JBNC keeps all information provided by customers as long as they remain a member and the services are provided; however, if a customer makes a request to terminate membership, the customer’s personal information is deleted from storage and shall not be viewed or used in any way.
• How Personal Information Is Viewed or Revised and How the Customers Can Exercise Right to Withdraw Consent
Customers may view or revise personal information that they provide upon joining at any time or withdraw their consent to the provision of personal information. For viewing or any revisions, one must first log in using an ID and password and go to the [MODIFY] menu placed at the top of the website. If a customer wishes to withdraw consent to providing personal information and delete the information by terminating his/her membership, the customer can go to the [MODIFY] menu and click the [Membership Withdrawal] button. The JBNC immediately takes necessary action after checking the authenticity of membership termination and destroys the personal information so that it cannot be used in any way.
• In the Case of Provision of Personal Information, Who Receives What Information and for What Purpose?
The JBNC does not use personal information of a user for any other purposes, or does not provide personal information to other individuals, companies or organizations. To provide a better service, however, the JBNC may share personal information of customers with partner companies. In this case, the JBNC shall gain consent from customers for sharing information about who the partner companies are, what kind of information is required, and how it is protected and managed. The personal information shall not be shared if customers do not agree, except for a case where the information is provided for calculation of charge, statistical purpose, academic study, or market survey as legally defined.
• Technical and Administrative Countermeasures for Protection of Personal Information
The JBNC makes its utmost effort to safely protect and manage personal information of customers. The JBNC has put multiple technical and administrative measures in place to guard personal information of customers. Customers’ personal information is thoroughly protected by authorization and passwords, and crucial information is separately protected with additional security functions, such as encryption of files or transmitted data, or the use of a file lock function. Additionally, the latest virus-protection program is in place to prevent personal information from being violated, and an intrusion prevention system is used to control unauthorized access from outside. We are also backing up data on a regular basis to prevent personal information from being damaged by system malfunction and make continuing efforts to secure the stability of all of our systems. The JBNC employs the minimum number of employees with access to the personal-information system and engages in frequent training so as to comply with the Privacy Policy. Furthermore, there are internal procedures in place to monitor adequate execution and compliance; the JBNC is also proactive in fixing or making improvements to our systems and protocols.
• Entrusting of Personal Information
The JBNC may entrust personal information of users to an external JBNC specializing in handling of personal information for better service. In this case, the JBNC shall notify users of the fact. In addition, detailed information containing service provider’s compliance with protection of personal information, confidentiality of personal information, not sharing information with a third party, and taking on the responsibility of any liabilities will be available in a written or electronic contract.
-Protection of Personal Information for Children Younger than 14 Years

In order for those under 14 to become a member, they are required to obtain consent from a legal representative (a parent or a guardian).
