Gcore's Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using Gcore located at www.gcore.co.kr Web site ("Gcore" or "Web site").

By using or accessing Gcore, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions or concerns regarding this policy, you should contact at gcore@gcore.co.kr.

About Gcore and the Information We Collect
Gcore is an internet social networking service. When you register for Gcore, you provide us with certain "Personal Information", such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. As part of the registration process, each Gcore Member creates his or her own profile, which contains the Personal Information that the Member chooses to include ("Member Information"). When you create your profile, you have the option of disclosing items within your profile to the "Public", to "Friends" or to keep it private. You can update your settings at any time. If you choose to disclose items to the "Public", the information will be viewable by all visitors to the Gcore Web site. If you choose to disclose items to "Friends", the items will be viewable only by those Gcore Members who you have invited to be your Friends. If you choose the "Privacy" setting, the items will not be viewable by others. You should be aware that Member Information that is "Public" can be read, collected, or used by any visitors to the Web site, and information that is "Friends" can be read, collected or used by Friends. Therefore such information could be used improperly to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise. Gcore is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to disclose or for the misuse of such information by Members or third parties. Any misuse or improper collection of Member Information provided is a violation of the Gcore Terms of Service and should be reported to gcore@gcore.co.kr.

Each time you visit Gcore, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. We also use cookies to keep track of your activities on the Web site and enhance your experience on the Web site. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Gcore. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our site and you may be required to re-enter your password more frequently during a session. We, or third parties acting on our behalf, may use web beacons on our site, in our e-mails, in our advertisements on other sites, or in our advertisements in others' e-mails. A web beacon is an electronic image that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page or e-mail. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our site and our advertising in various ways, for example, by counting the number of individuals who visit our site from a particular advertisement or make a purchase from our site after viewing a particular advertisement as well as by telling us when a web page is viewed and providing a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of our e-mail campaigns, for example, by counting the number of individuals who open or act upon an e-mail message, determining when an e-mail message is opened and determining how many times an e-mail is forwarded.
