Privacy Policy
Effective as of October 27, 2026
Gaia Labs Co. (the "Company") processes personal information lawfully and manages it securely in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea and related laws. Under Article 30 of that Act, we publish this Privacy Policy to explain how personal information is processed and protected, and to handle related concerns promptly. This policy applies to all websites and applications for all devices (each, an "Application" or "Website") provided by Gaia Labs Co.
1. Purpose of Processing
We process personal information only for the following purpose and will not use it for any other purpose. If the purpose changes, we will obtain separate consent as required by Article 18 of the Act.
- Handling adoption inquiries: verifying the inquirer, reviewing the inquiry, contacting and replying to the inquirer, and notifying the outcome
2. Personal Information We Process
We process only the minimum personal information needed for the purpose above, and always with the data subject's consent (Article 15(1)(1) of the Act).
- Required: clinic or hospital name, contact person's name, phone number, solution of interest, inquiry message
- Optional: email address
- Generated or collected automatically when you submit an inquiry: language used, the page path the inquiry was sent from, and IP address (to prevent excessive requests and spam)
Please do not enter patient information, resident registration numbers, or other unnecessary or sensitive personal information in the message field.
3. Retention Period
We retain personal information only within the period required by law or the period consented to at collection.
- Adoption inquiry information: retained for up to one year after the inquiry is resolved, then destroyed. If you ask us to delete it, we will destroy it without delay.
- Where an investigation or inquiry into a violation of law is in progress, the information is retained until it ends.
4. Destruction Procedure and Method
When personal information is no longer needed, for example because the retention period has expired or its purpose has been fulfilled, we destroy it without delay. If the law requires us to keep it, we store and manage it separately from other personal information.
- Procedure: information subject to destruction is selected and destroyed with the approval of the Data Protection Officer.
- Method: electronic files are destroyed so that they cannot be restored; paper records are shredded or incinerated.
5. Provision to Third Parties and Outsourcing
The Company outsources personal information processing as follows. Under Article 26 of the Act, our outsourcing contracts prohibit processing for any purpose other than the outsourced work, require technical and administrative safeguards, restrict sub-outsourcing, and we supervise the processor.
- Processor: Google LLC (Google Cloud Platform) / Outsourced work: providing cloud infrastructure for operating the service, and storing personal information
We do not provide personal information to third parties except as permitted by Articles 17 and 18 of the Act, such as with consent or where the law specifically provides. We do not currently provide personal information to any third party.
