Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how KimchiBoy (thekimchiboy.com) collects, uses and shares information when you visit our website or place an order in our store.
1. Information We Collect From Site Visitors
If you’re just browsing our content (not placing an order), we do not collect personal information directly. Our website uses standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that may collect anonymised data including:
- Pages visited and time spent on pages
- General geographic location (country/city level)
- Browser type and device type
- Referring website
This data is anonymised and used solely to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content.
2. Information We Collect If You Place an Order
If you buy something from our store, this is different: we do collect real personal information, because it’s needed to actually deliver your order. This includes your name, delivery address, email address, and order details. Payment itself is handled by PayPal — we do not see or store your full card or PayPal account details ourselves; PayPal processes that directly under its own privacy policy.
Your order and delivery details are shared with our fulfillment supplier only to the extent needed to ship your order to you. We keep order records for as long as reasonably needed for accounting, support, and legal record-keeping purposes.
3. Cookies
Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience, and our store uses cookies that are technically necessary for the shopping cart and checkout to function. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings at any time. Third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics and PayPal) may also set their own cookies.
4. Affiliate Links
KimchiBoy participates in affiliate programmes including the Amazon Associates Programme and the Holafly affiliate programme via Impact. This means we earn a small commission when you purchase a product through a link on our site, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely use or believe in.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website contains links to third-party websites (Amazon, Holafly, etc.), and our store relies on PayPal for payment processing and a fulfillment supplier for order shipping. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
6. Pinterest Integration
KimchiBoy uses the Pinterest API to publish travel content and photos to our Pinterest account. We do not collect or store any Pinterest user data. The integration is used solely to post our own content.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties. Order data is shared only with PayPal (for payment) and our fulfillment supplier (for shipping) — the minimum needed to fulfill your order. Anonymised analytics data may be processed by Google Analytics under their own privacy policy.
8. Your Rights
You can ask us what order/personal data we hold about you, request a correction, or ask us to delete it (subject to what we’re legally required to retain for accounting purposes) by emailing us at the address below.
9. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
