Privacy Policy
One Meal Trip (the “Site”) complies with the Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of Korea, and makes every effort to protect users’ personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled in connection with the operation of the Site services (https://muktrip.com).
1. Who we are
Our website address is https://muktrip.com .
We are an independent developer operating a community site.

2. Scope and basic principles
This Policy applies when personal information is processed in the course of operating the Site, including providing content (restaurant/travel information), managing contributor writing/editing permissions, security, and abuse prevention.
The Site processes only the minimum personal information necessary to provide services and does not use or provide it for purposes other than those stated. Exceptions apply when required by law or with the data subject’s consent.
In this Policy, “personal information” means information about a living individual that can identify a person, or can be readily combined with other information to identify a person. (Definitions follow relevant laws and regulations.)
3. Membership and account operations (general visitors)
The Site does not provide public sign-up for general visitors. “Contributor/author” accounts with posting permissions are issued manually only to individuals selected by the operator.
Contributor accounts are operated with minimal information for operational purposes (content creation/editing permission management, security, and abuse prevention). Detailed procedures for issuing and operating accounts follow the operational policy/standards.
Notice: do not provide sensitive or unnecessary personal information
Important: Contributors must not enter sensitive or unnecessary personal information such as resident registration number, contact details, or account information when writing posts or comments.
If such information is found to be posted, the operator may take necessary measures to protect the data subject, such as making it private, deleting it, or requesting edits.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

10. Purposes of processing
The Site processes personal information for the following purposes.
- Provide content (restaurants/travel) information and operate the Site

- Ensure service stability, incident response, and security/abuse prevention
- Account security (login persistence), password resets, operational notices (if email is provided and stored)

The Site does not use personal information beyond the above purposes. If a change in purpose is necessary, we will obtain separate consent or take required measures in accordance with relevant laws.
11. Data retention period
The Site destroys personal information without delay once the processing purpose is achieved. However, if retention is required by applicable laws, it may be retained for the period prescribed by those laws.
Retention related to WordPress default behavior (comments/users)
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained for a long period (e.g., indefinitely). This may be so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
- For users (contributors/authors) registered on the website, the personal information provided in their user profile may also be stored. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Note: The Site does not provide general visitor sign-ups, and contributor accounts are issued manually by the operator. The actual retention scope and period may be adjusted according to operational policy and security/legal requirements.
Log/security record retention
- Access/error/security logs: retained for one year for security and incident response, then destroyed
- Retention required by law: retained for the period prescribed by relevant laws
Destruction procedures and methods
- Destruction procedure: after achieving the purpose, determine whether to destroy according to internal policy and relevant laws, then destroy.
- Destruction method: electronic files are deleted in a non-recoverable manner; printouts are shredded or incinerated.
