Privacy Policy

Overview

Korea Tailwind (koreatailwind.com) is a free travel guide for foreign visitors to Korea. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you visit this site. We keep it simple: we don't sell your data, we don't run advertising networks, and we don't handle any bookings or payments on your behalf.

Analytics — PostHog

We use PostHog to understand how visitors use this site. PostHog collects standard analytics data including pages visited, referrer URLs, browser type, approximate geographic location (country/region level), and which links you click — including affiliate links.

This data is used solely to improve the site. We do not use it for ad targeting or sell it to third parties.

PostHog may set cookies or use local storage to track sessions. You can opt out of analytics tracking by enabling the "Do Not Track" setting in your browser, or by using a content blocker. For more information, see PostHog's privacy policy at posthog.com/privacy.

Affiliate Links & Disclosures

This site contains affiliate links to third-party platforms including Klook, Trip.com, and Airalo. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate commissions help fund the maintenance of this free guide. Our editorial recommendations are not influenced by affiliate relationships — we only recommend platforms we believe are genuinely useful for foreign visitors.

All affiliate links are clearly used in context (e.g., "Book on Klook →"). We are transparent about which links are affiliate links.

No Bookings or Payments Handled

Korea Tailwind is a guide site only. We do not sell tickets, process payments, or manage bookings of any kind. All transactions happen directly between you and the third-party platforms we link to (Klook, Trip.com, Airalo, etc.).

If you have a problem with a booking, you should contact the platform where you made the purchase. We have no access to your booking details, payment information, or account data on those platforms.

External Links

This site links to external websites including booking platforms, official train operators, and other travel resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information.

External links open in a new tab and are used for reference and affiliate purposes only.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:

1. Analytics — PostHog uses cookies to track session data as described above. 2. Functionality — no other first-party cookies are set by this site.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use this site.

Data Retention

Analytics data collected via PostHog is retained according to PostHog's standard retention policy. We do not store any personal data ourselves — this site has no user accounts, no login system, and no database of visitor records.

If you submit your email address via our newsletter form (powered by a third-party service), your email is stored by that service provider and used only to send the newsletter you signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
