Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

YoungSsamKorean respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, subscribe to the newsletter, download learning materials, leave a comment, or follow a link to a third-party service.

Information you provide

We may collect information that you choose to provide, including your email address and, if provided, your name when you subscribe or create a member account; newsletter preferences and subscription status; information you include in comments, enquiries, surveys, class waitlists, or registration forms; and information required to provide a resource, class, or service you request.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through comments or general enquiries.

Information collected automatically

This website is hosted by Ghost. Ghost may process technical and account information needed to operate the website, member sign-in, email newsletters, and site security.

We may use first-party, cookie-free analytics to understand how visitors and members interact with the site. When you are signed in as a member, Ghost may record your member ID, membership status, and the posts you view so we can understand which content is useful. This information is used to improve the website and learning content.

Technical information such as browser type, device information, referring pages, approximate location, IP address, and interaction data may also be processed by our service providers when necessary to provide their services, prevent fraud, or maintain security.

How we use information

We may use collected information to deliver newsletters and learning materials you requested; operate member accounts and passwordless sign-in; respond to questions and support requests; provide information about new lessons, podcasts, resources, or classes when you have agreed to receive it; improve content, navigation, and the learning experience; protect the website and prevent spam, fraud, or misuse; and comply with legal obligations.

Email communications

If you subscribe to a YoungSsamKorean newsletter, we may send lessons, resource updates, podcast announcements, and related news. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or changing your membership preferences.

Downloading a resource through an external platform does not automatically subscribe you to the YoungSsamKorean newsletter unless you separately consent to receive marketing emails.

Cookies and similar technologies

Ghost’s native web analytics are designed to operate without cookies. However, embedded content and third-party services may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, local storage, IP addresses, or similar technologies.

These services may include YouTube, Payhip, Google services, social media platforms, payment providers, class or community platforms, and other services linked or embedded on this website.

Where required, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies or personalised advertising technologies. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Google services and advertising

This website may use Google services, including embedded YouTube videos, analytics tools, and Google AdSense. When these services are active, Google and its partners may place or read cookies, use web beacons, process IP addresses, and collect information about visits and interactions to provide, measure, personalise, and protect their services.

Where legally required, visitors will be shown a consent message before personalised advertising technologies are used. Choosing non-personalised ads does not necessarily prevent all data processing needed for security, fraud prevention, measurement, or contextual advertising.

Third-party services and links

This website may link to or embed content from third-party platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Payhip, and class or community providers. If you purchase, register, download, comment, or otherwise interact on another platform, that platform processes your information under its own privacy policy and terms.

YoungSsamKorean does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their policies before providing personal information.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide the requested service, maintain necessary records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or meet legal obligations. Newsletter subscriber information is generally retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to records that must be kept for legal or security purposes.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or objection to the processing of your personal information. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy request, contact YoungSsamKorean through the methods listed on the Contact page and include “Privacy Request” in your message. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Children’s privacy

YoungSsamKorean provides general language-learning content and does not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, please contact us so that we can review and remove it where required.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, tools, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
