About the guide

Hi, I’m SeoulAslan

I’m from Korea. I lived in Vietnam for six years and in Thailand for a year, so I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere and find that the useful information is in a language you can’t read.

I hike about twice a month. When a guide comes from my own walk, I say so. When it doesn’t, it’s based on official Korean sources.

  • From Korea
  • 6 years in Vietnam, 1 in Thailand
  • Hikes about twice a month

Privacy Policy

Effective October 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit Before You Go Korea (beforeyougokorea.com, the "site"), how it is used, and the choices you have. The site is run by one person, SeoulAslan. "I" and "me" below means the site owner.

Information I collect

  • Messages you send. If you email me, I receive your email address and whatever you write. I use it only to reply and to fix posts you report. I don't add you to a mailing list.
  • Comments. If you leave a comment, your comment and the name or profile you comment with are shown publicly. Comments are handled by Blogger (Google).
  • Log and device data. The site is hosted on Blogger, a Google service. Like most websites, Blogger automatically records standard data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you view.

I do not ask you to create an account, and I do not collect payment details. Bookings made through links on this site happen on the partner's own website.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site and the services it uses (Blogger, Google AdSense, embedded videos and maps, and affiliate partners) may set cookies to keep the site working, measure visits, show ads, and record referrals. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work properly if you do.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. In the EEA and the UK, see www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown. For more on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Analytics

I use Blogger's built-in statistics and Google Analytics to see which pages are read and where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies; the data is reported to me in aggregate and does not tell me who you are. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Affiliate links

Some posts contain affiliate links, for example to Klook and to travel brands through the Travelpayouts network. If you book through one of these links, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The partner uses cookies to record that you came from this site. This site also loads a Travelpayouts script that uses cookies to measure affiliate referrals; it does not show pop-ups or change the content you read. Posts with affiliate links say so at the top. Affiliate income never decides what I recommend.

Embedded content

Posts may include embedded content such as YouTube or TikTok videos and maps. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and that website may collect data about you, set cookies, and track your interaction with it under its own privacy policy.

Video publishing tool (YouTube and TikTok)

I use a small private tool, "Before You Go Korea Uploader", to upload my own short videos to my own YouTube and TikTok accounts. It is not offered to the public, and no other person can sign in to it.

  • What it accesses: only the accounts I sign in with. On YouTube it uses the YouTube API Services with the youtube.upload permission to upload videos and set their title, description and privacy. On TikTok it uses TikTok's Login Kit and Content Posting API to send my videos to my account.
  • What it stores: the sign-in tokens for my own accounts, kept only on my own computer, and the video files and captions I made. It does not collect, store or share data about other YouTube or TikTok users.
  • Sharing: nothing is sold or shared with third parties. Videos are sent only to YouTube or TikTok.
  • YouTube: by using this tool you are bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Access can be removed at any time on the Google security settings page.
  • TikTok: TikTok's handling of data is described in the TikTok Privacy Policy. Access can be removed in the TikTok app under Settings and privacy, Security, Manage app permissions.
  • Deleting data: revoking access as above stops the tool at once. I can delete the stored tokens on request by email.

How long I keep information

I keep emails only as long as needed to answer you and to keep a record of corrections. Ask me and I will delete your messages. Log, analytics, and advertising data are kept by Google under its own retention rules.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict how it is used, and to withdraw consent at any time.

  • EEA, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR): I process data to run and secure the site (legitimate interest), to reply to you (your request), and to show personalized ads only with your consent. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
  • California (CCPA/CPRA): you can ask what personal information is collected and ask for it to be deleted. I do not sell personal information. Advertising cookies set by Google may count as "sharing" under California law; you can opt out with the links in the Advertising section above.

To make a request, email me. I will reply within 30 days.

Where data is processed

Google and other services this site uses may process data in the United States and other countries. They apply their own safeguards for international transfers.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and I do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has sent me personal information, email me and I will delete it.

Links to other sites

Posts link to official and third-party websites. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy. The date at the top shows the current version.
