Privacy Policy
This is a translation for convenience. If it differs from the Korean original, the Korean version applies.
Kurve (the "Service") handles personal information with care and complies with Korea's Personal Information Protection Act and related laws. Effective: October 14, 2026
1. Information we process
The Service has no sign-up or login and does not collect information that identifies you. The following may still be processed:
- Information generated automatically while running the Service: IP address, browser details, access time and requested URL (for security and error analysis, processed through Cloudflare infrastructure)
- Information you enter when adding a channel or requesting removal: channel URL, contact email (optional) and your message
- Visit statistics: pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and referrer, collected by Google Analytics with cookies (see section 4)
- Information stored in your browser: pinned and recently viewed channels (kept only in your browser's localStorage and never sent to our servers)
2. Use of YouTube API Services and the CHZZK Open API
The Service uses YouTube API Services to display public information about YouTube channels and videos. The Service does not access your YouTube account. YouTube's data processing is governed by the Google Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy).
CHZZK statistics are built from public broadcast information received through NAVER's CHZZK Open API. The Service does not access your NAVER account.
3. Channel information
Channel names, descriptions, profile images, subscriber and view counts shown on the Service are information YouTube makes public. Statistics are kept for the last 28 days only, and when a channel is deleted or made private, we delete it at the next refresh. Channel owners can request deletion and a block on re-collection through a removal request.
CHZZK channel names, profile images, follower counts and broadcast records (title, category, viewer counts) are information CHZZK makes public. Broadcast records are kept for 90 days, and CHZZK channel owners can request deletion and a block on re-collection by emailing hello@kurve.gg.
4. Cookies and third parties
The Service uses Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, to measure visits. Google Analytics uses cookies (such as _ga) to collect the pages you visit, your approximate location, device and browser type, and referrer. This information is sent to and processed on Google servers, including in the United States. We do not send information that directly identifies you, such as your name or contact details. It is kept according to the Google Analytics data retention setting (2 months by default).
You can refuse this by blocking cookies in your browser or installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout); the Service works the same either way.
Ads from Google AdSense, provided by Google LLC, may appear on the Service. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the Service or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to the Service and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings (https://myadcenter.google.com/). You can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
YouTube profile images and video thumbnails load directly from YouTube servers, and CHZZK profile images and stream thumbnails from NAVER servers, so those companies may receive your connection information.
5. Retention
Submission and removal request records are deleted one year after they are handled. Access logs are kept according to our infrastructure provider's policy.
