Privacy Notice
This document summarizes Re:PAGE's privacy practices in English and details the procedure by which data subjects — particularly those located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other GDPR-equivalent jurisdictions — may exercise their rights.
It is a companion to the Korean «Re:PAGE 개인정보처리방침», which is the controlling version.
1. Who We Are
Re:PAGE is a weekly editorial magazine operated by Re:B Studios (the "Company"). Re:B Studios is the data controller for personal information processed in connection with the Re:PAGE service.
· Magazine: Re:PAGE — https://www.repage.co.kr
· Publisher: Re:B Studios (Republic of Korea)

2. What Personal Data We Collect
Re:PAGE does not require account registration to read content. We automatically collect the following information for service operation and analytics:
| Category | Items | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Access logs | IP address, access timestamp, browser type, OS, referrer URL | Web server logs |
| Analytics data | Page views, time on page, device type, traffic source | Analytics tools |
| Cookies | Anonymous identifiers for session and analytics | Browser cookies |
We do not currently collect information that you actively submit (such as registration data or newsletter subscriptions). If we introduce such features in the future, we will update this Notice in advance.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases (GDPR Art. 6)
| Purpose | Legal basis under GDPR |
|---|---|
| Delivering the magazine and ensuring service stability | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Aggregated analytics and audience measurement | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Preventing abuse and improving the service | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Compliance with applicable law | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Optional cookies (non-essential analytics) | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — where required by local law |
We do not use your personal data (IP, access logs, cookies, etc.) to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any artificial intelligence model, nor do we transfer such data to third parties for that purpose. (Note: Re:PAGE's editorial content may be used by AI engines under the separate terms in our Terms of Service Article 5. That permission applies only to copyrighted editorial content — never to reader data.)
4. Retention Periods
| Data | Retention | Basis |

We engage the following processors who handle personal data on our behalf under written agreements requiring appropriate safeguards:
| Processor | Purpose | Location | Safeguards |

6. International Data Transfers
Personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA/UK/Korea, including the United States, where our processors operate. For such transfers, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, supplementary measures where appropriate, and any adequacy decisions in force at the time of transfer.

GDPR Data Subject Rights — At a Glance
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or another jurisdiction that grants equivalent rights, you may exercise the following rights free of charge:
| # | Right | GDPR Article | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Right of access | Art. 15 | Obtain confirmation of whether we process your data, and a copy of it |
| 2 | Right to rectification | Art. 16 | Correct inaccurate or incomplete data |
| 3 | Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") | Art. 17 | Request deletion of your data under certain conditions |
| 4 | Right to restriction of processing | Art. 18 | Limit how we use your data during disputes or verification |
| 5 | Right to data portability | Art. 20 | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format |
| 6 | Right to object | Art. 21 | Object to processing based on legitimate interests |
| 7 | Rights related to automated decision-making | Art. 22 | Not be subject to decisions made solely by automated means (Re:PAGE does not currently engage in such processing) |
| 8 | Right to withdraw consent | Art. 7(3) | Withdraw any consent at any time (where consent is the legal basis) |
| 9 | Right to lodge a complaint | Art. 77 | File a complaint with your local supervisory authority |
How to Submit a GDPR Request
Step 1 — Send your request.
Email contact@rebstudios.com with the subject line: [GDPR Request] <Right type> — <Your name or pseudonym>. Example: [GDPR Request] Erasure — Jane Doe.
Include in the body: (1) the right(s) you wish to exercise; (2) a clear description of your request; (3) your country of residence so we can determine the applicable framework; (4) sufficient information for us to identify the relevant data — typically the IP address(es) and approximate date/time window of your visit(s), since we do not maintain user accounts; (5) your preferred contact channel for our response (email is default).
Step 2 — Identity verification. To protect against unauthorized disclosure, we may ask for additional information to verify your identity. We will use such information only for verification and delete it promptly afterward.
Step 3 — Acknowledgment. We will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days.
Step 4 — Substantive response. We will respond substantively within one (1) month of receipt of a valid request, as required by GDPR Art. 12(3). This period may be extended by up to two additional months for complex or numerous requests, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons within the first month.
Step 5 — Outcome. Our response will confirm that the request has been fulfilled; or state that it is refused in whole or in part, with reasons and information about your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and to seek judicial remedy; or request further clarification.
Step 6 — No fee. Requests are handled free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act only where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive (GDPR Art. 12(5)).
Practical Limitations, Children & Automated Decisions
Because Re:PAGE does not require account registration, we may be unable to locate data about a specific individual where no identifying linkage exists in our logs; in such cases, we will document this fact in our response. Aggregated and anonymized analytics data cannot be linked back to an individual and is therefore outside the scope of access/erasure requests.
Children's data. Re:PAGE is not directed at children under the age of 16 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from such children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Automated decision-making. Re:PAGE does not make decisions about individual data subjects through solely automated means that produce legal or similarly significant effects under GDPR Art. 22.
EU/UK representative. Re:B Studios is established in the Republic of Korea. We are currently evaluating whether the offering of services to EEA/UK data subjects triggers the requirement to designate an EU/UK representative under GDPR Art. 27 / UK GDPR Art. 27. Once designated, contact details will be added here.
Privacy at a Glance
We try to keep this simple. Here is what you need to know about Re:PAGE and your data, in plain language.
· No account needed. Read Re:PAGE freely — we do not ask you to sign up.
· What we collect. Standard web logs (IP, browser, page views) and cookies for analytics. Nothing else, for now.
· Why we collect it. To run the magazine, count readers, fix bugs, and prevent abuse.
· What we don't do. We do not sell your data. We do not use your personal data to train AI models. We do not link analytics back to your real identity.
· Cookies. You can turn them off in your browser. Most of the site will still work.
· Your rights. You can ask us to show, correct, or delete your data — including under GDPR if you are in the EU/UK. Email contact@rebstudios.com.
· Where your data goes. Some processors (like Google Analytics) are based outside Korea. We use Standard Contractual Clauses for those transfers.
· AI and our content. Our articles are written by three editors with AI assistance, and we allow AI engines to learn from and cite our articles — but that policy applies only to our published content, never to reader data.
