Location-Based Services Terms

These Terms govern the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of Sutory (the "Company") and its users in connection with the location-based services (the "LBS") provided by the Company.

The Company provides the following features using location data collected from the user’s device. The Company does not retain precise GPS coordinates; only the city and region names and approximate coordinates truncated to roughly 1 km are stored on the user’s account.

1. Nearby recommendations (lunch menus, weather, places around you, etc.).
2. AI conversations with location context (e.g., "Any good cafés nearby?").
3. Time- and location-based notifications (only when the user turns them on).

The Company collects personal location data when, with location permission granted in the mobile app, (i) the app is launched or reopened (at most once every 30 minutes) and (ii) the user uses a location feature. Users may stop collection and use at any time by changing the device location permission, and doing so does not affect basic use of the service.

1. Data collected: city and region names and approximate latitude/longitude coordinates (truncated to two decimal places, about 1 km). They are stored linked to the user account.
2. Method of collection: via the device OS API when the app is launched or reopened (at most once every 30 minutes) and when the user uses a location feature.
3. Retention period: only the most recent reading is kept on the account and is overwritten by each new reading. It is deleted together with the account when the user closes it (permanently after the 30-day grace period).
4. No secondary use: never used for advertising, marketing, or profiling.

The Company does not provide personal location data to third parties without the user's prior consent. Where user input containing location context is passed to a contracted AI provider to generate a response, that processing follows the outsourced-processing clause and the training opt-out principle of the Privacy Policy.

Each new reading overwrites the previous value, and location data is deleted together with the account when the user closes it (unrecoverable after the 30-day grace period). Precise GPS coordinates are never retained in the first place. Destruction of data passed to entrusted AI providers follows that provider’s data-processing policy (training opt-out channel).

1. Users may request access to, or notification of, records confirming the collection, use, and provision of their personal location data.
2. Users may request a temporary suspension of the collection, use, or provision of their personal location data; the Company cannot refuse and will take the necessary technical measures.
3. Users may withdraw all or part of their consent to the collection, use, and provision of their personal location data.

The service does not allow sign-ups by anyone under 14, and therefore does not collect or use personal location data of children aged 8 or under.

If a user suffers damage due to the Company's violation of Articles 15 through 26 of the Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information (Korea), the user may claim damages from the Company, and the Company cannot be exempted from liability unless it proves the absence of intent or negligence.

Disputes related to these Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. The location data manager is the Company's privacy officer (concurrent role); contact details are as posted in the Privacy Policy.

These Terms take effect on 2026-05-13.
