Location-Based Services Terms

Effective: 2026-05-13 · Version 2026-05-13

Article 1 (Purpose)

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.

Article 2 (Service Description)

The Company uses location data collected from the user's device to provide the features below. The service does not store personal location data on its servers; it is discarded from memory immediately after a response is generated.

  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).

Article 3 (Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Location Data)

The Company collects personal location data only when the user grants location permission in the mobile app or explicitly uses a location feature. Users can stop collection and use at any time by changing the device location permission, and doing so does not affect basic use of the service.

Article 4 (Data Collected and Retention Period)

  1. Data collected: GPS- or Wi-Fi-based latitude/longitude coordinates (processed separately from user identifiers).
  2. Collection method: collected via the device OS API only at the moment of the user's explicit request.
  3. Retention period: none. Data is discarded immediately after the response is generated.
  4. No secondary use: never used for advertising, marketing, or profiling.

Article 5 (Provision to Third Parties)

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.

Article 6 (Destruction Procedure and Method)

The Company discards in-memory location data immediately after a response is generated and leaves no location coordinates in storage, logs, or backups. Destruction of data passed to contracted AI providers follows each provider's data-processing policy (training opt-out channel).

Article 7 (Users' Rights)

  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.

Article 8 (Rights of Guardians of Children Aged 8 or Under)

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.

Article 9 (Damages)

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.

Article 10 (Dispute Resolution and Location Data Manager)

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.

Addendum

These Terms take effect on 2026-05-13.
