Photos: The app re-encodes photos before uploading them, so additional information in photos (EXIF), such as where they were taken, does not remain on the server.
Payment methods: Payment method information such as card numbers is processed by the App Store and Google Play; the Company does not receive it.
Sensitive information: The Company does not collect sensitive information. We recommend not entering sensitive details such as health information in free-text action fields.

- Deleted within one day: plan titles, reasons and notes; action notes and records (including locations); cheer messages; chat messages; and the content of posts and reviews. Records left on other members' plans remain, without content, as from a "Deleted member," and to preserve other members' stats (action rate, cheers received, etc.) only the fact that a record existed, its date and counts are kept.

3. Provision to Third Parties
The Company does not provide personal information to third parties without the data subject's consent, except:
- Information the data subject chose to make public: other members can see your name, profile photo, life goal, action slogan and level. A plan and its action records (notes, photos, places, etc.) are visible to the plan's supporters and to the crew and admin of the same group plan, and public plans are visible to all members. You can hide records and reasons in the plan settings. Your email, gender and age are not visible to other members.
- Where required by law.

6. Rights of Data Subjects and How to Exercise Them
- Data subjects may at any time request access to, correction, deletion or suspension of processing of their personal information, or withdraw consent.
- You can view, edit and delete your information directly in [More > Member info] in the app, and download your original photos in [More > Storage]. You can also make a request through the in-app customer inquiry or to customer support (support@btiwoom.com), and the Company will act within 10 days of receiving the request.
- Rights may also be exercised through an agent, who must submit a power of attorney.
- Records kept as required by law (Section 2(3)) cannot be deleted during their retention period.
7. Children Under 14
The Service does not accept sign-ups from children under 14. If we learn that personal information of a child under 14 has been collected, we delete it without delay.
8. Automated Decisions
AI feature results are suggestions for reference only, and the Company does not make decisions affecting members' rights or obligations by AI alone. Crisis-expression detection in customer inquiries is used only to point the member to counseling services and to have staff review the inquiry first; answers are sent only after staff have reviewed them.

- Technical
- Passwords are stored with one-way encryption (Argon2id).

- Login tokens are short-lived and rotated on every use, and the app keeps them only in the device's secure storage (iOS Keychain, Android Keystore).
- Gift links are stored encrypted.
- Photos and files can be viewed only through signed URLs that are valid for a short time.
- Operator accounts use multi-factor authentication and access control.
- Personal information is masked on operator screens.
- Physical: Data is stored in access-controlled cloud data centers (AWS Seoul region).
10. Automatic Collection Tools
