TOKYO HIGH DENTAL CLINIC
Privacy Policy
Tokyo High Dental Clinic (the "Clinic") establishes and discloses this Privacy Policy in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea. Medical records are managed separately under the Medical Service Act; this policy applies to information collected through this website. In case of any discrepancy, the Korean version prevails.
Effective date : 2026-08-19
1. Information collected and how it is collected
The Clinic collects the following through the quick inquiry form on this website, and separately compiles aggregate visit statistics.
| Type | Items |
|---|---|
| Required | Name, phone number |
| Optional | Inquiry message |
| Generated automatically | Site language, an encrypted identifier derived from the visitor's IP address |
- Information is collected only when the visitor enters it in the inquiry form.
- The IP address itself is never stored. Only an irreversible value is kept, solely to prevent repeated submissions from the same source.
- Aggregate visit statistics are collected to understand how the website is used. Only the date, the page viewed, the device type (mobile or desktop), and the referring website are counted; no information that identifies an individual is stored.
- Cookies are not used for the statistics the Clinic compiles itself. To count daily visitors, the IP address is converted into an irreversible value used for that day only; the value differs on another day for the same visitor, so visitors cannot be tracked across days. It is deleted after 90 days.
- Separately, Google Analytics 4 is used to understand how the website is used. It stores a cookie on the visitor's device and collects the visit date and time, the pages viewed, time on page, device and browser type, approximate location and referring site. Names, phone numbers and inquiry messages are never sent to it. Details are in section 6.
- No advertising tracking tools or visitor profiling are used.
2. Purpose of processing
The information is used only to respond to inquiries and to arrange appointments. It is not used for any other purpose or provided to third parties.
3. Retention period
- Inquiries are kept for six months after the consultation is completed, then deleted without delay.
- Inquiries that have not been completed are deleted six months after they were received.
- Deletion is automatic and no separate copies are retained.
4. Destruction procedure
Personal information past its retention period is deleted from the database in a manner that cannot be recovered. No printed copies are kept.
5. Outsourcing and overseas transfer
The Clinic outsources website operation as follows. Because the processor is located overseas, the details are disclosed pursuant to Article 28-8 of the Personal Information Protection Act.
