Member privacy and consent notice

Information collected and purposes

Required information: name (member identification), company (identifying the inquiring company and product/quotation consultations), phone (inquiry confirmation and business contact), country (country-specific product and contact guidance), and verified primary email (account verification and inquiry replies). We also process the internal member code, registration/verification times and consent history. ID registration additionally collects a login ID. Passwords are stored as hashes, not plaintext.

A country estimated from your connection IP may be preselected. It does not establish nationality and can be changed to your actual country/region. Select it manually if it cannot be determined.

Secure cookies maintain sign-in sessions. Security information including connection IP is processed to limit verification requests and protect accounts; IP identifiers used for security limits are hashed. Collected information is not used for advertising or promotion without separate consent.

Link Google account

Continue with Google uses the account identifier, email, name and email verification status supplied by Google. The identifier is stored linked to your member account; the email confirms the Google connection and the name is a suggested signup value. SPECO does not receive your Google password or permanently store Google authentication tokens.

First-time Google registration also requires a separate 4-digit code sent to your primary contact email for inquiry replies. This email may differ from Google email. Existing accounts are not automatically linked by matching email: sign in first and explicitly link the account.

Inquiries and chatbot services

Your verified primary email identifies you for inquiries and replies. Chatbot account integration becomes available after connection; when enabled, your verified primary email and internal member identity are sent to the SPECO chatbot server. Primary email changes also require inquiry/chat synchronization to be connected.

MY SPECO displays inquiry and chat history for the past six months. This is a display limit, not a promise to delete every record after six months. Inquiry/chat retention is managed separately from member profile data.

Third-party disclosure and processing providers

SPECO processes personal information within the stated purposes and scope and does not disclose or leak it without authorization. Information is not supplied to third parties without consent or a legal basis. Where separate consent is required, the recipient, purpose, information and retention period are disclosed before consent is obtained.

If personal-information processing is outsourced to operate the service, providers and tasks are disclosed under applicable law, with required contracts, management and supervision. Google linking is the separate feature described above. This notice is not blanket consent to arbitrary external disclosure or overseas transfer.

Retention and deletion

Member information is retained while the account is maintained. It is destroyed without delay when no longer needed after an account withdrawal/deletion request is processed or its purpose is fulfilled. Information that must be retained by law is stored separately for the required items and period, then destroyed when that obligation ends. Retention needs and deletion are reviewed under applicable law.

The six-month viewing limit concerns the inquiries/chats shown on screen. It is not a uniform six-month retention or deletion period for all records.

Password recovery verifies your identity with a code sent to your registered primary email. A temporary password valid for 15 minutes is shown once, and must be changed after the next sign-in. Passwords are stored as hashes, not plaintext.

Safeguards and applicable law

Collection, use, retention, deletion and exercise of rights follow this notice and applicable laws, including the Republic of Korea Personal Information Protection Act. Only information necessary for the purpose is processed. Safeguards include access restrictions, password hashing and secure communications against loss, theft, disclosure, alteration or damage.

Access, correction, deletion, restriction and withdrawal of consent

Members can edit their name, company, phone, country and password in MY SPECO. Requests to access, correct or delete information, restrict processing, withdraw consent, or delete account/Google-link information can be submitted through SPECO company contacts. After verifying you or your authorized representative, we process the request under applicable law and inform you of the result. If legal restrictions or retention duties apply, we explain the grounds and scope of processing.

Right to decline and limitations

You may decline consent to collection and use. Without consent to required information, registration and saving that member information are restricted. This notice does not replace consent to advertising or additional third-party disclosure.
