After the applicable retention period has expired, we will either delete or anonymize your personal information in a manner that prevents its identification or association with you, unless further retention is required under the law. If you have any questions or concerns about the retention of your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

Given that personal information is proprietary to individual users and privacy concerns vary, you have the autonomy to make privacy-related decisions. You may modify, supplement or amend certain details in your account or profile through your account settings.

In connection with what we have collected, if your personal information is wrong, in case your personal information is inaccurate, we endeavor to provide you with prompt means to rectify or delete it — unless retaining such information is mandated for legitimate business or legal objectives. When updating your personal information, we may request verification of your identity before we can act on your request. You may ask us to provide details and to correct any inaccuracies via Eppie Comics Help Center (https://help.eppiecomics.com). Please note that we may decline processing requests that are unreasonable, unnecessarily repetitive, infringe upon the privacy of others, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes).

Withdrawing consent: At any time, you reserve the right to retract your consent regarding our processing of your information and your use of our services. For example:

You can opt-out of email marketing or notifications by using the unsubscribe link to withdraw your consent in such communications.
You can revoke your consent to our processing of your data and your use of the services by closing your account through the "Delete account" option within your Eppie Comics account settings.

Please be aware that withdrawing your consent may affect your accessibility to particular functions or services on our platform, and it may not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to the withdrawal of your consent.

6. Security

We understand that your personal information is of great importance to you, and endeavor to secure it to the best of our ability. To this end, we have implemented reasonable measures to safeguard the information we collect in connection with the Services.

We regularly monitor our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to our systems.

To ensure that your personal information is handled with the utmost care, we restrict access to personal information to Eppie Comics employees, contractors and agents who require access in order to process it for us. These individuals are bound by strict confidentiality obligations under their contracts with us and may face disciplinary or termination proceedings for non-compliance with such obligations.

However, please note that although we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no website, Internet transmission, computer system, or wireless connection is completely secure.

7. International Transfer of Information

Your use of our Service will involve the transfer, storage, and processing of your personal information within and outside of your country of residence, consistent with this policy. Specifically, your personal information will be transferred to the Republic of Korea. Please note that the data protection and other relevant laws of the countries to which your information may be transferred may not be as comprehensive as those of your country of residence.

8. Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update our Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our personal information practices related to the Service, or changes in applicable law. We will post a notice on our website to notify you in advance of material changes to our Privacy Policy or send an e-mail and indicate at the top of the notice when it was most recently updated. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your personal information. Your continued use of the Service after any changes to this Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of such changes. If you do not wish to acknowledge or accept any updates to this Privacy Policy, you may choose to discontinue using the Service.

9. Children’s Personal Information

We do not target children with our Services. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13(thirteen).
