This Privacy Policy explains how Artikore, Inc. (“Artikore,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and safeguards personal information when you visit [artikore.com], interact with us, or use our services.

1) Scope

This Policy applies to our website, newsletters, events (including pop-ups and live activations), consulting services, and any other channels that link to it. Separate agreements may govern specific projects with clients and will control where they conflict with this Policy.

2) Information we collect

  • You provide: contact details (name, email, phone, company, role), inquiry details, meeting notes, billing and contract information, event registrations, resumes/CVs.

  • Collected automatically: device and usage data (IP address, browser, pages viewed, timestamps), cookies and similar technologies.

  • From third parties: business partners, event platforms, social media (if you choose to connect), public sources, and service providers (e.g., analytics, payment, CRM).

3) How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to inquiries and provide services;

  • operate our website, diagnose issues, and improve user experience;

  • analyze service performance and audience engagement;

  • send administrative messages and (with your consent where required) marketing communications;

  • plan and deliver events, including ticketing and access control;

  • comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements;

  • protect against fraud, security incidents, and misuse.

4) Legal bases (US)

We process data based on: contract (to deliver services), legitimate interests (e.g., service improvement, security, B2B marketing with opt-out), consent (e.g., non-essential cookies, newsletters), and legal obligation (compliance and recordkeeping).

5) Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar tools to operate the site and understand usage. You can manage preferences via your browser or our Cookie Settings banner. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality. We may use analytics and advertising tools (e.g., aggregated traffic reporting). [Link to Cookie Policy or settings if available.]

6) Sharing your information

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers/Processors (hosting, analytics, email, CRM, payment, security, logistics, event and ticketing platforms) under confidentiality and data-processing terms;

  • Business partners involved in delivering a project (only as necessary and subject to appropriate protections);

  • Legal/Compliance recipients where required by law or to protect rights;

  • Corporate transactions (e.g., merger, acquisition, financing) subject to confidentiality.

We do not sell personal information. We also do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising where prohibited without required notice/opt-out.

7) International transfers

We operate between Korea and the United States. Your information may be transferred, stored, and processed outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect personal data transferred internationally.

8) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described, to meet legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. Typical periods:

  • inquiry and marketing records: up to 24 months after last interaction (unless you opt out sooner);

  • client/project files: for the duration of the engagement and as required by law or contract.

9) Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the risk (e.g., access controls, encryption in transit, least-privilege practices). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; risks remain.
