Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: When you subscribe to our newsletter, request online or email consultations, post comments, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any symptoms, medical records, or other health information you choose to share.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we collect standard log data such as IP address, device type, browser, referring pages, and pages visited. We also use cookies and similar technologies, described below.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site, deliver newsletters you subscribed to, respond to consultation requests, ensure security, prevent spam, and comply with applicable law. We do not sell your personal information.
Health and Consultation Information
Symptoms, medical records, and other health information you provide during online or email consultations are used only to evaluate and respond to your inquiry. This information is treated with medical confidentiality and is not used for advertising. Consultation records are retained for the period required by applicable medical records laws and then deleted. Information on this site is provided for general educational purposes and is not a substitute for examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, secure the site, and understand aggregate usage. Some pages embed third-party content (videos, images, social media posts) that may set their own cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
This site is hosted on WordPress.com (Automattic Inc.). We may use additional service providers for newsletter delivery, video consultations, payments, and analytics. These providers process information on our behalf under their own privacy terms. Comment avatars are provided by the Gravatar service (https://automattic.com/privacy/).
Data Retention
- Newsletter subscriptions — until you unsubscribe.
- Comments and form submissions — for as long as you remain associated with the service.
- Consultation records — for the period required by applicable medical records laws.
- Analytics logs — typically up to 24 months in aggregated form.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Residents of the EU/UK have rights under the GDPR; California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA; residents of Korea have rights under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). To exercise these rights, please contact Dr.guak@riche.clinic.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International Data Transfers
Because our hosting and some service providers are located outside Korea, your information may be processed in other countries. We take reasonable measures to protect information when it is transferred.
