In addition to the efforts of the company as mentioned above, members should be careful not to expose their personal information such as ID, password, and resident registration number on the Internet or leak them to others. The company is not responsible for any leaks of personal information such as ID and password due to the member’s carelessness or negligence in management.

Therefore, members should use their ID and password only for themselves, change their password frequently, and use a password that is difficult for others to guess by combining English letters and numbers.

In addition, it is recommended that members always log out and close their web browser after using the service. This procedure is especially necessary for the security of personal information when sharing a computer with others or using it in a public place.

You should keep in mind that personal information that you voluntarily provide through chat, bulletin boards, email, etc. may be used by others for purposes other than your intention. Members are responsible for maintaining the security of their login passwords, so they should not carelessly leave their personal information in spaces that are open to others. Also, in places where there are many people around you, such as PC rooms or other public places, you should be careful not to expose your personal information, keeping in mind that others may view your computer screen while you are using the service.
