Sticker Decor

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Zorleno (the “operator”) processes users' personal information in operating the Sticker Decor app and website (the “service”) in accordance with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws. This policy explains what information we process and why, how long we keep it, and how we protect it.

The required “Consent to the Collection and Use of Personal Information” you give when signing up is based on this document. You have the right to refuse consent, but if you do, you can't sign up or use features that need an account (Decorate Together, Chat Corner, favorites, and so on). You can still keep using the app with “Browse without signing in.” If you decline consent without completing sign-up, any account information created up to that point is deleted immediately.

Information stored only on your device

  • Photos you use when decorating on your own, drafts in progress, the Archive, and My stickers (stickers made from your own photos) are stored only on your device and are never sent to our servers. Decorating dates are stored only on the device per account, remain after sign-out, and are removed for that account on deletion. Calendar widgets receive dates, streaks, and localized text, not photos or uids.
  • Cutting out a subject from a photo to make one of My stickers is also done on your device.
  • Saving a finished photo to your photo library or copying a sticker to the clipboard also happens on your device.
  • When a Decorate Together room is completed, the finished work is saved automatically to each participant's Archive on their device. This copy exists only on the device.
  • The Archive, My stickers, and drafts are kept on your device separately for each account. They stay on the device after you sign out and appear again when you sign back in with the same account.
  • When you delete your account, the Archive, My stickers, and drafts of that account stored on that device are deleted. If you delete the app, the information stored on your device is deleted with it.

Browsing without signing in

  • Without signing in, you can browse and copy stickers and symbols, decorate on your own, and use frames. In this case we do not collect account information such as your email address or nickname.
  • Decorating work, the Archive, and My stickers you create while browsing are stored only on your device.
  • To use features that need an account, such as Decorate Together, Chat Corner, and favorites, you need to sign up.
  • If an app error occurs, device information and error details may be collected by Firebase Crashlytics even while browsing. In this case no member identifier (uid) is attached.

Children under 14

Sticker Decor does not accept sign-ups from children under the age of 14. At sign-up we ask you to confirm that you are 14 or older, and we record whether and when you confirmed it.

If we learn that personal information of a child under 14 has been collected, we delete it without delay.

Automatic deletion

Every day in the early morning (Korea time), our server automatically deletes data whose retention period has ended.

  • Chat Corner (the shared chat for each language) messages are deleted 30 days after they are posted.
  • Decorate Together rooms are deleted based on their last activity: 30 days for completed or closed rooms, 7 days for rooms waiting to start, and 60 days for rooms in progress that have stalled.
  • When a Decorate Together room is deleted, its photo, room chat, records (layers) of the stickers, text, decorating materials, and drawings added to it, and reactions are deleted with it.
  • Photos of completed Decorate Together rooms are deleted from our servers after 30 days. The finished work is saved in each participant's Archive on their device.
  • Notifications in the in-app notification inbox are deleted 60 days after they are saved.
  • Error analysis records are deleted from Firebase Crashlytics after 90 days.
  • Advertising and partnership inquiries are deleted 1 year after the operator finishes handling them.
  • Report records are excluded from automatic deletion and kept separately to handle reports and respond to disputes.

How personal information is destroyed

  • When the retention period ends or the purpose of processing has been achieved, we destroy the information without delay. Information that other laws require us to keep is stored separately from other information for the required period and then destroyed.
  • Information in electronic form is erased so it cannot be recovered by deleting the database documents and storage files. Backup copies remaining in Google's systems are deleted after a certain period under Google's deletion procedures.
  • Decorate Together rooms and Chat Corner messages are destroyed automatically every day under the “Automatic deletion” rules above.
  • When you delete your account, our server deletes the data linked to your account all at once and then deletes the account itself last. You can see what is deleted in “Account deletion.”

Details

Your rights and how to exercise them

  • You can at any time request access to, correction of, deletion of, or suspension of the processing of your personal information, and withdraw your consent.
  • You can do this yourself in the app. Change your nickname and profile photo in Settings, and turn marketing notifications and Decorate Together notifications on or off in Settings. Unblock users in Settings > “Blocked users,” and delete your account and data in Settings > “Delete Account.”
  • For other requests, use Settings > “Send Feedback” or email zorleno.co@gmail.com. After confirming your identity, we will handle your request without delay and let you know the result.
  • You can also make a request through a legal representative or an authorized agent. In that case, documents proving the authorization are required.
  • Your request may be limited or refused under applicable law, and if so, we will tell you why.

Advertising

  • The app uses Google AdMob to show banner ads at the top of some screens, and rewarded ads that you can choose to watch when you want to keep saving or copying (watching one to the end lets you use the app without ads for 30 minutes). Ads are shown even if you are not signed in.
  • We request only non-personalized ads, not personalized ads tailored to your interests. We do not collect advertising IDs (IDFA on iOS, advertising ID on Android), and we do not request App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS.
  • To show ads, prevent invalid clicks and measure ad performance, Google processes device information (operating system, device model, app version, language), approximate location inferred from your IP address, and ad impression and click records. This information is processed under Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy), and we do not receive any ad information that can identify individual users.
  • Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK and Switzerland may see Google's consent dialog before ads are shown. You can use the app without consenting, in which case only limited ads are shown.

Automatic collection tools (cookies)

The website uses only one cookie, which remembers the language you chose (sd_lang, 1 year). It contains no information that identifies you. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings; if you block it, the site will be shown in your browser's language on your next visit.

Measures to keep personal information secure

  • Access management: We limit the people who handle personal information to the operator and manage access permissions for the Firebase console and admin tools.
  • Access control: Firestore and Storage security rules make sure only you can read and write your account information, only the author can see an inquiry, and only the operator can see report records and advertising and partnership inquiries.
  • Encryption in transit: Communication between the app and our servers is encrypted (TLS).
  • Protection of stored data: Google Cloud encrypts stored data by default, and passwords are stored as hashes by Firebase Authentication, so not even the operator can know them.
  • Minimal processing: Error reports include only your uid, not your email address or nickname, and photos you decorate on your own and My stickers are never sent to our servers.
