PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY

What the site does today

Seoul Keys is a public educational service for learning Hangul and practising Korean typing. Signed-in learners receive a personal progress page and visit rewards. The service does not currently offer payments, uploads, public profile pages, or advertising. The optional learner community publishes posts, replies and chosen nicknames; community rules and translation disclosures are available at Community rules & privacy. It does use product analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) to understand how the lessons are used and where learners get stuck. Typing entries stay in the active browser session; summarized progress is saved to the learner’s account.

Learner community

Community messages, nicknames, language and timestamps are public. Account email is kept private for ownership and abuse prevention; personal typing answers and learning progress are not imported into the community. Public message text may be processed by Cloudflare Workers AI for translation. No account email, private progress or session credentials are included in translation requests. Cached translations and moderation records are retained with the community messages. Removal from public view is a soft delete; contact us to request complete erasure of messages and their translations. Please read the community rules and privacy details before posting.

개인정보처리방침 · PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy by minimization

Seoul Keys uses the authenticated account email and display name to provide a personal learning page. It does not sell personal information, build advertising profiles, or ask learners for phone numbers, precise locations, contacts, photos, or payment details.

Information used by the current service

Authenticated email address and display nameIdentify the learner, secure account-owned progress, and display the personal page. Retained while the learning account remains active or until a valid deletion request is completed.
Lesson number, completed sentences, practice time, accuracy, XP, visit streak, benefit balance, and earned badgesProvide progress sync, the personal dashboard, and repeat-visit benefits. Retained with the learning account.
Game type, active play duration, and last played time for signed-in learnersHelp the site operator understand game use and learning difficulties.

Interface language, keyboard layout, pronunciation and sound settingsSaved in browser storage until the learner clears site data.
Daily lesson number and completion stateSaved on the device to resume the current day’s lesson; replaced as the lesson changes.
Text typed into practice fieldsUsed in memory to score the exercise. The service does not submit or persist it on a Seoul Keys server.
Technical access and security logsThe hosting infrastructure may process standard request data such as IP address, user agent, time, and requested page to deliver and protect the site. Seoul Keys does not use these logs for advertising profiles.

Korean pronunciation

Fixed lessons use pre-generated female and male Korean audio files. Playback does not send the learner’s typed answer to a TTS provider. If an administrator-added sentence has no recorded file, the site can fall back to the browser or operating system speech feature; a device vendor may then process speech according to that vendor’s settings and policy. Learners can turn pronunciation off at any time.

Your choices and rights

  • Turn pronunciation and typewriter sounds off independently.
  • Remove local preferences and lesson progress by clearing this site’s browser data.
  • Sign out of the personal page and continue using available public information.
  • Request information, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection where applicable by emailing travels444@gmail.com.

Security and international delivery

The site uses encrypted HTTPS delivery and minimizes stored information. Hosting may process requests in multiple countries to provide reliable delivery. No system is perfectly secure; material incidents will be assessed and reported as required by applicable law.

이용약관 · TERMS OF USE

Use Seoul Keys to learn and practice

  1. Educational service. Seoul Keys provides typing and language practice, not professional translation, immigration, legal, medical, or emergency advice.
  2. Permitted use. Learners may use the service for personal and classroom learning. Automated scraping, security attacks, interference, impersonation, unlawful use, and unauthorized redistribution of protected content are prohibited.
  3. Availability. Lessons may change, pause, or be removed for maintenance, safety, licensing, or technical reasons.
  4. Learning results. Scores and translations are instructional aids. Accuracy and fluency outcomes are not guaranteed.
  5. Third-party services. Pre-generated speech models, optional browser speech, hosting, and any third-party content introduced later may be governed by additional provider terms.
  6. Liability. To the extent allowed by law, the service is provided as available. Mandatory consumer rights are not excluded.
  7. Changes. Material changes will be dated and summarized on this page before they take effect where notice is required.

쿠키·광고 정책 · COOKIES & ADS

Cookies, analytics & AdSense connection

The service uses browser local storage for essential preferences and daily lesson continuity. Google AdSense code is installed for site connection and review. Ad requests remain paused; advertising is not active.

Loading the Google script sends technical request information to Google and can read existing Google cookies. Pausing ad requests is not a consent management platform. Required consent controls must be configured before advertising is activated.

Learn more about how Google uses data on partner sites in the Google partner-site privacy notice.

It does use two product-analytics tools so we can improve the lessons:

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — privacy-first page and visit counts. No cookies, no cross-site tracking.
  • Microsoft Clarity — aggregated interaction data, heatmaps, and session replays that show where learners hesitate or get stuck. Clarity sets its own cookies and is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Text typed into practice fields is not sent to our server, and account passwords are never entered on this site.

You can block these at any time with your browser’s tracking protection or an ad/tracker blocker; the lessons and games continue to work normally.

Advertising choices & regional consent

If advertising is enabled later, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to serve and measure ads. Personalized ads may be based on visits to this or other websites. The AdSense publisher identifier is pub-4355487582107293.

Before personalized ads are served to visitors in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the service must provide a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) and obtain the required consent. Advertising remains paused; this notice does not claim that a CMP is already configured.

You can review Google's personalized advertising controls in My Ad Center or review participating vendors' choices at YourAdChoices. These vendor controls do not replace consent choices on this site.

Behavioral advertising must not be directed at children.

저작권·콘텐츠 정책 · COPYRIGHT

Original lessons first; protected media only with permission

The interface, original practice sentences, course structure, and original game presentation are Seoul Keys materials unless otherwise stated. Korean language facts and ordinary short expressions may not be proprietary, but a particular song lyric, screenplay, subtitle, recording, image, logo, character, or branded title can be protected by its owner.

  • K-POP lyrics and real K-Drama or film dialogue will be published only when licensed or otherwise lawfully usable.
  • Current drama-style practice lines are original dialogue and are not represented as quotations from a real production.
  • Rights-holder names and marks remain the property of their owners and do not imply endorsement.
  • Copyright owners and other affected parties can report a concern at travels444@gmail.com. Reports are reviewed and disputed material may be limited or removed while a concern is assessed.

아동·가족 안전 · CHILD SAFETY

A low-data learning environment

The service has no real-time public chat, direct messaging, public profile page, upload, or location-sharing feature. The optional community has public text posts and replies under chosen nicknames. Never publish a child’s name, contact details, school or other identifying information. Younger learners should not post personal information and should use the community only with a parent, guardian or teacher. Signed-in progress uses an email address and display name. It is intended for general language learning and is not designed to collect children’s information without appropriate safeguards. Younger learners should use the service with a parent, guardian, or teacher. Age-appropriate design, parental consent, and regional child-privacy requirements must be reviewed before marketing accounts to children.

접근성 · ACCESSIBILITY

Learning should remain operable

Seoul Keys supports keyboard navigation, visible focus states, semantic labels, responsive layouts, reduced reliance on color alone, and independent audio controls. Learners can turn both pronunciation and completion sounds off. Accessibility issues can be reported through the contact page with the device, browser, page, and problem description.
