Privacy Policy

Houriva (the “app”) takes your privacy seriously and works to comply with applicable laws.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Houriva app and related web pages.

Whether ads are personalized can depend on your device settings, Google account settings, or related platform settings.

11. International transfers and third-party processing

Some third-party services Houriva uses (for example, Google AdMob, Google Play)
may process data on servers located outside the Republic of Korea.
When that happens, processing follows those providers’ policies and procedures.


12. Security

Houriva works to protect information within reasonable bounds.

Still, no system is perfectly secure given networking, OS behavior, device security, and third-party architectures.

Please keep good habits too—device locks, OS updates, and careful permission management.
