Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Genu.ID (the website at https://genu.id, the “Genu.ID” mobile app, and the operator console) collects, uses, retains, deletes, and shares personal information.

Operator information

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need. Consumers can verify authenticity without creating an account or signing in; in that mode, we do not collect any identifying information about you.

1-1. Anonymous users (no sign-in)

  • Device OS / model / app version — compatibility and diagnostics (automatic)
  • Service logs (scan request/response timing) — service operation (automatic)
  • Precise location — only if you grant permission (optional)
  • Camera image — not stored, decoded in memory only

1-2. Signed-in users (distributors and store staff)

  • Email, password (one-way hashed), store/affiliation — account identity
  • Issuance, sale, store-location records — operator features
  • Push notification token — only if notifications are enabled (optional)

1-3. What we do not collect

We do not collect address-book contacts, stored photos/videos, payment information, advertising identifiers (IDFA / GAID), or third-party advertising-tracking identifiers.

2. Purposes of Collection and Use

  • Providing authenticity verification (QR validation, result delivery)
  • Detecting and warning about suspected tampering/counterfeiting
  • Service operation, incident response, and performance improvement
  • For signed-in users: account authentication and operator features (issuance, sale, store-location records)
  • Optional: recording verification-point coordinates when location is allowed
  • Optional: sending alerts about suspicious results

We do not use collected information for any purpose beyond those above.

3. Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell, share, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The following processors are engaged solely to operate the service:

  • Cloud infrastructure provider (e.g., AWS) — server and database hosting, domestic region preferred
  • Apple Push / Google FCM — notification routing, only if notifications are enabled

We may disclose information to law enforcement when required by a lawful legal request.

4. Retention and Deletion

  • Anonymous scan logs: up to 12 months from collection, then automatic deletion
  • Signed-in account information: deleted on account closure (except items required by law)
  • Issuance / sale / store records: the period required by applicable law (commerce, tax)
  • Location coordinates (when allowed): same as scan logs (up to 12 months)
  • Push tokens: discarded on notification opt-out or app uninstall

Electronic data is deleted using non-recoverable methods; printed materials are shredded or incinerated.

5. Your Rights

You may at any time:

  • Request access to your personal information
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Withdraw consent (location and notification permissions can be revoked from your OS settings)

How to request: email cs@palettecorp.kr. After identity verification, we will respond within 10 business days. Anonymous users have no stored identifiers, so no separate deletion procedure is needed; deletion of scan or location logs is honored on request.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website (https://genu.id) uses only the cookies necessary to maintain a login session. We do not use advertising or marketing tracking cookies. The mobile app stores authentication material in the device's secure store (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore).

7. Children

Genu.ID does not impose an age restriction (store ratings are 4+ on the App Store and Everyone on Google Play), and we do not knowingly collect identifying information from children. Anonymous use of the app and website does not generate identifying information.

8. Security Measures

  • Encrypted transport (TLS / HTTPS)
  • One-way hashing of passwords
  • Mobile credentials stored in the device secure store
  • Least-privilege access control and operations log review
  • Periodic vulnerability assessments

9. Changes to This Policy

When this policy changes, we will publish the update on this page and in in-app notices at least 7 days before it takes effect. Material changes (e.g., new collection items or new processors) are announced at least 30 days in advance.
