KoPhil App Operation Policy

1. Permissions Used by the App

The app optionally requests access to location, storage, camera, and file/media permissions.

[Optional permissions]

• Location: used to show your position on the map and provide neighborhood-based matching/friend-finding features.
• Storage: used to save profile/chat images and app cache for faster performance.
• Camera: used for profile photos, selfie verification, and uploading images in chat.
• Files & media: used to attach profile photos and files in chat.

2. Member Reporting and Blocking Policy

KoPhil provides in-app reporting and blocking features to maintain a safe meeting environment. Reported accounts may be warned, temporarily suspended, or permanently banned after review. Blocked users cannot view each other's profiles or exchange messages.

3. Identity Verification and Prevention of Fake Profiles

KoPhil verifies that a usable phone number was provided at sign-up through SMS/OTP verification, and plans to gradually introduce stronger country-specific identity verification methods (e.g., PASS verification in Korea). Fake profiles and suspected fraud accounts are investigated and sanctioned upon report.

4. Prohibition of Minor Registration

KoPhil is available only to users aged 18 and above. Date-of-birth entry and age verification procedures at sign-up block registration by minors.

5. Account Deletion and Data Handling

Users may delete their account at any time via "Settings > Delete Account" in the app. Upon withdrawal, all personal information is deleted without delay, except for information that must be retained under applicable law, and a withdrawn account cannot be recovered. For details, see our Privacy Policy.
