Privacy Policy
Bokhee Letter (the "Service") is run by Soon & Bi Studio (순비스튜디오), a business registered in the Republic of Korea. This policy applies from November 11, 2026. This English version has the same content as the Korean policy. If the two versions differ, the Korean version applies.
1. What we collect
- Your nickname (required)
- The recipient's nickname (optional). You type this in for them, so please don't use anyone's real name.
- Your own message (only if you choose "Write my own")
- Confirmation that you are 14 or older (only if you choose "Write my own". We only check it and don't store it.)
- The letter's language (Korean, English, Japanese, or Traditional Chinese). It is saved with the letter so the letter opens in the same language, and it is deleted with the letter.
We don't collect real names, phone numbers, email addresses, or photos. There are no accounts. Messages that contain a phone number, a link, or an email address are blocked and can't be sent.
2. Why we use it and our legal basis
| With your consent | Your nickname, the recipient's nickname, and your message: used only to create the letter and show it to people who open the link. You consent by creating a letter. If you don't agree, simply don't create a letter (you won't be able to use the Service). |
|---|---|
| Without consent (our legitimate interest, Article 15(1)(6) of Korea's Personal Information Protection Act) |
· Spam prevention: we mix your IP address with the date, turn it into a scrambled value that changes every day, and use it only to count how many letters were made in a day. We don't store your IP address itself. · Report records: when a letter is reported, we keep the letter number, the reason, and the time so we can handle it. |
We never contact the recipient or send them anything. You pass the letter on yourself. We don't use advertising or analytics tools. The KakaoTalk sharing tool used on the Korean pages is described in section 6. We follow Korea's Personal Information Protection Act. We do not sell your personal information or share it for advertising. We don't track you across other websites, so we don't respond differently to "Do Not Track" signals.
3. How long we keep it and how we delete it
| Letters (nicknames and message) | 30 days from creation. Deleted right away if you tap [Delete] |
|---|---|
| Spam-prevention value | One day (deleted within 26 hours at the latest) |
| Report records | 1 year. Only the letter number, the reason, and the time. No personal information (nicknames, message, IP address) |
| Copy of a reported letter | Kept for handling the report until the original letter is deleted. If the letter is deleted with [Delete], the copy is deleted too |
How we delete: when the period ends, our servers delete the data automatically so it can't be recovered. We don't keep printed copies.
4. What we store in your browser
To make it easier next time, we save your nickname only in that device's browser (local storage). We also save there whether you turned the background music on or off on the letter page, and which display language you chose. None of these are sent to our servers. We don't use cookies. On the Korean pages, we checked on November 10, 2026 that tapping the KakaoTalk send button does not create new cookies or stored values on this site (bokheeletter.com). Anything that happens after you move to Kakao's screen follows Kakao's own policy.
How to refuse: clear this site's data (site data and cache) in your browser settings. You'll then need to type your nickname again, and the music and language settings go back to their defaults.
5. Service providers and transfers outside Korea
We use Cloudflare to store letters and run the site. This information is stored on Cloudflare servers located outside Korea (for example, in the United States).
| Recipient | Cloudflare, Inc. (privacy contact: [email protected]) |
|---|---|
| What is transferred | Your nickname and the recipient's nickname, your message, the spam-prevention value, and report records |
| Countries | The United States and other countries where Cloudflare has data centers |
| When and how | Sent encrypted over the internet each time a letter is created or opened |
| How long the recipient keeps it | Same as section 3 (deleted automatically) |
| How to refuse, and what happens | If you don't create a letter, nothing is transferred. However, you won't be able to use the Service. |
6. Sending with KakaoTalk (Korean pages only), and other apps
The English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese pages (bokheeletter.com/en/, /ja/, /zh-tw/) do not use Kakao's sharing tool. On the English pages, [Send by Text / iMessage] and [Send on WhatsApp] open that app; on the Japanese and Traditional Chinese pages, [LINE] opens LINE's share page (social-plugins.line.me). Only when you tap one of these buttons, the letter link and a fixed short text (including your nickname) are passed to that app. Nothing is sent before you tap, and anything inside that app follows that company's own policy. You can also use your device's share feature or copy the link.
On the Korean pages, when you tap [카톡으로 보내기] on a phone, a sharing tool made by Kakao Corp. (the Kakao SDK) runs, and the following is passed to Kakao and sent through your KakaoTalk.
| What is passed on | Your nickname, the letter link, the Bokhee picture, and a fixed short text. Your message is not sent (it only appears on the page the link opens) |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To send the letter to the KakaoTalk friend or chat you choose |
| Storage and handling | Storage and handling inside KakaoTalk follow Kakao's privacy policy |
| If you don't tap the button | The Kakao sharing tool is not loaded and nothing goes to Kakao. You can also send by copying the link |
We count only the number of times the Kakao share button is tapped each day (to check Kakao's free usage limit). We don't record who tapped it, nicknames, or messages.
7. Your rights
Both senders and recipients can ask at any time to see, correct, or delete their information, or to stop its use.
- [Delete] on the letter page: deletes that letter right away.
- [Report] on the letter page, or the email below: we handle it within 10 days and let you know the result.
- If a nickname in a letter is you, you can remove the letter right away with [Delete] or [Report]. We don't ask for proof of identity.
8. Children under 14
People under 14 may not use the Service. Bokhee Letter is not directed to children under 13. If we learn that a letter was made by someone under 14, we delete it right away.

10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we post the changes and the date they apply on this page. If a change is less favorable to you, or changes how information we already have is used, we announce it at least 7 days before it applies. Changes that don't affect existing information, such as new features, apply from the day they are made. Earlier versions are kept in the history below.
