07Processing Entrustment and Overseas Transfer
As of the effective date of this Policy, ATS does not separately entrust the processing of website inquiry information to another business or transfer such information outside the Republic of Korea.
If entrusted processing or an overseas transfer becomes necessary, ATS will select and supervise the provider in accordance with applicable law and disclose the provider, entrusted work, destination country, transfer method and timing, items transferred, purpose, retention period, and refusal method before processing begins.
08Destruction of Personal Information
ATS identifies personal information eligible for destruction and destroys it after approval by the responsible privacy personnel. Electronic files are permanently deleted using methods designed to prevent recovery, and paper records are shredded or incinerated.
If information must be retained after the original purpose has been achieved because of a legal requirement, ATS will store it separately and limit access to authorized personnel.
