Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-06-20 · Last revised: 2026-09-28
1. General
HAZE PARK (the "Company") complies with the Personal Information Protection Act of Korea and related laws in operating ATLAS (the "Service"), and processes personal information under this policy.
2. Items Collected, Purposes, and Retention
| Items | Method | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address, authentication identifier | At sign-up (via the contracted authentication provider, Clerk) | Member identification, login, account management, required notices | Until account deletion (or the statutory retention period where applicable) |
| User content (manuscripts, imported source files, photos and images, book settings, Story Bible entries, writing assistant instructions and results) | Created/uploaded by the user during use | Providing the Service, including writing, typesetting, preview, PDF generation, writing assistance and project download | Until account deletion or deletion request |
If manuscripts or photos contain other people's personal information, that information is stored and processed in the same way as user content. Payment details such as card numbers are entered directly in the Toss Payments payment window and are not received by the Company. The Company does not collect personal information of children under 14 (who may not register).
3. Processing Delegation and Overseas Transfer
The Company delegates processing as follows. The processors are located abroad, so personal information is transferred overseas. Users may refuse the transfer, in which case the Service cannot be provided.
| Processor | Country | Items | Timing/Method | Purpose | Retention | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clerk, Inc. | USA | Email, authentication identifier, session data | Network transfer at sign-up/login | Authentication and session management | Until account deletion | privacy@clerk.com |
| Vercel Inc. | USA | Access data (IP address, browser information), requests passing through the web server to the API server (manuscripts, source files, photos, writing assistant, payments, refunds and similar), public page visit data | Network transfer when you use the Service or visit public information pages | Web hosting and public page visit statistics (Vercel Web Analytics) | Until the hosting purpose is fulfilled | privacy@vercel.com |
| Railway Corp. | Singapore | Requests to store, typeset, generate PDFs from and download user content, writing assistant requests, payment confirmation and refund requests | Network transfer on saving, typesetting and PDF generation, project download, writing assistant, payment and refund requests | API server hosting (storage, typesetting, PDF generation, writing assistant, payment processing) | Until the purpose is fulfilled | team@railway.com |
| Google (legal entity pending confirmation) | Pending confirmation | Current chapter title and text, your request, related story bible entries | Network transfer when you run the writing assistant | Generating writing assistant responses | Pending confirmation | Pending confirmation |
| Neon, Inc. | Singapore | Account identifier, user content, payment and refund records | Persistent storage during use | Database hosting | Until account deletion | privacy@neon.tech |
4. Provision to Third Parties
The Company does not provide personal information to third parties, except upon lawful requests grounded in statute.
5. Cookies and Browser Storage
The Service uses the following first-party cookies and browser storage, solely to provide functionality. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are used.
| Type | Item | Purpose | How to clear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookies | Clerk session cookies | Keeping you signed in | Clear browser cookies or sign out |
| localStorage | Language preference (atlas.lang), dashboard working-state and legacy-migration keys, telemetry sampling cohort (atlas-idb-telemetry-cohort) | Language persistence, editing continuity, consistent anonymous sampling | Clear site data in your browser |
| sessionStorage | Session nonce (atlas-idb-session-nonce) | Distinguishing same-browser sessions (anonymous, never transmitted) | Cleared automatically when the tab closes |
| IndexedDB | Typesetting artifact byte cache (atlas-artifact-byte-cache / atlas-artifact-bytes) | Preview performance (local cache of typesetting output, keyed by derived hashes) | Entries for an account are removed when a sign-out or account switch is detected. Clearing site data also removes them |
| IndexedDB and localStorage | Unsaved-draft recovery copy (atlas-draft-local-recovery / snapshots) and lookup keys starting with atlas.draft.recovery.pointer. | Keeps edits not yet saved to the server in this browser, so they can be recovered after a lost connection or a closed tab (includes the full chapter title and body) | Removed automatically when the server confirms the save, when you choose Discard in the recovery notice, or when that chapter or book is deleted. Also removed when the editor detects a sign-out or account switch. Clearing site data also removes it. Copies on other devices must be cleared on those devices |
| HTTP cache | Some preview typesetting files, such as glyph images | Faster display when the same preview is opened again | May remain in the browser for up to one year. Not removed automatically on sign-out. Clear your browser cache to remove it |
You may refuse or clear this storage in your browser settings. Doing so may limit sign-in persistence, language settings, preview performance or recovery of unsaved edits.
6. Service Quality Telemetry and Visit Statistics
The Company operates first-party telemetry to measure preview-cache quality. Only anonymous daily aggregates keyed by date, cache mode, schema version, and sampling rate are retained, with the technical guarantees below.
- Identifying and content fields — userId, projectId, manuscriptId, IP address, User-Agent, locale, manuscript text/content, content hashes (SHAs, drawUsedShas, artifactSha256), cache key hashes (cacheKeyHash), and session nonces (nonce, browserSessionNonce, writtenSessionNonce) — are rejected at BOTH collection seams (web proxy and API validator).
- Raw events are never stored or logged. Only daily aggregate rows (UTC day, cache mode, schema version, sampling rate) remain on the server.
Visit statistics for public pages use Vercel Web Analytics from Vercel Inc., separate from the quality measurement above. A visit is recorded only on public information pages such as the home page, the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service. Visits to the book workspace and payment screens you use after signing in are not recorded.
- The data sent is the page address (with anything after ? or # removed), the time of the visit, the version of the statistics tool, the base address of the site you came from if you arrived from another site, your IP address and your browser information (User-Agent).
- Sign-in information, cookies, manuscripts and book titles are not sent.
7. Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
You may at any time request access, correction, deletion, suspension of processing, or withdrawal of consent (account deletion) by contacting support@atlasbind.com. The Company acts without delay within the statutory period. Self-service account deletion is in preparation. Until then, requests are handled through the contact above. Rights may also be exercised through a legal representative.
8. Destruction of Personal Information
Deleting a book removes its manuscript, photos and PDFs from our servers. Only payment records are kept separately for the period required by law. To delete your whole account, contact Customer Support and we will let you know once it is done.
When personal information becomes unnecessary (retention expiry, purpose fulfilled), the Company destroys it without delay. Electronic files are permanently deleted irrecoverably. Information subject to statutory retention is stored separately and destroyed after the period ends.
9. Security Measures
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access control
- Authentication/authorization checks restricting access to one's own data
- Database integrity constraints and least-privilege access
- Verification of processors' security certifications (e.g. SOC 2) and contractual safeguards
