Data protection
Privacy Statement
Last updated:
FoundrySprint is the data controller for the personal data described below. This statement is written under the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea.
1. Data we collect
We collect only the personal data we need to run our programs and operate this website. This includes the name and email you provide when you contact us, the company you list on the intake form, the answers you write into the application questionnaire, and the basic technical data your browser sends when you load our pages — for example, IP address, language, and device type. If you enrol in a program, we also collect the address and tax information required to issue an invoice as required by Korean tax law. We do not collect special categories of personal data such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, or political opinions, and we ask you not to send such information to us.
2. Scope of this Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement applies to FoundrySprint as the data controller, to the toolpanelhub.one website, and to all programs we run under the FoundrySprint brand. It does not apply to third-party websites that we link to from our pages. When you click through to a third-party site, you become subject to that site's own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them before you share any data there.
3. How we use your data
We use your personal data to run the programs you enrol in, to coordinate sessions, to issue invoices and receipts, to respond to questions you send us, and to improve our website and curriculum. With your separate opt-in consent, we may use your email to send a quarterly letter from the program director containing essays, cohort updates, and dates of upcoming events. Marketing email is opt-in only and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the footer of every message.
4. How long we keep your data
We keep your data only for as long as we need it. Application data is retained for twelve months after a decision is made, so we can respond to follow-up questions and reapplications. Active program data is retained for the duration of the program plus three years to support alumni queries. Tax-relevant invoice data is kept for the period required by Korean law, which is currently five years from the end of the relevant business year. Marketing email lists are reviewed every six months and any address that has not engaged with our messages for a year is removed.
5. Your rights
Under the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct any data that is inaccurate or incomplete, to ask us to delete data we no longer need to keep, to restrict or object to certain forms of processing, and to receive a copy of your data in a structured format. To exercise any of these rights, write to hello@toolpanelhub.one. We respond to every well-formed request within ten working days. If you believe we have mishandled your data, you can also file a complaint with the Personal Information Protection Commission.
6. Contact
For any privacy-related question, please write to hello@toolpanelhub.one. The team handling privacy is the same team that handles cohort intake, so a response usually comes within a few working days from a real person rather than an automated address. Postal correspondence can be sent to FoundrySprint, 14F, Yongsan The Prime Tower, 94 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 04386, Republic of Korea.
7. Third parties and processors
We work with a small number of carefully chosen processors to run the website and our programs: a hosting provider, an email delivery provider, an invoicing platform, and a video-conferencing platform for live sessions. Each of these processors is bound by a written data processing agreement that limits how they can handle your data. We do not sell your personal data to anyone, ever, and we do not use it for advertising profiling. Where a processor stores data outside Korea, the transfer is governed by either a standard contractual clause or by the processor's certified quality standards program.
