Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what information URICELEB processes when you read the publication or use the restricted administrator sign-in.
Information We Collect
You can read URICELEB without creating an account. When you visit, our hosting, delivery, and security providers may process standard technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested URL, referring page, and request time.
On production deployments, Google Analytics may collect interaction data, session statistics, approximate location, and browser or device information. Authorized administrators who sign in with Google provide account information such as name, email address, profile image, and Google account identifier for authentication and access control.
How We Use Information
- Deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the public website.
- Understand readership and improve editorial navigation.
- Authenticate authorized content administrators.
- Detect abuse and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Analytics
URICELEB uses Google Analytics on production deployments. Google Analytics uses first-party identifiers, including cookies commonly named _ga and _ga_<container-id>, to distinguish visitors and sessions. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, or other directly identifying profile data to Google Analytics.
Learn more about how Google handles Analytics data in Google's data safeguards information. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
YouTube API Services
The Top Music Videos in Korea section uses YouTube API Services to retrieve public ranking metadata for popular music videos in South Korea. URICELEB processes the video identifier, title, channel name, thumbnail URL, duration, view count, and publication time returned by YouTube. This feature does not request access to or authorization for a visitor's YouTube or Google account.
URICELEB temporarily stores this public YouTube API data in backend memory for up to 48 hours to provide the daily ranking and preserve the last available result during a temporary upstream failure. The snapshot is not tied to a visitor profile and is not sold.
The home page links to YouTube but does not embed a YouTube player. YouTube and Google process information under Google's Privacy Policy.
Administrator Sign-In
Google OAuth sign-in is provided only for authorized URICELEB content administrators. The API issues a secure session cookie after successful sign-in. Public visitors do not need this cookie, and URICELEB does not currently offer public profiles or member features.
Service Providers and Data Sharing
We use service providers for website hosting and delivery, API connectivity, image storage and delivery, analytics, and administrator authentication. These currently include Vercel, Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services, and Google. They process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell personal information.
Advertising and Consent
Google AdSense advertising is not currently active. Before advertising cookies or personalized advertising are enabled, URICELEB will update this policy, publish the required advertising disclosures, and deploy consent controls for regions where consent is required.
If advertising is enabled, Google and other disclosed advertising partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads. Visitors will be able to review applicable choices through the consent interface and Google's advertising settings.
Retention and Your Choices
Technical logs, Analytics data, and administrator account records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for their stated purposes, security, and legal obligations, subject to provider and account settings. Administrators can end an active session by logging out. All visitors can manage or delete cookies through browser settings.
Privacy rights vary by location. For a privacy question or request, contact URICELEB through our official Instagram account. We will verify a request before acting when necessary to protect account and publication security.
Children and External Links
URICELEB is a general-audience entertainment publication and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect profile information from children.
Articles may link to third-party websites and social platforms. Their privacy practices are controlled by those services, not URICELEB.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page before the related feature is activated.
