Location Data Terms
시행일: May 19, 2026
Article 1 (Purpose)
These Terms set out the rights, obligations, responsibilities and other necessary matters between Team 동심지키미 (Dongsim Jikimi, the "Company") and users (referred to here as "location data subjects", the term used in Korean law) in relation to their use of the Cops and Robbers location-based service (the "Service").
Article 2 (Rules Outside These Terms)
Matters not provided for in these Terms follow the Korean Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information (the "Location Information Act"), the Korean Personal Information Protection Act, the Korean Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilisation and Information Protection, the Company's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, other applicable law, and any detailed usage guidance set by the Company.
Article 3 (Contents of the Service and Fees)
1. The Company provides the following location-based services.
- a. Real-time location-based gameplay: the GPS coordinates of location data subjects on the robber team are collected in real time and used to run the game.
- b. Location reveal (footprints): the location of the robber team is revealed to the police team and to fellow robbers at the interval set by the host.
- c. Play area departure detection: whether a user has left the play area boundary set by the host is determined on the user's device.
- d. Jail system: confirms whether an arrested robber has reached the jail area.
- e. Game statistics: statistics accumulated during the game, such as the user's own route, distance travelled and average speed, are shown to that user on the result screen.
- 2. Location-based services are in principle provided free of charge. If paid services are introduced in future, notice will be given in advance.
Article 4 (When and How Location Data Is Collected)
1. The Company collects personal location data only while a game session is in progress (IN_PROGRESS), and does not collect it before a game starts or after it ends (GAME_OVER).
- 2. Location data is collected through the following mechanisms provided by each operating system.
- a. Android: collected through a Foreground Service (foregroundServiceType="location") that displays a persistent notification indicating that a game is in progress, including while the screen is off or another app is running in the background.
- b. iOS: collected through the UIBackgroundModes location option, with the blue location indicator shown in the system status bar so that the location data subject can see that background location is in use.
- 3. The Company stops collecting location data automatically as soon as the game session ends (GAME_OVER). On iOS the system location indicator may remain visible for a short time under the operating system's own policy, but from that moment the Company neither collects, uses nor transmits any location data. On Android the Foreground Service stops immediately and the related notification is dismissed.
- 4. The Company carries out background location collection only within the legitimate purpose of running a game, and never collects a location data subject's location while a game is not in progress.
- 5. On some Android devices, background location collection may be limited by the operating system's battery optimisation policy. In that case the location data subject may exclude this app from battery optimisation in device settings. The Company is not liable for reduced accuracy or gaps in location collection caused by operating system battery policies or by the location data subject's device settings.
Article 5 (Rights of Location Data Subjects and How to Exercise Them)
1. A location data subject may at any time withdraw all or part of their consent to the provision of location-based services using their personal location data and to the provision of that data to third parties.
- 2. A location data subject may at any time request that collection, use or provision of their personal location data be suspended temporarily. The Company cannot refuse such a request and maintains the technical means to comply. Suspension can be achieved as follows.
- a. Leaving the game in the app, or ending the game session (location collection stops automatically once no game is in progress)
- b. Revoking the app's location permission in device settings
- c. On Android, ending the game from the Foreground Service notification
- 3. A location data subject may request access to or notification of the following records and, where a record is incorrect, request its correction. The Company cannot refuse such a request without good reason.
- a. Records confirming the collection, use and provision of the subject's own location data
- b. The reasons for, and the content of, any provision of the subject's personal location data to a third party under the Location Information Act or another statute
- 4. To exercise the rights in paragraphs 1 to 3, a location data subject may send a request by email (copsnro66ers@gmail.com) attaching material that verifies their identity, and the Company will take the necessary steps without delay.
- 5. Where a location data subject withdraws all or part of their consent, the Company will without delay destroy the personal location data collected and the records confirming its collection, use and provision. Where consent is withdrawn in part, this applies to the corresponding part of that data and those records.
Article 6 (Rights of Legal Representatives)
1. Where the Company seeks to collect, use or provide personal location data of a child under 14, it must obtain the consent of the child's legal representative. However, the Service does not permit registration by children under 14, so in principle the Company does not collect personal location data of children under 14.
- 2. A legal representative may withdraw consent to the collection, use or provision of a child's personal location data, and may exercise the rights set out in Article 5 on the child's behalf.
Article 7 (Rights of Guardians of Children Aged 8 or Under and Others)
1. Where the guardian of a person falling within the following (a "child aged 8 or under and others") consents to the collection, use or provision of personal location data in order to protect that person's life or physical safety, such consent is treated as consent by the person concerned. This Article reflects a scheme under the Korean Location Information Act.
- a. A child aged 8 or under
- b. An adult under full guardianship
- c. A person with a mental disability under Article 2(2)2 of the Korean Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities who is a person with a severe disability under Article 2(2) of the Korean Act on Employment Promotion and Vocational Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities, limited to persons registered as having a disability under Article 32 of the Korean Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities
- 2. The guardian of a child aged 8 or under and others means a person who in fact protects that person and who falls within the following.

- 3. A guardian who consents to the collection, use or provision of personal location data of a child aged 8 or under and others must submit to the Company a written consent form together with a document proving their status as guardian.
- 4. A guardian who gives such consent may exercise all the rights of a location data subject.

- 2. To the extent essential to running a game, the Company provides personal location data to participants in the same game session as follows.
- a. To the police team in the same session, the GPS coordinates of robbers are provided at the reveal interval set by the host, so that the location reveal feature can work.
- b. To members of the robber team in the same session, the GPS coordinates of fellow robbers are provided at the reveal interval set by the host (the same moment as the reveal to the police team), so that teammates can coordinate.
- 3. Participants in the same game session who receive location data can view it only while the game is in progress, and all sharing stops as soon as the game ends. The Company imposes on recipients obligations to protect personal data equivalent to those in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
- 4. Where the Company provides personal location data to a third party designated by the location data subject, it notifies the subject immediately on each occasion, through an in-app notification or on-screen message, of the recipient, the date and time and the purpose of the provision.

The Company may in future introduce features such as local storage of the user's own game records on their device, storage of game records on the Company's servers, and sharing of routes with other participants. Such features are enabled only where the location data subject has given separate consent. Where they are introduced, the corresponding provisions of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy will be announced at least 30 days before they take effect.
Article 12 (Change and Suspension of the Service)
1. The Company may temporarily suspend the location-based service for repair, inspection, replacement or failure of equipment, loss of communications, or other substantial operational reasons. In that case the Company will notify location data subjects in advance, for example by an in-app announcement. Where advance notice is not possible for unavoidable reasons, notice may be given afterwards.
