LG Uplus announced on the 13th that it has opened a 'Privacy Center' to protect customer personal information and ensure the right to know as data subjects.
The Privacy Center is a place where customers can easily check how their personal information is managed by simply accessing a webpage and reviewing the privacy policy.
While a typical Privacy Center focuses on introducing policies and technologies to customers, LG Uplus's Privacy Center aims to be a platform where customers can verify and manage the usage of their personal information.
A representative feature set to launch in the second half of this year is the 'Integrated Personal Information Consent Management' function. Customers who log into the Privacy Center will be able to easily check which personal information processing they have consented to for major services and change their consent status as needed. Additionally, customers can view various legal notice histories related to the use of their personal information at a glance, allowing them to access notices even after deleting those received via email.
Continuously providing personal information-related content that is helpful to customers is another distinguishing factor from other Privacy Centers. Currently, LG Uplus is producing various materials related to personal information protection in the form of card news called 'Personal Information Content,' and plans to continue to present content related to information protection activities and personal information.
Next month, LG Uplus will release an 'Easy Version' of the privacy policy to help customers better understand key information related to personal information.
The Easy Version will consist of short video content featuring LG Uplus's character, Muno, capitalizing easy expressions to explain the process of personal information processing and how data subjects can exercise their rights, making it understandable even for children.
With the center enabling personal information to be managed in one place and allowing customers to clearly see how their information is being used, LG Uplus expects this will strengthen customer trust regarding personal information protection.
Hong Kwan-hee, head of the Information Security Center at LG Uplus, said, 'The Privacy Center will significantly enhance transparency and convenience in personal information management' and noted, 'Through this, we expect to provide safer digital services to customers and reinforce the responsibility of corporations for personal information protection.'
