Law firm Veat performed the work of drafting and submitting a submission document regarding the advance notification of fines and corrective orders received due to suspected violations of the Location Information Act on behalf of a location information service provider (hereinafter "client").
The Act on the Protection and Use of Location Information (hereinafter "Location Information Act") stipulates legal obligations that location information service providers must comply with when collecting, using, and providing personal location information. If these are violated, the service provider may receive a fine, a corrective order, and in some cases, criminal penalties, making it a core legal provision that companies operating businesses utilizing location information must comply with.
The client is a location information service provider, and was found to have violated the Location Information Act through an inspection by a government agency, and subsequently received advance notification of fines and corrective orders. Law firm Veat actively responded on behalf of the client by submitting a submission document to reduce the fine and revoke the corrective order.
