[Consultation] Legal advice on the transfer of member database and personal information protection.

Veat Law Firm commissioned data review regarding database transfer methods based on a request from Game Development Company A’s.

Game Development Company A reviewed the method of securing member information such as name, ID, phone number, email, and database (DB) collected during the operation of the game service.

Since member databases are personal information collected by the publisher during the provision of the game service, Company A could consider entrusting the member database acquisition to the publisher, but in this case, you must fulfill the obligations imposed on the entrustor under the Personal Information Protection Act, and we informed you of this. Additionally, we provided you with detailed information about methods available to users to obtain member databases from the publisher and the potential drawbacks that may arise in this case.

Veat Law Firm is providing optimal legal consulting related to personal information protection, led by Partner Attorneys Baek Seung-cheol and Jo Eun-byeol. If you need legal advice regarding the collection and delegation of personal information, member database transfer, etc., please feel free to contact Veat Law Firm.

Thank you.
