11. Countermeasures for Personal Information Protection
When handling personal information at the request of members¡¯ regarding own passwords, etc., MNK makes every effort to confirm personal identity and safely manage such information through methods as best as possible.
MNK appoints a person who performs the tasks of personal information management, including a personal information protection officer, and a person who inevitably handles personal information for other duties in terms of the access to personal information. MNK always places importance on the observance of the Guidelines by providing training for employees who handle members' personal information.
Aside from MNK¡¯s efforts as aforementioned, members should take special care not to disclose or leak their ID, password, residential registration number and other personal information on the Internet. MNK shall not take responsibility for the leakage of ID, password and other personal information due to members¡¯ own negligence or poor management.
Accordingly, a member should be sure to use his/her own ID and password and frequently change the password. It is recommended to use a password with a mixture of alphabet and numbers that cannot easily be recognized.
In addition, it would be advisable to log-off every time and close the web browser after using MNK services. Particularly, in the case of sharing a computer with others or using the Internet in public places, it is more crucial to comply with the procedures as mentioned, for protecting personal information.
Please bear in mind that any personal information voluntarily provided by any member through chatting, bulletin board, email, and so forth, can be misused by other persons without their consent. Since members are required to secure a log-in password, they should not disclose their own personal information in a public space to others as well. Moreover, members should be careful not to disclose personal information, keeping it in mind that others might see the screen on the computer while the member is using services in a PC room, public places, or other crowded places.
