The South Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) is one of the world's strictest data privacy laws, requiring companies to obtain explicit consent before collecting personal information,[1] accept information deletion requests,[2] and requires personal information to be destroyed after its collection purpose has been achieved.[3] In addition, service providers are required to deactivate accounts that haven't been used in over 2 years to protect personal data.[4]
South Korea legally mandates at least a 7-day return policy for most goods bought online.[5]
