Consent to SMS notifications

Article 40 (Consent to receive SMS notifications)

① Messages you receive even without consenting
Notices needed to carry out a transaction are not advertising, so we send them without consent. Article 50(1) of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilisation and Information Protection applies to advertising information for commercial purposes, and to nothing else.
ⓐ Order and payment completed; payment cancellation and refund processing
ⓑ Notice that access to an e-book or lecture has been opened
ⓒ Changes to member information or password, and login confirmation
ⓓ Notice that the terms or the privacy policy are changing

② Messages you receive only if you consent (advertising information)
ⓐ News that a new lecture, e-book or programme has come out
ⓑ Notices about discounts, events and coupons
ⓒ The ATOVIA newsletter
This consent is optional. Even if you do not consent, you can use ATOVIA's services just as before (Article 22(5) of the Personal Information Protection Act).

③ Who sends them
Trade name ATOVIA · Representative Kim Jun-nyeon
A64, 2F, 558-1 Gukchaebosang-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu 41935, Republic of Korea
Business registration no. 398-01-02955 · Mail-order licence no. 2023-Daegu Jung-gu-0308
Customer service 010-2844-9201 · admin@atovia.kr
Advertising messages are sent bearing the marking (Ad) at the very start of the subject line (Article 50(4) of the same Act).

④ You can stop them at any time, free of charge
ⓐ Follow the opt-out notice at the very bottom of the message you received
ⓑ Sign in to the ATOVIA website and turn them off under My World → Notification settings
ⓒ Or simply tell us at admin@atovia.kr or 010-2844-9201
The cost of opting out is borne by ATOVIA, under Article 50(7) of the same Act. From the day you tell us you want to stop, within 14 days we let you know the outcome (Article 50(6) of the same Act). ATOVIA takes no step whatsoever that makes opting out difficult or that delays it (Article 50(5) of the same Act).
The transaction notices in ① are needed to perform the contract, so we continue to send those messages.

⑤ At night we ask you separately
Separate consent is required to send advertising messages between 9 pm and 8 am the following morning (Article 50(2) of the same Act). If you have not given that separate consent, we send no advertising messages during those hours.

⑥ Every two years we ask again
Every two years from the day you consented, we check with you whether to leave your consent as it stands (Article 50(8) of the same Act). If you do not reply after receiving that check, your consent stays as it is.

⑦ How often we send, and charges
We have set no fixed number; we send when there is something to tell you. Any carrier charge for receiving a message follows the plan you have subscribed to.

⑧ Where delivery is late or fails
Because of network conditions a message can arrive late or not arrive at all. ATOVIA is not responsible for delays or failures arising from a network fault or any other cause for which ATOVIA is not at fault. Damage arising from ATOVIA's intent or negligence is compensated.

⑨ How long records are kept
Records of consent and of its withdrawal are kept until the member closes their account, and are destroyed without delay once the account is closed.

⑩ Effective date
This consent applies from 16 September 2026.
