USKRG & the KRG Network Cares About Your Privacy & Security

USKRG and the KRGs understand your documents and story are important and precious.

Your decision to trust us with your case not a decision we take lightly, so please be assured that we are taking utmost care to treat your case with the dignity it deserves and honor your privacy, safety and data. We are privileged and honored to help you and other KADs with your cases. Thank you for trusting us.

When emailing your TRC3 case to DKRG for group submission you have more control over your data than if you submit to other third parties or use AI for your submission:

1. You have a right to know what data they have stored on you at any time and how they use it

2. You have a right to ask them to remove your data and DKRG have to do so within 30 days

3. You have a right to ask for a copy  in a digital format of all electronic data they have regarding you

4. DKRG has 3 data responsible officers that are in charge of ensuring that the EU GDPR laws are complied with.

5. All emails are deleted after 30 days, unless you explicitly give consent for them to keep

6. No data is shared with other KRG teams. For instance, if the medical team asks for data for use in a group case you will be contacted for a new separate consent

7. All case submissions with DKRG are being printed and hand delivered in paper format and in USB format to TRC3.

8. EU GDPR data protection laws are followed as opposed to data protection laws in USA and Korea, both of which are less restrictive.

Hosting

DKRG is using a professional server hosted with one.com, a server that adheres GDPR, which is the highest EU standard and is also the law. Data protection is considered a fundamental right in EU. The rules apply to all companies that process EU citizens' data - even if those companies are located outside the EU. GDPR covers different sectors (e.g. health, finance, children).

In the USA, there is no comprehensive federal data protection law like GDPR, except HIPAA, which only covers protected health information.

How does one.com protect your data?

Encryption of communications (Data in transit)

one.com protects data while it is being sent between your computer and their servers using industry-standard standards that comply with the EU GDPR regulations in the European data center for the server.

All traffic to and from their web servers (e.g. when you open your website or log in to the control panel) is encrypted with HTTPS using the TLS protocol - typically TLS 1.2 or higher (which is the modern standard). This prevents third parties from intercepting or reading your data during transmission.

Your data (username, passwords, email content, forms on your website) is sent in an encrypted “tunnel” so that unauthorized people cannot see it.

This protects both login information and regular web traffic.

Encryption at rest

one.com encrypts your data that is being stored (either short or long term) using an encryption algorithm called AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys).  This is an industry standard that widely regarded as one of the most secure forms of encryption.

Your Story Matters

Regardless of whether you submitting your case to the TRC with a Korean Rights Group or as an individual, you are making a difference to the international adoption community and taking a stand for human rights.

For those of you who are submitting with the KRGs, thank you for trusting us with your story!
