Privacy policy.

At Woven Threads Korea, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and privacy in our community-based oral history project. We recognize the importance of respecting the wishes and privacy preferences of all participants involved. This page outlines our approach to participant consent and privacy, ensuring that each individual's rights and preferences are respected throughout the project.

Consent Process:

Before participating in our oral history project, all participants are provided with clear and detailed information about the purpose, scope, and intended use of their interviews. We emphasize that participation is entirely voluntary, and individuals have the right to withdraw at any time without consequence.

Participants are informed about the potential uses of their recordings, including research, educational purposes, public presentations, and archival preservation. They are given the opportunity to specify any limitations or preferences regarding the disclosure of their interviews, such as restricting access to certain segments or omitting personally sensitive information.

Privacy Protection:

We understand the importance of safeguarding participants' privacy and confidentiality. All recordings and associated materials are stored securely and accessed only by authorized individuals involved in the project. Personal identifying information is kept confidential and used only for project-related purposes.

For recordings that contain sensitive or personal information, such as details about health, family history, or other private matters, we take additional precautions to ensure privacy protection. This may include anonymizing or pseudonymizing participants' identities, omitting specific details, or obtaining explicit consent for disclosure.

Restricted Access:

Some recordings may be subject to restrictions or partial disclosure based on the preferences of the participants. We respect participants' decisions regarding the accessibility of their interviews and take appropriate measures to implement their wishes.

Certain interviews may be designated as restricted access, requiring users to obtain permission before accessing the content. We provide clear guidelines on how to request access to restricted recordings and ensure that access is granted only to individuals who have demonstrated a legitimate need for the information.

Continuous Communication:

Throughout the project, we maintain open and transparent communication with participants regarding the handling and use of their recordings. We encourage participants to express any concerns or preferences they may have regarding privacy and consent, and we are committed to addressing these concerns in a timely and respectful manner.

Contact Us:

If you have any questions or concerns about participant consent and privacy in our oral history project, please don't hesitate to contact us. Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
