[EToday][Legal Update] Why Are You Receiving Dormant Status Deactivation Emails? – Sujin JUNG and Jang Hyun KA, Lee & Ko

On August 3, 2024, an article by attorneys Sujin Jung and Jang Hyun Ka was published in EToday. In the article, they explain that when the amended Personal Information Protection Act took effect on September 15 of last year, the requirement to change user accounts to dormant status after a certain period of inactivity was abolished. Consequently, online businesses are now free to establish their own policies for changing user accounts to dormant status. This is why various online businesses have recently been sending emails or SMS messages informing their users about the deactivation of dormancy status.
