Terms of Use

1. Unofficial app

The App is an independent app made by MintSoft. It does not represent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety or any government agency of the Republic of Korea. For official services, use Safety Korea (안전디딤돌) and your phone's built-in emergency alerts.

2. The service

The App shows emergency disaster alert messages issued in the Republic of Korea as a searchable list, and offers regional push notifications, a calendar and regional overview, bookmarks, action guides, a preparedness checklist, a family contact list stored on your device, voice read-out, weather warning and earthquake information, and machine translation of alerts.

3. Not an emergency alert system

The App is a supplementary information tool. Do not rely on it as your only source of warnings. Alerts and push notifications may be delayed, incomplete or missing because of the data source, network, device settings or other causes. Always follow instructions from authorities and your phone's official emergency alerts. In an emergency, call 119 (fire/ambulance) or 112 (police).

4. Data sources and translations

Alert messages come from public data of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (Disaster Safety Data Sharing Platform) and are shown without changes, with the source indicated. Weather warnings and earthquake information come from the Korea Meteorological Administration's public pages. Action guides are summaries of the Korea National Safety Portal.

Translations are generated automatically by AI for reference only and may be inaccurate. The original Korean message is authoritative.

5. Price and advertising

The App is free to use and shows advertisements provided by Google AdMob. The App currently has no in-app purchases.

6. Acceptable use

• Do not use the App or its content to spread false or misleading emergency information.
• Do not present the App or screenshots of it as an official government service.
• Do not scrape, overload or interfere with the App or our server, or reverse-engineer the App except as permitted by law.
• Do not resell or commercially redistribute the App.

7. Intellectual property

The App's design, code, name and logo belong to MintSoft. Public alert data and guides belong to their original providers and are used under their terms of use.

8. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of accuracy, timeliness, availability or fitness for a particular purpose.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, MintSoft is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for damages caused by delayed, missing or inaccurate alerts, arising from the use of or inability to use the App. This does not limit liability for our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.

10. Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or end the App or any feature. We may update these terms; the effective date above will change, and significant changes will be announced in the App or on this page. You can stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.
