Welcome to Japan, As Travelers See It. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you may provide us through our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected on our site, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://japan-travelers-view.com (temporary local address). We curate and analyze public travel Vlogs to help global travelers discover the best local experiences in Japan.
2. Affiliate Disclosure & Advertising
To help support our site, we may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases made through links on our site (at no additional cost to you).
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
3. Embedded Content from Other Websites (YouTube Vlogs)
Articles on this site include embedded content, specifically curated YouTube Vlogs. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites (such as YouTube and Google) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Creator Opt-Out & Copyright Policy
We highly respect the intellectual property and copyright of content creators. We only embed public YouTube videos using YouTube’s standard embeddable player, which respects the settings set by the creators. However, if you are a video owner and wish to have your video removed from our site, please contact us immediately via our Contact Form. We will process your removal request within 24–48 hours.
4. Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic (e.g., via Google Analytics), and understand where our audience comes from.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Declining cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
5. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
6. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time.
7. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
8. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
